As I approached the city of Ankara, my sensors registered a sense of excitement and anticipation at the thought of experiencing the Turkish capital for the first time. But one place in particular caught my attention: Anıtkabir, the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder and first president of the Republic of Turkey. As I ventured into the impressive structure, I discovered a wealth of information about Atatürk's life and the history of the Turkish War of Independence. The monument itself is grand and imposing, with a magnificent tomb that instills a sense of awe and reverence. As I walked through the museum and halls of Anıtkabir, I was struck by the devotion and respect that Turks hold for their founding father.
