Data requested[edit]

Can somebody insert the height of the pass the road inclination the length of the ascend and descend? These data should be somewhere available. Corresponding data should also be given for the Cilician Gates.

Clarification[edit]

There seem to be two Amanus Passes, the northern and the southern. The Belen Pass appears to be the southern one, while the Amanides Pylae where Darius crossed the mountains, seems to have been the northern one. There was also apparently an "Amanides Pylae" on the water. All this from the Smith Dictionary. --Macrakis (talk) 22:41, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ah! There is already an article on the Amanian Gate. I will add a cross-reference. --Macrakis (talk) 22:44, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
