There is an ancient people called the Phrygian people in Turkey who have left behind remnants of their stay in what is now Turkey.

King Midas of the golden touch is one of the most prominently remembered Phrygian's today.

If there is one thing that I have learned on the trip, it's that Turkey is the home of the most Ancient, ancient, ancient civilizations. And more than one.

I thought I saw old things on my trip to the U.K. and Italy last year, but this place is older. So old, that in the new world we've learned some of the old stories. We just don't know where they come from.

This trip showed me just how much of it is Turkey.
