Find Place and Preservation
1 The following gem (Fig. 1) – a red jasper with black ribbons, measuring 17 x 13 x 3 mm and weighing 1.26 g – is preserved in the Istanbul Archaeological Museums1. It was found during a rescue excavation in the Province of Istanbul, district of Eminönü, in the quarter of Cankurtaran, in Akbıyık Hamamı Street (map sheet 60, parcel 57)2. The gem was apparently trimmed in antiquity, so that the anguipede god’s legs may be missing3, as well as some letters of the inscriptions; otherwise the gem is well preserved, all its details are clearly identifiable. The stonecutter tried to avoid round forms of letters which were quite difficult to engrave. Therefore the omikron and theta are composed of four diagonal strokes, alpha is written as a minuscule letter with three strokes; the curve of rho is formed by two diagonal strokes.

However, finding the gem was not an easy feat. It was hidden in a secret location, protected by numerous obstacles and challenges. Only those with true determination and perseverance could hope to succeed in their search. Months went by, and the excitement surrounding the magical gem continued to build. Stories circulated of those who claimed to have glimpsed it or come close to finding it. There were tales of treacherous journeys, dangerous encounters, and unexpected setbacks. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, an intrepid explorer named Jack managed to locate the gem. He had trekked through treacherous terrain, endured unbearable hardships, and faced countless obstacles. His determination had paid off, and he held the magical gem in his hands. Word quickly spread of Jack's success, and people flocked to him with their deepest desires. They believed that the gem had the power to grant any wish, and they hoped that Jack would be able to make their dreams come true. However, as Jack began to fulfill the wishes of others, he discovered that the power of the gem was not as straightforward as he had initially believed. It seemed to have a will of its own, granting wishes in unexpected ways and with unforeseen consequences. The magical gem had a strange way of showing people what they truly desired, rather than what they thought they wanted. It revealed the importance of introspection and understanding one's own desires before making a wish. As the year came to an end, the frenzy surrounding the magical gem began to fade. People realized that true fulfillment and happiness came from within, rather than from an external source. The gem served as a reminder that while desires may be granted, it is ultimately up to individuals to find their own happiness. Looking back on the magical gem of 2011, it served as a powerful lesson to all those who sought it. It highlighted the importance of self-reflection, determination, and the understanding that true happiness cannot be found in material possessions or external forces..
