What's at the site of Troy? All revealed here.

In our journey through Turkey, we make our way into the ancient regions of Aeolis and the Troad to explore the ruins of two ancient cities: Pergamon (Pergamum), the capital of the Kingdom of Pergamon, and Troy, the famed city of legend that goes back to the Bronze Age.

Thank you for watching this episode of the #antiquitiestravelguide. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it.

I have loved this series so much,
I can tell from your voice there were no vendors selling water up there

But the show must go on, much respect

Edit, the horse being under construction struck me as incredibly funny, they’ve had thousands of years
No one can talk about my procrastination anymore

You're a great host, David, but I must thank you for bringing Tess along. She lights up every scene she's in.

Doc....how do you not have your own network show? This is better than 99% of the historical documentaries available anywhere. I'm always sad when it ends. I want it to go on for hours and hours! Another excellent, informative and educational adventure in the books. I love hearing you go thru the history. I can listen to you talk about this stuff all day. Safe travels to you all!❤❤❤❤❤

Troy is the most famous sight but honestly Pergamon seems to me like a much more interesting place to visit. There's not that many tourists and you get some of the best panoramic views in the ancient world. It also looks like there's much more freedom in terms of exploration, you are not confined to narrow paths as in Troy.

This is a rather well thought out channel. It combines ancient history and its importance and relevance to current times, and it shows that some of these famous sites are accessible. Very well done.

Guy is creating his own 7 wonders itinerary 😊

I can only imagine how incredible it would be to have seen the city at its peak.

I thoroughly enjoyed traveling through Turkiye including Wilusa.

[jarlborg]

This is my only bucket list destination. I will go to Troy one day even if I have to walk there!

[edgarsnake]

Thanks Tess and David for the tour of western Turkiye. I always find the info on Troy to be pretty sketchy and a bit unsatisfying. I guess everybody feels that way. It's amazing that we know anything about it. Thanks again for the glimpse into the past.

I love these episodes. I was actually in Turkiye for a month in 1989. Unfortunately, it was while I was in the US Army, so my “tourist” exploits were very limited! It’s hard for me to reconcile the fact that I was in Bandirma and Balikasir, so near to so many of these ancient sites you guys have visited, yet never got to see them. I did fly over many in a helicopter, and I do have some interesting photographs, but it’s not the same. As well, Gobekli Tepe and the other pre-pottery Neolithic sites had yet to be discovered, otherwise I’d have probably gone there instead of taking the cruise ship to Istanbul.
I can’t complain. Few have even had the chance to visit these places, and I have. I look forward to these videos, and being a student of both history and archaeology, I appreciate Dr. Miano’s narratives immensely!

[anasevi]

Love to your guide, wonderful patient man. Thank you for another wonderful travel documentary!

[postyoda]

Woo, another episode of my favorite series on YouTube!

[scoon]

If we had as much reverence for each other as we do for the ancients, it would be a good world.

[mythosboy]

Another fantastic video: Pergammom, Turkey/Turkiye, pictures of food, Troy.
I'm getting a serious traveling bug just watching these. Thanks.

Also, not a horse, but a rabbit...

[MrZurbagiu]

i visited these sites last year, it was a magical experience, diving so deep into the past. great to revisit them in your videos about Turkey! and revise what i have learned :D thank you for doing these travelling guides!

[XyrxesTube]

Great Video👍🏻 Thank you so much for your Work❗️

[JayCWhiteCloud]

Wonderful...Thank you Dr. Miano. Have a great Holiday weekend!

[rachelann]

Thank you once again for another absolutely wonderful tour of ancient and historical sites! Due to some health conditions and disabilities, traveling outside of the US is just not something I can see myself doing but I WANT to see all these places. I want to know what it feels like to stand in homes, theaters, religious centers, etc that are thousands of years old. It makes me incredibly sad that the colonizers of American, my ancestors, did not see the value in keeping the history of the natives. People want to say that it’s only because they build in wood and other decomposing materials, but thats just not the case in all tribes nor for sites close to them. I hope to visit one of the mound sites eventually.

I live somewhat near Jamestown and Williamsburg (about 2 hrs away), and I hope to visit them sometime this late fall or early spring. It’s not the same as ancient sites, but for me Jamestown is a dive into my family history. I have ancestors that came into the colony, some VERY early on that were killed in the massacre (1612ish?.) Some were settlers, businessmen. But most of mine in Jamestown were indentured servants. One of them was actually an exile from his home land for not pledging to a new monarch in his home country (I believe Scotland)

I do already feel connected to some of my Jamestown and colonial Virginia family. I grew up in NJ, and moved down here about 5 years ago. I didn’t know about my ancestors back then. When I was doing some research on the members that my aunt had found, i discovered some of them lived on the VERY SAME property I’m living on right now, except then it was listed as a plantation and was FAR bigger than it is now (It’s only a few acres at this time.)

24:03 Yeah I know it, we have a copy of Laocoon and Sons in front of Archeological museum in Odesa, a corner around our Neoclassical city hall, it's a fav spot of local skaters.
