Turkey, a country that connects Asia Minor and Europe, includes a variety of landforms. The Asian part of the country is called Anatolia, while the European part is called Thrace. The interior of Turkey consists of the Anatolian Plateau, bordered by the Koroglu, Pontic and Taurus mountains, and the eastern highlands.
To the north the Taurus Mountains lie between the Levant and the Anatolian plateau. To the east and southeast the Syrian desert separates it from Mesopotamia and Arabia. To the southwest the Isthmus and Gulf of Suez set the boundary between the Levant and biblical Egypt (Mazar 1990:2-3; Moore 1978). The term Levant comes from the French term lever (to rise) and its Arabic equivalent is Mashriq (the country where the sun rises). The introduction of the word came with the French Mandate of Syria and Lebanon (which lasted from 1920 until the mid-1940s).
