Tess and I disagree about the best sites in western Turkey

[@robertmcdonnold3038]

I watched the whole series. When you're retired, you have time. What a wonderful addition Tess is. She made the trip so much more fun. Thanks for taking us along too. Bob

[@postyoda]

Enjoyed the whole thing a lot. I'm gonna rewatch it actually.

[@robzagar4275]

I really enjoyed the Turkey videos with both of you. Just fantastic and eye opening. Just such incredible history and culture. Thank you so much!

[@anitapollard1627]

Thank you Tess & David ❤️ thank you to your videographer from me too!!

[@pamtaheem12]

I enjoyed the whole trip. Wonderful ancient sites and great scenery. Thank you David and Tess.

[@hayabusaTravels]

Türkiye is a country I always come back with pleasure and anticipation of lots of new places to experience. Visited most of your list plus a few more (Catalhoyuk and GobekliTepe to just mention two), however your videos peaked my interests for a few I didn't knew about 'till now. Thanks for the ideas!

[@edgarsnake2857]

That was fun. Thanks. I watched the whole series. Hattusa has always appealed to me as the capital of a great 'lost' civilization. Also, your journey through Perga and the southwest coastal cities finally crystalized the concept of Ionia for me.

[@GLeibniz1716]

I’ve been waiting for your evaluations! Thanks and happy future travels!

[@Timelesstere]

Great job by everyone involved, it was a really great series and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@bullfrommull]

Great video. Loved this.

[@IceniBrave]

These history travel series are an absolutely brilliant format, I love them.

[@scoobysnax9787]

Love the 4 places you both agreed on. I watched the whole Turkiye series & learnt alot but loved those 20 places you both mentioned. God that must have been a wirlwind Tukeye tour to do all those places in just over 2 weeks & do all that recording & research. Wow amazingly fast work, brilliant & it looks like you were both having a good time producing it. Very Impressed.

[@SaraWilsonBasturk]

What a great list! One of my favorite things about my time living in Turkey was the abundance of incredible sites to explore. I huffed and puffed up and down the hills of Sagalassos when I was seven months pregnant and wondered how the Psidians managed back in the day 😂

[@alanmarshall4989]

I love your work Doc. keep going it is appreciated.

[@usun5886]

Super helpful and interesting, thank you both !

[@_mana_]

Dr. Miano- are you able to share your suggested travel itinerary for history buffs? would love to see your ideas for egypt, greece, turkey and other civilizations?

[@burnere633]

Yes, this! Please.

[@Antique803]

Excellent!

[@Tony11442]

Great work Prof. Miano thank you!

[@gregorynixonAUTHOR]

Thank you for this summary, David. How on earth did you get Tess to join you? What a natural charmer!

[@yensid4294]

this was fun. I'm an ancient history/archaeology enthusist but not an expert or academic so I could relate to both your points of views. Of course, if I was on a trip with an actual ancient historian scholar who could point out & explain why certain things were important or interesting that would greatly enhance visiting any ruins & ancient sites. Good food, nice people, a refreshing dip in a pool & great views would probably influence my list too ❤ Crowded tight places-no thank you. The heat might effect my ability to be enthusiastic as well 😮 What an amazing trip & wonderful life memories 😊 Thank you again for sharing these experiences since it's doubtful I will be able to go myself. Really enjoy your travel video series.

[@sahsenemelifgaboriault7064]

Ankara Museum is my favorite museum in Turkiye, too along with Sanliurfa Museum

[@nanoreaper5002]

Hopefully you will do a travel guide for Vietnam and Cambodia at some point...or Southern Africa. I love your travel guides and they are must watch when planning a trip.

[@inLegacy]

we like this summarize like format

[@Aeterna71]

Sagalassos is a good pick for No1. It is one of my favourites.

[@sinecure45]

I guessed that Tess would start with Sagalassos. Some day I may see it.

[@ero7703]

I recommended series to friends who travelled to Greece or wish to together with Adam Nicolsons: How to Be: Life Lessons from the Early Greeks

[@ero7703]

Thanks! Videos perfectly complement Adam Nicolsons :How to Be: Life Lessons from the Early Greeks

[@krisb6643]

Another great season of the ATG!

[@SCUIRPB]

As usual, I'm late here :-( Thanks to both Tess S. and Prof. David M. for this resumee. Been to a number of places on both of your lists, as well as others. Turkey (or, maybe, Anatolia) encorporates so much ancient history that even many centuries of research won't be enough to unearth and study everything that's found beneath the floor. Even Ephesus alone hides a lot more than one can expect. To me, the top site would be Hattusha for a few reasons. Primarily because the Hittites are largely a forgotten, or even neglected, civilization, yet very important, and which rivalled Egypt in few centuries in the 2nd millenium B. C., way before ancient Greece. I still don't get it how come the Hittites maintained such a large capital "mile high" in the center of Anatolia from 18th to 12th century, especially if you take into account the harsh winters there. And for everyone interested. Anatolia is worth being visited not in summer because it can be scorching hot (say, in Antalya), but off-season. I have never been there in summer. And with less tourists, you can make trips to favourite places, some of which look in fact abandoned. Some sites are not in good shape, but some others are still well-preserved, and it's likely you'll be there alone. Literally, NO-ONE will be there except for yourself, and no-one will charge you for entrance. (E. g., Alabanda, near Cine, south of Aydin, and many others.) Definitely must go back again, sooner rather than later.

[@huseyincembaykan1289]

İt is a pity that you both have missed the city Afrodiasis with best preserved marothone stadium in the world near Aydın west Türkiye.

[@marshalltodd2241]

Travel guide, now that really fits in your wheelhouse!

[@John-qo9hw]

Prof Miano. I remember seeing somewhere about your trip to China this August or September. Is the trip done or is it happening soon?

[@WorldofAntiquity]

Just got back.

[@John-qo9hw]

@@WorldofAntiquity great. Looking forward to the videos.

[@burnere633]

I loved the series, the first ATG for me. Plan to watch the previous ones after this. I also have a question. After a point, Tess stopped mentioning the museum card at the entrances to historic places. Was it not accepted more widely?

[@WorldofAntiquity]

It was still accepted.

[@olorin4317]

As much as I want to explore an underground stone city, I don’t think I could handle the combo of crowds and tight places either.

[@thomasp.kitten2517]

Tess seems like a gun travel buddy! Will she be going along on other trips?

[@JM-rp5lo]

Would you do a video on researching? I would love to look into academic papers and see the actual theories scientist publish instead of getting told about ut from someone else but have no idea where to look for sites that are verified and credible.

[@WorldofAntiquity]

See my series on Writing History, and you will get some good tips. I hope to continue it.

[@98Zai]

So good. Hoping for more! You can go to the same places again I don't really care, I might just rewatch these in a little while after they disappear into mists of memory. I would love if you spent more time at each location and really grabbed some of the details, made reconstructions and other graphics to make it more clear what these ruins would have looked like. I mean, I'll eat anything you feed me in terms of travel guides really - but it's quite difficult to understand how everything fits together at a site through video clips. Not your fault, humans suck at imagining spatial stuff in general!

[@WorldofAntiquity]

I need more money for that! :)

[@Ryan_Tinney]

All of these sites seem amazing.

Even archaeologists do this stuff where they convey to their subject or study impressions of their appreciation for Their favorite shit

[@phaethon3124]

would it be possible to learn basic cuneiform/sumerian/akkadian to read things in the museums or not worth it?...it would seem worthwhile to learn heiroglyphics and take a coptic dictionary to egypt

[@gooshnpupp]

I really hoped for a second this episode is going to be about sandwiches 😔

[@sinecure45]

I'm guessing you will both place Pergamon in first place. Let's see!

[@Mer-Man-Man]

guys hattusa is not in western Turkey it's in middle Anatolia we call this place inner anatolia province which is in Çorum

[@WorldofAntiquity]

We cut the country approximately in half, and everything on the left side of the line was west.

[@Mer-Man-Man]

@@WorldofAntiquity that's an American mind set but it's funny to hear Çorum is in western part as a local only western parts for us are aegean region and some of thrace lands

[@markg1537]

@babafingow that's fair, there's quite a few definitions of "western United states" and I don't think any of them really bisect the country in half.

@@LifeGoesOn66777 if you value the content then watch the commercials. This was not free for them to make they deserve to be paid for their work. Otherwise pay for premium it’s less than $20 a month. Write a budget decide where you can free up $20 and pay for premium. I’m sure there are items in the budget that cost $20 but are of less value than the infinite accumulated knowledge of man kind.
