	Caria
		Caria and the Carians are mentioned for the first time in the cuneiform texts of the Old Assyrian and Hittite Empires, i.e., between c.1800 and c.1200.
		Caria is, like Greece, a country of mountains and valleys, poor in agricultural and other resources - in comparison with Egypt and Babylonia a backward country.
		He was succeeded by his sister (and wife) Artemisia -she invited Greek artists to finish the Mausoleum-, his brothers Idrieus and Pixodarus and finally his younger sister Ada.

		Towards the end of the Roman Empire and the birth of Byzantine, Caria began to decline, the population moved away, and the once great coastal cities lost their former power and some of their splendour.
