The great Hatay earthquake 2 thousand years ago.

Antakya, the cradle of ancient civilizations, has been shaken by earthquakes many times over the centuries. While some of these earthquakes were lost in the obscurity of history, some were recorded by the authors of the period. The Antakya earthquakes, especially in 115 and 526, were among the greatest destructions that Anatolian lands had ever seen. People thought that the apocalypse was over, the wreckage could not be removed for weeks, and the winter conditions increased the death rates. Shaken by a similar earthquake in the 526 earthquake, Antakya was rebuilt many times throughout history. It has become the center of science, culture and art. Despite being destroyed many times, there were such beautiful architectural works that the name of this ancient region was known as the 'golden city'. So, what do we know about the history of Antakya, which hosts different cultures together with Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman heritage, starting with Alexander the Great? How did the Turks come to Antakya? How did the Seljuk conquests and the Crusades affect the Hatay region?
