(Channel 4)


In this fascinating new 2-part Channel 4 series Renowned historian Bettany Hughes embarks on an epic journey across ancient Anatolia, modern-day Türkiye, in search of the dawnings of human civilisations. From the world’s first societies and weapons, to the birth of myths and empires, this is the story of where it all began.


Her journey opens at the extraordinary Neolithic sites of Karahantepe and Göbeklitepe, where life-sized stone figures, buried for 12,000 years, offer a glimpse into a world emerging from the last Ice Age. She then travels to Gordion, legendary home of King Midas – the man with the golden touch – and on to Sardis, seat of the fabled Croesus.


Crossing this rich and enchanting landscape, Bettany boards a breathtaking rail journey from the snowy Caucasus mountains in the remote northeast of the country, tracing the paths of the merchants who forged the Silk Roads—and the connections that helped shape our modern world.

Если появляется новый вопрос, обычно не ограничиваюсь одним сайтом. Для практических бытовых тем сначала могу открыть Poradka, а затем посмотреть Sutovychok, где тоже много материалов о доме, повседневных задачах и разных полезных мелочах. Когда речь идет об уходе, здоровье или личной жизни, чаще заглядываю на Vrazhay, а для отношений и общения дополнительно смотрю Lifehata. Технологические темы удобнее искать на Infovayb, а также для чтения о питании, психологии и других познавательных направлениях, поэтому выбор зависит от конкретного запроса.

The explanation of Sangya Ki Paribhasha was easy to follow, and I could quickly write the meaning in my own notes.

Bettany Hughes at Göbeklitepe got me hooked, those 12,000-year-old carvings are hard to imagine. I looked up Graveyard Keeper 2 Wiki after watching to learn more about the sites, and it made the whole episode clearer.
