Dear Friend of the Calendar Iam happy to take you today in the world of Asia Minor. I tryied to put my traveling memories and my fantasies about the tales of Sheherasade in 1001 night storys together , to create the ambience of my Tomb Raider level. Hoe does this fit with advent? Todays german Nikolaus ( comes on 6th of December and brings presents) has its source in the legends about a person, who lived in the 3. JCentury a.D. There are not much sources about the historic Nikolaus from Myra. Myra is a small town located in Turky (ca. 100 km southwest from Antalya) and has been in the 4. Century home of a bishop. According diffrent traditions Nikolaus was born in Patara , a town in Lyka - Asia Minor between 270 and 286 a.D.. At 19 years old, he has been ordained to priest by his uncle, also bishop from Myra. After that he was abbot of the monastery Sion neas from Myra. Comming from a rich family, set him in the position to to help the poor and deserving. There are a couple of ancient buildings an ruins in Myra. It is said, that one is the tomb of Nikolaus . Lara came across a dokument during an investigation, point at the fact that the ancient Nikolaus of Myra was a pilgrim to Mount Ararat in Trurky, where he is maybe also buried. Because Nikolaus of Myra istn't only a legend, but also was rich, Lara decides to trace the track to the old uneffected sultanate in the mountains of the border region of Türky, Iran and Irak . Thanks to her relationships she managed to get in touch with the decendents and owners of the land with the old sultanate palace. She get the permission to investigate. Until now her investigation were to controlled by the sultans guards. Short time after the dusk she decides to sneak off her guestroom to seek undisturbed after some indices.
