Asia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The demarcation between Asia and Africa is the isthmus of Suez (though the Sinai Peninsula, being a part of Egypt east of the canal, is often geopolitically considered a part of Africa). Asia is by a considerable margin the largest continent in the world, and is rich in natural resources, such as Petroleum and iron. The boundary between Asia and Europe runs via the Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmara, the Bosphorus, to the Black Sea, the Caucasus Mountains, the Caspian Sea, the Ural River to its source, and the Ural Mountains to the Kara Sea at Kara, Russia. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Asia

Anatolia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In 1915-20 Asia Minor was divided in 15 vilayets, one sanjak and one mutersaflik of the vilayet of Constantinople (both being on the asiatic side of the Bosporus). Asia Minor lies east of the Bosporus, between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. Based on French census files of 1915 the total population of Asia Minor (not including Eastern Thrace, the vilayets of the orient and the city of Constantinople) was 10,372,411 persons of all nationalities and religions. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Asia_Minor

7. Asia Minor, c. 3000-333 B.C.E. 2001. The Encyclopedia of World History Asia Minor, or Anatolia, is a peninsula stretching westward from the Armenian mountains to the Aegean Sea, with the Black Sea to the north and the Mediterranean to the south. It was the most populous region of ancient western Asia, with a population of some 3 million through the Bronze Age. In its western part was Phrygia; in the center, south of the great Salt Lake (Tuz Göl), was the fertile Konya plain; and to the east of the Halys river was Hatti, the center of the Hittite Empire. www.bartleby.com /67/111.html

ASIA MINOR in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE (Bible History Online) Asia Minor (as the country was called to distinguish it from the continent of Asia), or Anatolia, is the name given to the peninsula which reaches out between the Black Sea (Pontus Euxinus) on the North and the Mediterranean on the South, forming an elevated land-bridge between central Asia and southeastern Europe. Asia Minor in its geographical structure as well as in its population, has been throughout history the meeting-place, whether for peaceful intermixture or for the clash in war, of the eternally contrasted systems of East and West. The influence of the church on Asia Minor in the early centuries of the Empire may be judged from the fact that scarcely a trace of the Mithraic religion, the principal competitor of Christianity, has been found in the whole country. www.bible-history.com /isbe/A/ASIA+MINOR

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Asia Minor Asia Minor, in which both the senate and the emperor exercised, in theory at least, a co-ordinate jurisdiction until the end of the third century, was too contented and loyal to call for other troops than were necessary for protection from the foreign enemy, or to repress brigandage. Internal reform of the Christian Church was first undertaken from Asia Minor, where Montanus, a native of Phrygia, began the rigorist movement known as Montanism, and denounced the growing laxity of Christian life and the moral apathy of the religious chiefs of the society. Asia Minor was the principal scene of the labours of St. John; he wrote his Apocalypse on the desolate island of Patmos, and his Gospel probably at Ephesus. www.newadvent.org /cathen/01782a.htm

Von Gutschmid believes that there was a dispersion of Jews in Asia Minor in the middle of the fourth century But this number is possibly ten times too large; for, among nearly 20,000 Greek inscriptions found in Asia Minor, scarcely twenty can be attributed doubtless to Jews. www.jewishencyclopedia.com /view.jsp?artid=2010&letter=A

Protest Greek Government's Denial of Asia Minor Genocide This detente was interrupted in 1955 by a decade of anti-Greek pogroms that drove out the remaining remnants of Asia Minor's ancient Greek community, and which in turn were followed by the ethnic cleansing of northern Cyprus' Greek and Armenian populations during Turkey's infamous 1974 invasion of that island-nation. Greece's current administration is planning to remove references to the word "genocide" from a parliamentary law already in existence that recognizes the genocide of Asia Minor's Greek communities by the Turkish state during the early part of the 20th Century. The downplaying of the genocide of Asia Minor's Greek population became official state policy following the collective shame that gripped Greece as a result of its catastrophic attempt to emancipate Asia Minor's indigenous Greek population, and as a result of Greece's ensuing detente with Turkey. www.ahmp.org /gkgen.html

Pottery Of Asia Minor (2247 B.C.) To the collector the ceramic wares of Asia Minor are valuable on two accounts: first, their great antiquity and consequent historic interest, second, the intimate connection of this locality with Persia, which country became the medium for the introduction of ceramic art into Christian territory. This ewer, purchased in Asia, was probably made either at Smyrna or Rhodes. The ancient city of Smyrna has probably been engaged for a greater length of time in the manufacture of pottery than any other locality on the face of the globe, her pottery is first and last among the present examples. www.oldandsold.com /articles04/pottery7.shtml

In Memory Of The 50 Million Victims Of The Orthodox Christian Holocaust The native inhabitants of Asia Minor, among the first to accept the message of Christianity, were later to be persecuted and uprooted from their lands because of that same faith. In 1923, the entire Orthodox population of Asia Minor was forced to leave their homes, bringing to a close a 2000 year Christian presence. The migration of Greek tribes to Asia Minor began just before 2,000 BC and the Greeks built dozens of cities such as Smyrna, Phocaea, Pergamon, Ephesus and Byzantium (Constantinople). www.serfes.org /orthodox/memoryof.htm

Asia, Mysia In 281 B.C. when Lysimachus, who had appropriated Western Asia Minor as a successor of Alexander the Great, was defeated by Seleucus of Syria, Philataerus whom he had appointed to direct his fortress perched on the rocky terrain over the Caicus Valley seized his chance to secure the fortress for himself. Under Attalid rule, Zeus and Asclepius were worshipped, and in 29 BC Augustus allowed the Pergamenes to build a temple in his honor which became the center for his worship in Asia Minor. Pergamum passed from a kingdom to the Roman province of Mysia then to the province of Asia before it was deemed a democracy under the hegemony of the Roman Empire, but its culture never failed to thrive, surviving every upheaval. www.usd.edu /~clehmann/pir/asiamysi.htm

Asia - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia A Roman province embracing the greater part of western Asia Minor, including the older countries of Mysia, Lydia, Caria, and a part of Phrygia, also several of the independent coast cities, the Troad, and apparently the islands of Lesbos, Samos, Patmos, Cos and others near the Asia Minor coast (Acts 16:6; 19:10,27). Its history previous to 133 BC coincides with that of Asia Minor of which it was a part.

Eastern Asia Minor and the Caucasus in Ancient Mythologies, Armenian mythology Because of its favorable cool climate, eastern Asia Minor was home to prized varieties of hardwood trees essential for building, trees which did not grow in the hotter Mesopotamian lands to the south (6). Whatever the validity of the diffusionist hypotheses, the features of ancient Asia Minor and the Caucasus mentioned above: volcanic activity, dense forests, botanical and biological diversity, and metallurgical advances are clearly reflected in the myths referring or alluding to this area. [1] References to eastern Asia Minor and the Caucasus appear in the most ancient extant myths of humanity. rbedrosian.com /mythint.htm
