1st International Cartoon Drawing Contest
FİRST PART
TOPIC:
“Strabon People of Amasya and
Geography”
Amasya is a charming and amicable
Anatolian city in Turkey with an 8500 year old history. This place has
witnessed many civilizations up until our day. Within every street you can see
the prints of different cultures. Listen closely and you can hear whispers of
the past, beating and growing stronger with every breath. Like natural
opened-air museum, that lies in the Central Black Sea region. In this town,
that is known as the city of Shahzadah
(The son of the Sultan/Prince), has lived those who valued knowledge, art and
culture. Since the ancient times it’s always been a place of fairy tales. And these
past few years the city has become a major tourist attraction.
The world’s first geographer
STRABON (BC 64- AD 24) was born in this lovely city. In case you may not know
him, here is a brief summary of his life. Strabon is known for his works in History
and Geography. Roman Empire’s wandering philosopher. The ancient world knew him
from the geography books he had written. In the year BC 44 he went to Rome in order
to continue his education and stayed there till BC 31. Then after touring
Greece he went to Egypt in the year BC 28. He wrote the book HİSTORİKA HYPOMNENOTO, which sadly has been
lost. But his other great work GEGRAPHUMENA (Geography) was kept intact up
until our time. This book not only carries a historical importance but also
highlights the past nations and Empire’s relation to the physical world.
With thousands of years’ worth history
that has welcomed 13 civilizations, Amasya still carries the beauty left from
the past. This is the home town for many artist, scientists, and politicians. If
you ever wish to be deeply inspired, Amasya should be at the top of your list.
PURPOSE: “Born in
this fairytale like Anatolian city, what were the world’s first geographer
Strabon’s contributions to the development of the knowledge of geography, art,
cultures and space for the better world? What kind of climate, geography, and
cultural infrastructure does this city have that many famous people born there
grew up to become successful in life.”

fantastic works of unique arts. Hope for the best of lucks for all….
