Foca is one of the most beautiful towns of the Aegean. Is the symbol Mediterranean seal? Gal Rooster? It is an issue that has been discussed for years. Although the people of the Foca symbolized their cities with the cute Mediterranean seals, which are now in danger of extinction, the symbol of the old Foca.
The symbol of France, the “Rooster”, is going from Foca. Like the Turkish people who do not know the history correctly, the French do not accept this, but historical records do not say so.
Hundreds of years ago, the known name of Foca (Phokaia), the Phokaialılar, the old inhabitants of Foca, put the rooster statues in their assemblies, temples and noses of their ships. The symbol of the Phokaialis is roezed. The symbol of the resurrection and the early awakening of the rooster!
BC. The first half of the century witnessed the inevitable spread of Persians. The Persian armies, where no army could stand in front of him, besieged Phokaia. The city was previously surrounded by 18-20 meters walls, but no walls were strong enough to stop the Persians. When the fighters realized that they could not show any more resistance, they asked the Persian king for one night to surrender. Harpagos, the King of Persian Harpagos, accepted it, and when the night was over and in the morning there was no sound. When the Persians entered the city, they could not find a single creature other than a scabies. The Phokiaians who chose to remain homeless rather than a slave were loaded their valuables from the tunnels under the city to the ships and had already switched to the sea.
They reached a group of French coasts, Marseille. This journey with shovel ships was also a rooster symbol in front of each ship. The Phokaialers, who are Yaman sailors, have reached many places with these ships, which can buy 500 rowing 500 passengers and established port cities and settlements. It was founded by today's Marseille Phokaialılar. This city and port you live in the port building in the port of Marseille. It was founded in 600 by the Phokaialılar. In this way, the symbol of the rooster moved from Foça to France. With their fast ships, the Phokiaians who ran from the harbor to the harbor also carried the culture. Together with France, they spread olives on many shores of the Mediterranean.
The spread of the Gal Rooster symbol to the whole France was after the French Revolution in 1789. During the revolution, the Foçalılar living in Marseille carried the flags with the flags with a rooster picture on them and they sang marches. In the meantime, the revolutionaries who liked the symbols of rooster on the flags, chose this as a symbol to them. The symbol of the rooster, which means resurrection, awakening, power and spread for the former Fochians, thus became the symbol of France.
