Amasya has traces in Do\u011fantepe H\u00f6y\u00fck that go as far back as to the latter period of the Late Neolithic Age and, as \u015eevket D\u00f6nmez notes in his article, \u201cAmasya is one of the rare Anatolian cities to have kept its name (Amasea, Amaseia, Amasseia, Amaseia Hadriane, Amaseia Severiane Antoniane, Amaseia Severeia Alexandreia) almost intact from time immemorial. Amasya is on the Ye\u015fil\u0131rmak River that in Hittite texts is named \u2018Kumme\u015fmaha\u2019 and in the classical era was called ‘Iris\u2019. The Ye\u015filirmak flows from west to east along the long narrow channel it carves in the limestone and travertine rocks. Towering immediately north of the river is Mount Har\u015fena where the city\u2019s castle is built.\u201dIt is a common belief that the love of Ferhat and \u015eirin found a home in Amasya. In his article \u015eevket D\u00f6nmez remarks that, \u201cthe Anatolian version of the epic love story of Princess \u015eirin and Ferhad -\u015eirin being the sister of Queen Mahmene Banu, Azerbaijan\u2019s ruler of the city of Erzen; Ferhad being the region\u2019s famous craftsman- is set in Amasya where it has left a mark on the town\u2019s historical topography and archaeology. The two simple graves side by side on Mount Ferhad today have been attributed to Ferhad and \u015eirin, illustrating how contemporary and popular the story is.\u201d Amasya, Maid of the Mountains, is about the cultural heritage of a city that has been the cradle rich in popular culture and belief systems. \u015eevket D\u00f6nmez looks at the city as an antique settlement and portrays Pontic Cappadocia in his article about Oluz H\u00f6y\u00fck. E. Emine Naza D\u00f6nmez emphasizes the importance of Har\u015fena Castle and K\u0131zlar Saray\u0131 for the city and she also focuses on the architecture in the Turkish Period. Muzaffer Do\u011fanba\u015f describes the woodcraft in the region, and also the belief systems and sacred buildings. \u0130. Hakk\u0131 G\u00f6zta\u015f scrutinizes the historical development of the city and its secular architecture.The photographers Ali Konyal\u0131 and Tarkan Kutlu held a mirror to the city of Amasya in this monograph prepared by Filiz \u00d6zdem. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
