OLDEST CITY IN THE WORLD
History Of Smyrna May Go Back to
the Unrecorded Ages Before
5000 3. c.

Smyrna. one of the seven cities OF

"One of the most ancient cities on
the globe. 1t has no antiquity con
taining all nationalities, II has no ma.
lionality: It is an Asiatic city with a
European face; 1t produces nothing
1t exchanges everything.
The Aeolians preceded the Greeks,
who made 1t an eastern center of early
culture. 1t had declined and all hut
fallen when Alexander, after taking
Sardis, released it from the yoke of
gestion said to have come to him in o
dream. decided to restore 1t. 1t also
fell under Roman. Mongol and finally
Turkish domination.
1t was under the Lydians that II
was split into II series of communities
which effectively tied its political and
military hands. so that 1t cut little fig

1t is one of the seven cities that lays

the older Smyrna seems very well
founded, because the Meles river, with
Its cave near by that formed the

The apparatus includes 4S hydro

The depth Of the water is ascertained
