| The construction of a huge mausoleum similar to the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, was started on the summit of Anittepe, 6 years after his death in 1944 and finished in 9 years. On November 10, 1953 Ataturk was moved there in a gun carriage, from his previous grave at the Museum of Ethnography. The Mausoleum was believed to represent the Turkish Nation under the name and personality of Ataturk. Therefore it included statues, inscriptions and reliefs on topics from Turkish history and Ataturk`s life. |
