Alexander the Great acceded as the great Emperor of Macedonia in the year 336 B.C. at the age of only 20 when his father, Philip of Macedonia, was assassinated.

Great success and fame came to him only 3 years after that when he started his famous journey to Asia Minor and defeated the Persians at the battle of the Granicus. Alexander passed away on June 10th, 323 BC, at the age of 32 in Babylon.

The aim of this tour is to explore the route that Alexander followed within the first 2 years of his journey through Anatolia.

I John, your brother, who share with you in Jesus the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance, was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet saying: -Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergammum, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.

Paul of Tarsus was, together with Simon Peter, the most notable of Early Christian missionaries.

Unlike the Twelve Apostles, Paul did not know Jesus in life; he came to faith through a vision of the resurrected Jesus and stressed that his apostolic authority was based on his vision.

As he wrote, he "received it [the Gospel] by revelation from Jesus Christ".

But No Man's Land is a goblin sight
When patrols crawl over at dead o night;
Boche or British, Belgian or French,
You dice with death when you cross the trench

James H. Knight-Adkin - No Man s Land

For many people Gallipoli epitomises the agony and frustration of the First World War. It began on 25 April 1915 - known ever since as Anzac Day - to help the Royal Navy force its way through the Dardanelles.

It ended nine months later in bloody failure, with every attempt to move forward defeated by the still resolute Turkish defenders. Intractably locked in trench warfare, the Allies were forced to evacuate in January 1916 having suffered over 250,000 casualties including 46,000 dead.
