I actually saw the solar eclipse in 2006 in Side. edit - I should point out for US viewers, it is effectively the same eclipse you will get to see on April 8th this year, because it is one saros cycle after which the earth, sun and moon return to almost the same geometry, after 223 lunar cycles, in 18 years and 10-12 days and 8 hours. Because of that 8 hours, the path of the eclipse is shifted about a third of the way around the world.
One of my favorites here. Beautiful. I'm incredibly terrible with Geography but all these sites,I'm wondering their proximity to here or there.i may need to get one of those floating globes! Also thank you for sharing "wild earth"or the conservation folks you shared info about .ok you ended up choosing the right field of work after all Dr.David. You are a fantastic teacher! Thanks so much!
Lybre is one of my favorite places to explore! However, Side is just a few minutes walk from our place and always offers incredible changes in how the past is preserved as the future is built around and on top of it. One of my favorite places to explore in Side is one that is not well-known or worked on, the Eastern Wall. Thanks for showing me my home away from home!
I wish more nations would make digital renderings of all the ruins to bring them back to life. Let you take your avatar around them to speak to others would be cool.
The Maya could fit into 'ancient' but Aztecs and Incas are really just 'old' being 12th to 16th centuries. So late medieval into renaisance and early modern in terms of European history.
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. These are parts of the Roman Empire that I knew must exist but had never heard of. My interest has always been on Rome itself and the western empire. Looking forward to the next episode.
There is a very prominent Roman papal aristocratic dynasty called the Pamphilij who own many stunning palaces in Rome in particular the Palazzo Doria Pamphili that has a stunning gallery that rivals the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles and is a major Rome artistic attraction. I have often wondered if they have any connection to the ancient Asia Minor coastal region of Pamphylia?
That's interesting, seems quite likely as there were occasional provincial families who made it into the equestrian and senatorial classes. Later emperors were often not Italian
@@golddragonette7795 With these families we are talking about relatively recent times of course but some did claim they were descended from prominent ancient Roman families. Saw a program not that long ago about actress brook Shields who is descended from one of these "modern" Roman noble families - the Torlonias who are of French origin and they too own palaces in Rome including the Torlonia palace which the dictator Mussolini lived in during his rule. Another similar palace is owned by an American lady who is the widow of a Roman prince and she is trying to sell it for a vast price as it has paintings in it by prominent renaissance artists.
You drive on the same side of the car and the rode as in U.S. That’s nice to know. I can’t imagine how you and Tess afford these travels and to afford Interpreters. You have seen the most amazing places that some of us only DREAM about. Thank You for sharing so much!!!
The geography reminds me a lot of the mountainous areas of the Desert Southwest in the United States. This travel route is something, I could sort of replicate on many two-lane roads... Makes me identify with the folks who live there, even though I will never be able to visit there.
I shudder to imagine the long term algorithmic effects of my impending inquiry into camel wrestling… but the toll on my unindulged curiosity would be far worse.
for a moment there i thought you said they were called "norks" which really pulled my attention , being a red blooded man, but that was ruined by subtitles so Yoruk it is. also- love a map or city diagram you can leave them on a bit longer, or not ,i can pause . thanks for another vid ,very interesting.
^Definitely check out that section (towards the end, if I remember right) of that video. It shows quite a good selection of features, with good context.
Rural folks, all over the ball that we call Earth... have a lot in common. -- I suppose, we *all* have a lot more in common, than we are told about our differences.
I was wondering if anyone was ever going to cover this. Michael Wood was the last and that was in 1989 I'm gunna guess, you filmed this last August. I know Anatolia best in August and September...this looks like August. Were the abundant figs ripe yet? I love exploring ruined cities for the abundance of figs
This is a post-ancient city. Very interesting, but not ancient. I think 'Ancient' should refer to pre-Thera. Everything changed after Thera erupted circa 1450BC. Ancient cultures collapsed, post-Ancient cultures appeared from the tormoil. Some Ancient cultures survived and continued (notably Egypt and China), but most were negatively affected by the climatic changes, due to the eruption, and disappeared into cultural oblivion. Some of these societies are now the subject of much debate because we only have architectural remains. I love what you do. You allow me to see what I would physically like to. David, keep asking the questions. Keep following the connections (links). All history is connected but it's only history if it's documented; all else is speculation, not that speculation is bad, it's just not science.
If you would like to lobby to get historians to rename past periods of time, this is your right. But for the time being, I will use the commonly-accepted names.
They changed the name of their country in 2022, so the pronunciation heard on the video is actually correct as believe it or not the reason given was to get away from the bird of the same name.
@@bryan-nz the Turkish government can pretend whatever they want, they don't have decision on the words to use in the English language! Maybe at the UN or the Olympics game or other international institutions we will say Turkiye 🦃, in English it will remain forever Turkey 🦃!
Its stupid to use non native people to talk about native ruins the ottomans came by forse and took this land by forse from the greeks and armenians fee 100 years ago they know nothing about whats its find in those lands since they are new to it
By 200 bc, everyone ( literally, everyone/100% if the population) in anatolia were totally hellenized, and so there was not such differentiation of the culture ( all were Greek s, Greek orthodox Christians. non stop, until in the first 2 decades of 20th century, when they were genocided( brutally slaughtered), or expelled out of the country in 1923 ( whoever was not asassinated yet). Almost everything you show in the video are remains of greek cities or monuments, that the invading turks destroyed. Literally everything had been through this way.
@@WorldofAntiquity no im not missing lots of history. You can’t imagine how history works! It does what it does, but it never-ever, erase what I wrote before.
Don't want to see people talk/walk/drive etc ... Don't want music . Can't you archaeologist/tour guides etc... just show us the finds/sites while you're talking/walking/driving ? I'm beginning to think you're all a bunch of hams

That's a very nice explanation 🙂
hey cool where'd you learn that?
This was awesome. I would love to visit myself one day.Very beautiful.
Ah lovely, this was uploaded just in time for me to sit down and enjoy it with a cup of coffee and an Easter egg.
Looks like you had a fantastic time.
Just accidentally came across your video/channel. So glad I did. Historic sites, commentary and local/surrounding countryside are brilliant.
Thanks, and welcome!
so happy when I see your posts. I know I will be getting facts and history that is alien and lost advanced civilization free.
I like that you show the landscape of the region and also the restaurants you stop at. Just as important as the sights you visit.
Well, Doc: You've done it again. This was a great introduction to a part of Turkiye I was unaware of. Thanks.

Hi David and Tess 👋😊
Wishing you both a very happy Easter and to all the viewers too !
Blessings 🙏 to you all ⭐
David. Another of your excellent videos!
There's so much to see in Turkey. That was very interesting.
I liked the music in this episode as well.
Side is a beautiful site to explore history. I loved the video! Can't wait for another adventure to view!
I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time and effort to share your knowledge 🙏 I really appreciate it
Thank you for the Planet Wild link, just signed up with your code. 👏
When you are talking about the aquaduct arriving at Side, the camera seems to be showing rather an interior part of the town walls as it seems.
Hi Dr l have been to Side over 5 times and every visit l never stop being overcome with joy at the history. So happy you made a video on it.

Loved the music at 5:10
I thoroughly enjoy these. Thanks!
Id love to see more videos covering the Maya, Aztec, Toltec, Inca and Warri .
Love your videos! 🪶🪶🪶🪶🪶🪶🪶🐇🐇🐇🌮
The channel Ancient Americas did great videos on some of these!

Check out Season 2.
Could you imagine what it would be like to know that almost 2k years people would be looking at your at in a museum?
This was great, as they all are, and I look forward to your next adventure!! Thank you!!❤
This is awesome- got my subscription!!
I found the Sidetic language symbols to be similar to the Rongo-Rongo symbols of Easter Island.
Side is one of my favorite places. Thank you Dr. Miano

Mustafa is a fan of the channel and came along of his own accord!
Another amazing video. My father always told me never trust a Turkish bathhouse. I’ve always wondered what happened to him in there.
I was on a tour that ended up in Istanbul. One of the other members of the tour went to a Turkish bath. He refused to talk about it afterwards.
The geography reminds me a lot of the mountainous areas of the Desert Southwest in the United States. This travel route is something, I could sort of replicate on many two-lane roads... Makes me identify with the folks who live there, even though I will never be able to visit there.
Another great video. Thanks for traveling for me 😁
Tess seems to be intent at 30:21 on getting a close-up of the finer archaeological features of this museum😇.
Super cool! Thank you.
Dr Miano - The next time you travel, take me with you, I promise to carry all the luggage!
You can come with me to Egypt in November. See below the video.
So many ancient monuments, statues etc were stolen by either German or British thieves who called themselves archeologist.
I like the fact that Side means "Pomegranate": I'm from Granada, and our town is also named after the Pomegranate.
That music slaps ❤. Also I love this country.
I shudder to imagine the long term algorithmic effects of my impending inquiry into camel wrestling… but the toll on my unindulged curiosity would be far worse.
Yep, I'm doing it as well now 😅
Tess is a very keen eye
That squishy desert in the gas station was cezeriye. It's made from carrots. It's delicious.
Thank you!
Love it. What's your experience with driving in such places?
It wasn't much different from driving in America.
What is that casemated path with arcades on the opposite side of the agora to the two storie houses that you often show?
Every episode ❤❤❤❤

Very interesting cultural experience
About those common Roman columns.... I live in Bourgogne, France, and a few of these columns are around. Amazing, the vastness of the Roman Empire.
Im too poor to travel. This is the only way ill ever see any of these places
Always fascinating and informative, but of course, my personal take-away is the girl at 26:44 and her facial expressions. 😄
Cool! 📸
I love looking at the video. Perhaps softer music would enhance the views that you are sharing
Wow, do you sound like Matthew Broderick! Great video.
Good to know
I'd love to see some of the underground cities in Turkey, like derinkuyu, that are on private property and not open to tourism.
Did you see my last video? Derinkuyu! th-cam.com/video/MhM2Biy5DNQ/w-d-xo.html
@@WorldofAntiquity I did. Great video! Such a fascinating place, I wish we could see what artifacts came out of there.

Happy Blessed Oytsters to you good Doctor!! I say,
Stupid question but I really want to travel to Turkey, is a relatively safe country to travel to?
It seemed safe to us.
I hope there has not been a lot of building material repurposing in that land as say was done in Bolivia.
We are the knights who say 18:49
We are the keepers of the sacred words: Ni, Pen, and Ni-wom!
Damn that restaurant had a whole slab of honey comb for you guys??
Yes!
Turkish Cuisine is worth of exploring
I was wondering if anyone was ever going to cover this. Michael Wood was the last and that was in 1989
I'm gunna guess, you filmed this last August. I know Anatolia best in August and September...this looks like August. Were the abundant figs ripe yet? I love exploring ruined cities for the abundance of figs
It was June. Close!
compare the greek myth of phrixus with abraham&isaac.same swap with a ram which is sacrificed in his place
I yearn to go there...
As soon as he mentioned it I started googling, everything from now on will be camel wrestling
i never heard the sadetic people. (i love Greek/Roman Mythology)
My green eyes are from #anatolia 🇦🇲
Dr M's clearly not paying enough. That poor woman can't afford a pair of trousers without holes in them!
This belongs to Thrace
Great video, but the music is unbearable.....
Had to pause 5 minutes in and look up Camel Wrestling. It is real!
The music is horrible. Otherwise it seems like an interesting topic.
❤
More of the stone work please, less of the people, and all kind of assumptions
Been waiting on this, Dr. M. The travel guides are my favs!!
