History of Tarsus American College

TAC_diploma

I have been recently working on the information about my school in Wikipedia. Even though I have came to an end with my high school life, the journey of Tarsus American College has just begun for me since the taste of its traditions and spirit flourishes with graduation and never ends. I have been reading about school’s history for a long time and now that I am graduating from high school, I believe that this is the time for me to share some authentic facts and unique documents about my school which has a history of 122 years, Tarsus American College in Turkey.

How could an earthquake change the direction of history just in a night?

Historians mentioned that it was built up 3,800 years ago, before the Maya civilization. Lost city Coral was the most magnificent city of the South America and was located on the coast of Peru, on the north of the capital Lima. Besides, this city vanished just in a night because of an earthquake.

The pyramids found in this city, especially the biggest named “Piramide Mayor”, attracted the historians’ attention for a long time. Historians said, “If that earthquake didn’t happen, the Maya civilization could not exist and the existent civilization would develop. Now, we can see how an earthquake changed the history just in a night.”

Now that a city built up before the Maya civilization, the lost city Coral, has been found, I wonder how many lost cities are there that are waiting for historians to be discovered.

P.S. You can find some rests and animations from the lost city Coral in the gallery below.
