Ancomah (Antzomakh, Antzimah) is a mythological place which was first mentioned by Hasan Umur in the 1940s, approximately fifty meters inland near Trabzon, Turkey. It is a place on the lower slopes of a mountain. According to the story Ancomah had been a very rich city before the Bosporus appeared. With the existence of the Bosporus the relationship between the city and the sea disappeared and the city was destroyed. According to the people (Their language Of dialect of Pontic Greek. It’s a Mediaval dialect still spoken by Muslims in Trebizond with some features of Antique Greek) who live in Baltaci River, the city was near the sea so the iron rings which were used to tie the ships can be seen,but no one has seen them yet. One of Umur’s friends who lives in Divran, the closest town to Ancomach, tallks about extraordinary features of the city. “we hear from our grands that there was a town. People would use special iron pipes to pour needed milk from the plateaus”. Today there is a small lake about 30 metres wide and the people believe that there is a fortune under the water. When the city became far away from the sea the king understood that the city had no value anymore. He had a big hole dug near the river, placed his valuable goods and then poured wax on it. After the wax became rigid he created a small lake by pouring water using a secret water way.
