Biblical Tours
Being a cradle for many civilizations, Anatolia has been a birthpla ce
or home for many religions. Starting from the birth of Earth Mother Kybele in
Catalhoyuk to the rise and spread of Pagan religions during the antiquity, from
early days of Christianity to the peak of Islam, Anatolia has been the center of
cultural change throughout the history, thus offering a very good opportunity to
observe birth, development and transition of religions through the art forms and
material remains.
