History[edit | edit source]
1st century BC[edit | edit source]
In the 1st century BC, the capital of the civilization moved to the Bosporus, where in a strategically advantageous location the narrowest part of the Bosporus emerged a city of Yoros, approximately 30 kilometres north of modern Istanbul. It is here that the imposing ruins of this city and a fortress called Yoros survive to this day.
3rd century AC[edit | edit source]
The capital of the civilization moved slightly south from Yoros, where a new city emerged under the same name of Jerusalem. Over the course of time it was called Constantinople, and later Istanbul.
