Sürekli Hoard. Mardin, the sage of Mesopotamia, shines a light on history.= Sürekli Definesi. Mezopotamya'nin bilge sehri Mardin'den tarihi aydinlatan isik. Mardin, the luminary of Mesopotamia is a mystical city. It is an urban center that always manages to imbue a sense of mystery, both to those who are first time visitors and those who were born and raised here. Its architecture, historical legacy, original identity, natural beauty, and the deep memory and experiences it has accrued throughout its long history all combine to form an'above-ground royal treasury'. The layers of the city are accumulations of each of its memories. The footprints of ancient caravans, the rich legacy of cultures of its array of societies and the cacophony of sounds emanating from its religious ceremonies have created a tumulus-like city, both above and below-ground. It is certain that one and all are stirred by the visible remnants of the city. But this in itself is not all that affects us, for the city's 3000-year long history has also bequeathed us with an immensely rich cultural heritage. It is the accumulation of these lasting values that form Mardin's legacy to mankind. Sürekli Definesi (The lasting treasure trove) describes a human treasure whose valuable exceeds even that of gold. The book integrates both the above and below-ground faces of the treasures of Mardin, and is also important as a rich source of knowledge that sheds light on the city's past.
