@garymaidman625 Месяц назад

The theatre at Aspendos or Asbestos if you like, reminds me of the Roman Amphitheatre in Verona in Italy. It's also so well preserved that live performances are regularly held there. I've been to Verona when one of these operatic performances were taking place. While I wasn't within the amphitheatre, I was in the piazza and it was still incredible.

@almitrahopkins1873 Месяц назад

The proscenium is everything in front of the sceni. It’s the arch that the main curtain hangs from in modern theatres. The rigging of the shade over the seats eventually went on to be foundation of the flies when theatres began having a roof, allowing backdrops to be raised and lowered as needed, changing the appearance of the sceni. Even as late as the Elizabethan period, a theatre was designed the exact same as an ancient amphitheater. That theatre history class I took as part of a technical theatre minor is seldom useful, but in this rare occasion it is. Those arched alcoves may have been for the chorus if there are no statues on the site. That’s why they’re life-sized. A person would have stood there waiting to deliver their lines.

It's worth mentioning that in popular tradition it was believed that the argives who founded the city did so after the fall of Troy and they settled there after the war ended. It was to say colonisation by proxy and not directly by the founding city if Argos. I like how the story of this city ties with mythology and the general background of the Mycenaean - Hittite historical conflict. One can only imagine how chaotic this period was in that area during that time.

The Nile River Valley, heavily populated since the beginning of human overpopulation, was largely depopulated at 14 ka. Repopulation happened at 5.5ka. Surrounding areas with water were not depopulated. The Nile delta shows high levels of heavy metal concentrations in these time constraints. Did meltwater pulse 1A have anything to do with this? Did MWP 1B, coincidental with Plato's reference to Atlantis, have anything to do with the burial of Gobeckli Tepi?

The Italian word for "yacht" is "panfilo" and apparently the origin of this word goes back to the coastal region of Pamphylia because of the type of seacraft used in this area. The word Pamphylia itself may come from the Greek and means "pan phylum" -all the tribes.

I sincerely think saying that they "held out " is a bit of a stretch, and a gross misrepresentation if not exaggeration, of what most likely occurred when facing the armies of Macedonia and Alexander... When not attracting his attention, incurring his Wrath, or being worthy of conquest... Is probably the best explanation of the survival of these cities or societies... Simply put.... If Alexander wanted your city, he would get your city, if he wanted your entire Empire, odds are he was going to get it...

@ 9:45 No sir, I'm afraid you're mistaken! Atlantis was utterly obliterated by the magic comet and the younger dryas apocalypse around 12900 - 11600yrs ago. Thats why there's no evidence whatsoever of Atlantis, every single building and individual artifact was destroyed. So, obviously, that theater was built shortly after the younger dryas, by primitive cavemen who were guided and influenced by surviving atlanteans to become more advanced and civilized, but they were not actually atlanteans themselves ^joking^ That part was funny, but Atlantis believers probably don't find it funny

Sort of ironic that most of Turkey’s revenue for tourism comes from people wanting to visit ancient Roman and Greek sites. Do the Italians or Greeks get royalties at least?... 😅

@ike4425 Месяц назад

So ironic that you are not aware that indigenious people of Anatolia ie todays Turkey expossed and impossed to Hellenic culture were genetically not related to Greeks. Turks living around those ancient sites today are descendants of the people whom used to live in those ancient cities.Check out the DNA research of Belgian Prof. Waelkens on skelotons found during excavation in Sagalassos vs the DNA of the locals living today around that ancient site. Yeap, both DNAs were perfect match.

@millamulisha Месяц назад

@@ike4425 But the Turks who conquered Anatolia (e.g. the Ottoman rulers and notable classes of people) were ethnically people who migrated from an area closer to China. I’m not surprised that indigenous people were assimilated by the Ottomans, who did all manner of things to subjugate indigenous peoples like the Armenians and Kurds. But the vast majority of the ancient sites of modern day ‘Turkey’ which tourists flock to are Byzantine Greek and Roman, not Turkic. 🤷‍♂️

@ike4425 Месяц назад

@@millamulisha I understand your pain hence your desperate non sense. So the “Byzantine Greeks” and Romans assimilated indigenous people of Anatolia. Needless to say, before the Greeks and Roman Anatolia was land of Hitites , Lydians, Luvians…non Greek, non Armenians people. And Turks were already mixed race way before they stepped in to Anatolia, so They did not come to Anatolia with slint eyes and with physiological characteristics of Middle Asian people. We are looking after very well those ancient sites , investing millions of dollars for keeping them intact as if those antiquties heritage to us from our own people of Anatolia. And we are not doing it to atract tourists to come over and leave money in Turkey but doing it for appreciation , pleasure of our people.

@millamulisha Месяц назад

@@ike4425 The genetic analysis has already been done, Hittites are Indo-European people from the Caucuses and Lower Volga and Dneiper region.
