Today's traveler walk through physical ruins of past civilizations, of past empires, whether it be the Byzantine or the Ottoman empires and others. These empires left their 'carcasses' strewn all over the world. And I have a great time visiting and learning about them. It's an incredible pastime.Sometimes they leave writing which illuminates their states of mind and that can be enlightening. Where no written record is left, the modern traveler is left to conjecturing what was.
