Turkey: Ancient Land and Modern Nation with 89.7's Lisa Mullins
Oct. 15–28, 2008
Straddling the divide between Europe and Asia, it has been at the heart of some of the most powerful empires in history. As the Greeks, Romans, and Persians knew, to control Turkey was to control the crossroads of the eastern and western worlds. Explore the wonders of ancient and modern Turkey on this fascinating WGBH LearningTour, hosted by The World's Lisa Mullins, the award-winning anchor of the acclaimed BBC and WGBH co-produced global news magazine.
Experience a spectacular adventure through time and investigate the rich histories of the Hittite, Phrygian, Persian, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk,
and Ottoman empires. Splendid historical locales, such as the underground city of Derinkuyu, the caravanserai of Sultanhani, and the archaeological site of Ephesus, counterpoint the modern pleasures of exploring the Turkish coast aboard a traditional wooden gulet, wandering through Istanbul's labyrinthine Grand Bazaar, and watching a performance by the mystical Whirling Dervishes.
