About One of the oldest remainings in Istanbul, The Snake Pillar was made by Ancient Greeks, who defeated the Persian in the fifth century B.C.
The Snake Pillar, which was brought to Istanbul from Delphi by Constantine the Great, is one of the oldest monuments from the Hellenistic period.
The pillar is made from twenty-nine coils, and has three snakes grasping one another on its top. According to a superstition, the pillar acts to keep animals such as scorpions, centipedes and snakes away from the city.

But that might be better too, for now......
And no, we never ever met, he is living about 4 hours away from here, but as I understood, he was born in my town and lived there his childhood...poor him:)))

You can ask anything you like my dear,
