Perseid meteors flash across Türkiye's Mt Nemrut

It's that time of the year when stargazers scale Mount Nemrut in Türkiye's southeast at dawn to catch a glimpse of the Perseid meteor shower. While the meteroids never fail to amaze each year, the site near an ancient temple-tomb has its own mysteries that have stood for more than two millenia. Rumeysa Kalin Karabulut was there.

If you ever find in the current territory of Turkey anything ancient related to the Turks, let us know, i.e. Never

Archeologists work hard bringing life to ancient ruins.

According to science we are bombing through random space at millions of kmh.
How come we get a yearly meteor shower?
