We visited Bergama yesterday for the third time. It has a nicer acropolis than Athens.

However, declaring himself as the protector of art, Attalos, the king of Bergama, founded a library in Bergama. As a result of this "library war" the Egyptians banned the export of papyrus to Bergama. Upon this, the people of Bergama processed goat leather and produced a more durable, practical and advanced paper type than papyrus. They named the paper "parchment" after the city's name then, Pergamon.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E7E91C52-DAD7-4B9E-B66C-471A04E991A5/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
