Nara Burnu (original) (raw)
Nara Burnu (Turkish "Cape Nara"), formerly Nağara Burnu, in English Nagara Point, and in older sources Point Pesquies, is a headland on the Anatolian side of the Dardanelles Straits, north of Çanakkale. Due to the narrowness of the straits at this point, the site was often chosen for crossings of the Dardanelles by armies, beginning with the Achaemenid monarch Xerxes I during his Invasion of Greece in 480 BC, who deployed pontoon bridges to allow his army to cross on foot.

| dbo:abstract | Nara Burnu (Turkish "Cape Nara"), formerly Nağara Burnu, in English Nagara Point, and in older sources Point Pesquies, is a headland on the Anatolian side of the Dardanelles Straits, north of Çanakkale. It is the narrowest and, with 113 metres (371 ft), the deepest, section of the Dardanelles Strait. As a result, it is also the point where the surface current from the Black Sea to the Aegean Sea is the strongest, with 1.5 to 2 times the normal rate, occasionally reaching the speed of 5 nautical miles (9.3 km) per hour. The undercurrent is 0.5–5 nautical miles (0.93–9.26 km) per hour, flowing in the opposite direction. The ancient and medieval city of Abydos is located at the Nara promontory. Due to the narrowness of the straits at this point, the site was often chosen for crossings of the Dardanelles by armies, beginning with the Achaemenid monarch Xerxes I during his Invasion of Greece in 480 BC, who deployed pontoon bridges to allow his army to cross on foot. (en) Nara Burnu (en turc : "Cape Nara"), anciennement Nağara Burnu, en anglais Nagara Point, et dans des sources plus anciennes la Pointe Pesquies, est un promontoire du côté anatolien du détroit des Dardanelles, au nord de Çanakkale. C’est la section la plus étroite et, avec 113 mètres de fond, la plus profonde du détroit des Dardanelles. En conséquence, c’est aussi le point où le courant de surface de la mer Noire vers la mer Égée est le plus fort, avec 1,5 à 2 fois la vitesse normale, atteignant parfois la vitesse de 5 milles marins (9,3 km) par heure. Le courant de fond, s’écoulant dans la direction opposée, est de 0,5 à 5 milles marins (0,93 à 9,26 km) par heure. La ville antique et médiévale d’Abydos est située sur le promontoire de Nara. En raison de l’étroitesse des détroits à ce point, le site a souvent été choisi pour les traversées des Dardanelles par les armées, en commençant par le monarque achéménide Xerxès Ier lors de son invasion de la Grèce en 480 avant JC, qui a déployé des ponts de bateaux pour permettre à son armée de traverser à pied.
