An Amazing ANCIENT CITY You've Probably Never Heard Of

[@JdubU]

I sure appreciate the style of your location videos. Thanks for taking us along. I'm happy to be a third wheel.

[@Aeterna71]

Great video! I live in Antalya and visited most of the ancient sites you have been visiting. However i didn't see nor heard a lot about Cibyra. From now i would definitely visit it!

[@abandoninplace2751]

Mustafa is fantastic. P.S. Are you sure the door frames weren't made by giants, and the "filled-in" arched passage wasn't just made by dwarves? It was a multicultural place.

[@andyoates8392]

What a wonderful collection! Yet another museum added to the ever expanding bucket list of must visit. 🤓💚♾️

[@kevinfoster1138]

I am so happy you guys left in the part when you were getting out of the taxi for the museum. She closed the door on you with absolutely no ill intent. LOL she got out doing her lines for the start of the museum and with her other hand she just closed the door, the look on your face just before it went to a smile was hilarious 😆😂😆 OMG I actually rewound and watched again, just the little things that show us all you're just people too. I loved it!

[@MossyMozart]

Cringey post. It reminds me of when my hand was broken in a slamming car door.

We also ate in that restaurant when we went. Right in the main bit of the harbour where all the shops selling tea are

[@JayCWhiteCloud]

Additionally, which I forgot to add. In the Nymphaeum this was, most likely, a gravity-fed example of such a traditional cistern. The vertical clay pipe you noted was the “leveling siphon” for that empoundment of the cistern and the most common hidden modality to level water below a desired edge height…There may well also be a floor drain for emptying and servicing the cistern when needed…

[@WorldofAntiquity]

Ah, so it was a siphon!

[@JayCWhiteCloud]

@@WorldofAntiquity I'm about 90% sure. I have not been to that one. Perhaps a better term would be "over flow," but without seeing the original we don't know what other water elements it may well have serviced before final discharge. One of my dearst friends grew up in that region and I look forward to returning someday, perhaps to do some historic restoration work on the many period timber and stone architecture there...Thanks again for a great channel!!!

[@2MuchPurple]

I really enjoyed this video, you are very knowledgable about the places you visit! I traveled a lot in my younger years, but at this point probably couldnt handle all the walking and climbing in the heat. And Ive loved ancient history since i was very young back in the 60s, when movies like Ben Hur and Cleopatra, etc, made a big impression on me. 🌺

[@cattymajiv]

Antalya sounds like Anatolia, the big part of Turkiye where it Antalya sits. Thanks David! I've always badly wanted to see Turkiye! There are more wonderful and diverse things there than in any other place on earth, so I love hearing you describe them! Your travel videos are the best on KZbin, IMHO. ❤

[@TT3TT3]

Really nice! Thanks!🎉

[@wardafournello]

Antalya, a Greek city, was founded by Attalus II, king of Pergamum in the 2nd century BC. All the works of art and buildings made by Greek artists and architects, until the Ottoman conquest and the conversion of the population to Islam. Showing the Greek inscriptions in the ancient Greek theater of Kibyra, various ethnicities of the region are mentioned who probably never watched the ancient Greek plays that were staged in the theater.

[@Tabletsculptingtips]

I've been really impressed by the quality of the museums.

[@sinecure45]

I was looking forward to a segment on Lykia, which I visited in the 90s. I hope we get a good look at Xanthos and Patara.

[@edgarsnake2857]

It would be cool if they make a set of map pieces for every 100 year time period or so going back throughout our known history

[@scottiesrockmaggie6279]

We hosted an exchange student from Germany of Islamic Turkish descent. When my daughter went to Germany in her turn, she stayed with an Islamic Turkish family. They were thrilled with her strawberry blonde hair, blue eyes, and very fair skin. The mother sent a set of nazar Turkish coffee glasses as a gift for me.

[@gerardtrigo380]

A lot of the hand tools are not that different from ones on sale today at your local hardware store or online. Useful designs that have not had a reason to be changed in millennia.

[@tolotolo2380]

Dr Miano I was in construction business for about 30 years and almost always before building I had to consider subsequent issues Utility Cost Available technology Level of difficulty Time Could you please address those issues (to your best knowledge) regarding construction of pyramids in Giza Also if any construction company with compatible technological means could give us ball park figures that at least would put into perspective what those Egyptians have undertaken

[@MossyMozart]

Even today, design projects are like a triangular balloon where you squeeze on one point and another section pops out = cost, time, quality. * If you want a higher quality result, it will take more time and money. * If you want it done faster, it will take more money (hire more artisans and laborers) and means lesser quality. * If you want it to cost less, quality will suffer. The same as it ever was.

[@mukan9]

I think West Anatolia was like California of Roman Empire and Antalya was like Los Angeles at 1st and 2nd Century AD. You can understand how rich they were while visiting impressive Roman Ancient cities of West Anatolia.

[@Aeterna71]

Province of Asia was very important for sure and Ephesus might be one of the most popular cities in whole Roman Empire.

[@JayCWhiteCloud]

This was a treat, David...At 10:51, if I may suggest, one is a "quarry mason"...or quarryman (not to be sexist as this is the term.) The term "mason" is too generic as it covers everything from a person that lays brick (i.e. "bricklayers") to "dry mason," and many more. I'm sure the naysayers will show up soon to point out that they did not "have iron" thousands of years ago (not true at all in many cultures) but often fail (as the naysayers seldom ever have any real skills of craft) to understand that the tools are not all iron and some are "bitted" which if they knew the profession they would know what that means...LOL...At 21:42 I almost spit out my coffee at your spoof toward the signage which can get rather silly in these locations…At 34:13, in masonry, these are called the “margins” or “draft line” of a stone block. They can have many finishing methods from ”toothed” (what seems to be most common in the video) to simple bushing, broached, droved, etc…This masonry certainly has moved as most do not realize the amount of seismic activity this ancient architecture has endured and just how tectonically stable it is. Combined with the wood elements, now missing, the ancient architectural modalities we are now learning are significantly more durable than modern concrete and steel architecture by a huge margin. This is demonstrated by recent devastating earthquakes in Türkiye where all modern architecture failed and people had to take refuge and live in the architecture that was 300 years old and older as it not only endured that earthquake but countless others in functional order. I think the highlight for me was the stone mosaic floor of the stoa at 37:40. This was a style of work I learned early on following my mother around in Southern California as she did small tile and stone mosaics, among her other crafts. Thank you again for your wonderful and PROPERLY educational videos…!!!

[@WorldofAntiquity]

[@mukan9]

Most of the statues of Antalya Museum comes from Ancient city of Perge. While transforming from Paganism to Christianity most of the marble and bronze statues were melted and recycled for churches. The other pagan stone statues were thrown in to rivers or buried in to ground. How most of Perge’s statues escaped from this slaughtering is a big question mark…

[@clayclayton9819]

Thank you very much, Dr. I find herbal medicine and actual knowledge way more stimulating than "pseudo archeology. "... or whatever that nonsense is labeled as.

[@varyolla435]

When I look at these ancient things what strikes me the most - aside from the in some cases stunning architecture and what it represents = is how they were created in the first place. To create such sites denotes = "organization" on a societal level. These are standing testaments to what man can achieve when motivated by some belief system + and society is structured to facilitate their creation. That more than any particular technology per se defines our human existence as a species. Moral: man does not simply "interact" with our environment as many species do = we study and shape it based upon intents we formulate for different reasons. Whether those prove to be beneficial or not can be argued. Yet we still had to sit down and think up = "I want/need" this.......

Because they show no signs of it. Roman concrete is easily identifiable.

@@WorldofAntiquity Didnt you say it is from another kingdom? Sorry. Greek. They may have known other than the Roman's cement (?) Or how do you mean, no sign of using that?
