Anatolia and the Agean is where there were historical warning beacons.
> Homer mentions fire beacons in the Illiad as well:
>> Thus, from some far-away beleaguered island, where all day long the men have fought a desperate battle from their city walls, the smoke goes up to heaven; but no sooner has the sun gone down than the light from the line of beacons blazes up and shoots into the sky to warn the neighboring islanders and bring them to the rescue in their ships.
> Aeschylus, in his play Agamemnon described a line of fire beacons stretching all the way from Troy to Mycenae, including the exact locations of all 10 beacons. The historian Volker Aschoff plotted them on a map and verified that there was a clear line of sight between adjacent beacons. He calculated that if you set fire to a stack of wood about 20 feet high, it would be bright enough to be visible across the biggest gap (between Athos and Macistus). Smaller gaps would require considerably less wood.
