The Extinct Sidetic People of Ancient Anatolia

[@mawkernewek]

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.

[@kevinhenning]

That's a very nice explanation 🙂

Thanks, and welcome!

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.

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?

[@golddragonette7795]

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

[@kaloarepo288]

@@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.

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.

[@WorldofAntiquity]

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.

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).
