Turkey has seen many civilizations beginning from the earliest ages of humanity, signs of which are spread all around the country. The spectular examples of natural wonders support this rich cultural heritage. Besides the incredible diversity of nature, culture, history Turkey hosts many beliefs, philosopy and ideas. When one thinks about this irreplaceable and incomparable civilizations and nature of Turkey, he can see that this huge possesion is not throughly reflected in the world heritage list. Turkey having ratified the World Heritage Convention, 7 cultural and 2 mixed properties are inscribed in the world heritage list. In 1999 a dossier for nomination of Ephesus was sent to the World Heritage Center. We look forward for assesment of our dossier and expect the visits of experts for evaluation of Ephesus as a world herigate. There is only Karain Cave left in our current tentative list. The works for preparing the dossier for nomination of Karain is ongoing. Karain is outstanding because of the evidence it provides for early human settlement in Asia Minor, is an unique example of prehistory. As soon as the dossier is completed it will be sent to the World Heritage Center for nomination.
