Description
Xanthos, Turkey
Apparently, when the ancient city of Xanthos found itself under seige, the entire population commited suicide rather than surrender.

When wandering about these amphitheatres in Turkey (they seem to be everywhere) its easy to forget what dreadful things must have gone on there many centuries ago.

This is a great picture. I had to laugh at the guy sitting on the very top. Wonder how he got up there.
