The main reason that we sought to visit Berlin was to see the many antiquities in her museums. All over west Asia (f/k/a the Middle East ) one will find references to ancient monuments and artifacts that are not in the locations they were discovered, but are in Berlin (or the British Museum). For example, this altar, after which the Pergamon Museum is named, was found in Bergasa, Turkey. It was taken by the Germans to Berlin to preserve it, and well they did.
