Calciumcarbonat pieces had begun to accumulate and sediment in precambrian time (700-800 million years) and come this time. They were bonded through millions of years of heat and pressure. Definition of marble is that come out by changing its original under the influence of carbonate rocks. The change maybe development of a crystalline formation, a texture change or a colour change.
Heat and pressure factors were occured slowly result of accumulatation sedimentation and buriying so marble have started to travel for millions of years. CaCO3 mixture retire the structurel water under the pressure and take the stone form ( diagenez ).

Marble or comprise any rock used for ornamental purpose were entered in the human life since the unwritten history page...The first time marble were used to weapon or object by the primitive people who are not change the natural form of marble.
Neolitic time began when humankind used nature for their necessity such as buildings, shelters.

In ancient time the technological progress in stone industry such as quarrying, cutting, transfer methods, lifting and cement were simple operations.
Marble have high resistant aganist the hard aircondition, high strength and had been more quantities in nature thus had been noble material in architectural for centures. Marble is superior than the other materials because of it unneed any connection in bulding construction.


Marble with strength, elegant and potantial wealth had been construction component, indispensable art branch since hundreds of years for people. Hittites, Ancient Egyptians, Phrygians, Mesopotamia Civilisations, Persians, Lydians, Ancient Greeks, Romana Empires, Seljuks, Ottomans and other many civilisations were used to masterpiece which illuminate ancients time come until this days.
First example of marble viewed in Anatolia which called civilicitation cradle particularly marble craftmanship had lived golden age in Helenistic and Roman Empire periods, BC 1600 years Hittites had started to marble craft in Yasamek ( Gaziantep ). First schools which give marble education had established Arcaic Period in Ephesus ( BC 1050-470 ), Helenistic period ( BC 300-30 ) in Bergama, Pax Romana period ( BC 30 - AD 395 ) in Aphrodisias henceforth marblecraftmanship viewed development in Anatolia .
