Sivas museum

view map

The museum's main attraction is that it houses the original (class)room where a congress was held on 4 September 1919 in the local high school. It has some other stuff of minor importance (like some woodwork, for instance a minber (pulpit) from the Divrigi Kale Mosque from the thirteenth century).

In the Amasya Circular (signed by Atatürk, members of his staff and for instance Bele Refet, commander of the Turkish forces) the need for a "national body" had been expressed. A national congress in Sivas was announced, and invited three delegates from every administrative district to travel to Sivas in secret. The Eastern provinces had earlier convened at the Erzurum congress on the tenth of July. The rest you can look up yourself in Andrew Mango’s biography of Atatürk or another source.

This is an ethnographic display.

Dear Dick Ossmann
I am highly impressed by your pictures as if onelooks close, then one can see the real understanding about the eternal silk road of Persia & kashmirs carpet connection. of the Hamadanfamily as well as the close initiation into the real living paw-throne iniciation which came by the masters & their words to the world originally. The true shiva Siva cultus is within man as the thomaYoga/or agni Yoga of living and breathin good, to be learned and educated to man. which is first living banking system of lifeforce energy. First commerce to be traded every other handicraft is to becalled secundairy commerce and economy.
My thanks and regards to your work and research so far.
Is there any possibility to meet you?
Where are you located?
Love
Jutta
