7.  Human settlement in the area goes back to 8000 BCE, before the actual site
was occupied.
 Sagalassos was one of the wealthiest cities in Pisidia when Alexander the
Great conquered it in 333 BCE on his way to Persia. It had a population of a few
thousand.
 After some time following Alexander's death, The Roman Empire absorbed
Pisidia. After some wars, earthquakes and Arab raids, the site was abandoned.
Sagalassos disappeared from the records.
 Explorer Paul Lucas, who was traveling in Turkey on a mission for the court
of Louis XIV of France, visited the ruins in 1706. After 1824, when Francis
Vyvyan Jago Arundell(1780–1846), the British chaplain at Izmir and an
antiquary, visited the site and deciphered its name in inscriptions,[1] Western
travelers begun to visit the ruins. Polish historian of art, count K.
Lanckoroński produced the first map of Sagalassos. However, the city did not
attract much archaeological attention until 1985, when an Anglo-Belgian team
led by Stephen Mitchell begun a major survey of the site. Today, lots of visters
come to see Sagalassos from all over the world although the research hasn’t
finished yet.
