The silent wilderness speaks: the long history of Gallipoli and the Dardanelles

当查尔斯·比恩以他的古典教育写关于加里波利的时候，他把它想象在三千年战争和人类生活的背景下。比恩的历史眼光已经丧失。作为国家记忆和朝圣圣地，加里波里对澳大利亚人来说变得越来越重要，但1915年的事件存在于泡沫中，与孕育它们的历史景观脱节。我们将把加里波利和达达尼尔群岛的悠久历史回馈给澳大利亚人，把澳大利亚历史的一个关键部分置于其真实的地理背景中：一个数千年来一直生活在其中并经常为之而战的地区。鉴于加里波利的重要性，该项目还将加强澳大利亚和土耳其的关系。

When Charles Bean, with his Classical education, wrote about Gallipoli, he imagined it in the context of three millennia of wars and human lives. Bean's historical vision has been lost. Gallipoli has become increasingly important to Australians as a site of national memory and pilgrimage, yet the events of 1915 exist in a bubble, divorced from the historical landscape that spawned them. We will give back to Australians the long history of Gallipoli and the Dardanelles, placing a key part of Australia's history in its true geographical context: an area which has been lived in and regularly fought over for thousands of years. Given the significance attached to Gallipoli, the project will also enhance Australian-Turkish relations.
