Cukurova in southern Anatolia, the place where the heroes are grown. Folk tales and singers such as Karacaoğlan Dadaloğlu rise from here her voice, here enstehen the forecasts, here are the heroes geungen songs. If a book is Cukurova, Adana is the word in this book. Cukurova has developed through the centuries excelled and his final stone is Adana. Adana is the Çukurova color, whose story ...


The historian let us know Adanus Adana had founded, so the name originated. In fact, reads the name Adanas in the texts from hettitischer time as Adania. Adanus Who is this? For some he is the son of God Uranus. With his brother Sarus he fights against the Tarser. This war lasts years. Finally Adanus founded a city and gives it its own name. The name of the river remains Sarus Seyran.


Adana is the place where the Straits of Külek herführende track with the main road south herführenden cuts, so it was the scene of several historical events and in the wake of these events, erstanden sagas and epics.


Im saying there is the following rhyme: "Adana will be sent to the flood, wind and Ceyhan on Misis to the snakes disappear." Through the centuries, the river Seyhan often taken on the shore and has threatened Adana. Ceyhan was at that time a small city, whose houses made of clay and reed were built. Whenever the wind blew, he bließ these houses look like matches. What Misis, so there is a legend and goes like this:


Once infected the Prince of Misis an incurable disease. The medicines prepared to show no effect. One day, a doctor. The says: "Do not Müht vain. Cure the disease of the Prince of Padischah the eyes of the snakes, Sahmaran come. But snake lived in the castle. We need him, his eyes ausstechen and the prince to drink. "


The Misiser to their very dear lord, attacked the castle, and capture the Sahmaran sting his eyes. The prince and genest they drink from his illness. The snakes, which are now without a guide, will one day be together Misis attack and revenge. This belief is the people of the area now live in fear.


In fact, is at the top of a small mountain, a castle that is the people "snake-castle". After another unverbürgten message as the ancestor of all doctors throughout the world and considered the father of medicine, known Lokman Hekim in Çukurova and has lived his medicines from the plants is growing here. Each plant told the Lokman Hekim, for what ailment it was healing. One day said to him the plant, before the death preserved. Just as Lokman Hekim wanted to write this was a wind, the magazine took him out of the hands and threw it into the river Seyhan. The booklet and the plant lost an appeal against the death has been unable to find.


Are we talking about Adana, we already have the mythology enter the city. Take the thread from here and we browse a little in the pages of the saga of the conquest Adanas.Wie you know, the Anatolian Seljuk Chen Oguzturken the tribes of the tent for tent from Central Asia einwanderten in their Grenzmarken settled. With the three hundred tents to stem the immigrant Anatolia Ramazanoglu they were in the southern area Killikien settled. After the Ramazanoğlu a little umhergewandert were there, make it the slopes of Mount Çaldağı in the east Aadanas to their homeland.


One day, the son of the governor byzantischen to Adana on hunting. With a "Pirr" the hawk flies from his arm and rising into the air. The governor's son pursued the hawks on horseback. Finally, the falcon flies to the tents of the tribe of Ramazanoğlu, and locks on one of the yurts. The son of the governor rides to the yurt on which the falcon is established. Just because a girl is out beautiful as a piece of moon, like a slim Baumspross and it captures the falcons. The governor's son goes by the mind. Such beauty, he has never seen. He asked for her name and it is clear it is the daughter of the tribal prince.


After he arrived in Adana, thinks he found only at the girl. His thoughts are filled with ill-fated love. Finally, he complains suffering his father. As much as the governor tries his love auszureden tries, the son does not. At the end they decide on the tribal prince to go for the hand of the girl stop. But the Ramazanoğlu say:


-- We are Muslims. We give no Ungläubiegen girls. Says he, and that is it. It is almost to the fight. The enemies are many, the Turks only a handful of men. You think to, consider and prepare a trap. They say:


-- Well, we'll give you the girl. Aaber we have a condition. On Çaldağı will celebrate a wedding, as they have not seen before. Mat, the drums beat, we will slaughter lambs. The wine must flow in streams, so wedding mood arises. We hope that the royal wedding so our focus is, as its credit is due ...


A few days later to begin the celebrations. The governor, his aides and guards sene attend the wedding. He entertained the Ramazanoğul, as it has not yet seen, it means they eat and drink. In the wine barrels attention. Against midnight, the Byzantines sturzbetrunken. As they captivated all together, entkleidet them. The heroes of Ramazanoğlu pull these clothes, and as the day heranbricht, they send a message to Adana:


-- Your governor returns with the Brautzug back into the city. All it will be outside the city received.


Quite Adana is on his feet and is on the way. When the Brautzug approaches, überfällt part of a Turkish hero in the clothes of the guard of the enemy Contrary to them coming, the other department seeps into the city and besieged the palace, the arrival of the bride. A few hours later, in the hands of Adana Ramazanoğulları.


Ramazanoğlu the bell away from the big church in the city and leaves from there the first prayer sounds. Since that day Adana is from now on and forever hostel and eyeball Turkishness. The saga of the conquest Adanas starts on the wings of a falcon, but it is not finished, she writes endless heroes songs in the annals of history.
