Показать описание
Jetset Extra toured the province of Mardin in Southeastern Turkey with archeologist and museum curator Masut Alp. This is one of Mesopotamia's oldest settled areas, with evidence of human habitation dating back to 4,000 BCE. Many civilizations have laid claim to this area, including the Romans, Mongols, Ottomans, and more. Mardin's administration is currently working to connect with its storied history by restoring the landscape to its original layout and in so doing, submit itself as a candidate for the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Mardin is a great Turkish city with many Kurds and Turks living together. Anybody stupid enough to think it belongs to any one ethnic group exclusively needs to grow up, the real world is not that simple...

You are very welcome. Thank you for liking our video. This part of Turkey is less visited, but really deserves some attention from tourists. It's very interesting and so many ruins and artifacts to see. The people in Mardin are wonderful too.
