Civilizations in Review: The Kingdom of Phrygia
Have you heard of King Midas's Golden Touch, The Trojan War, and the Gordian Knot? Or more modernly, Missy Elliot's "Get Your Freak On"? The thing that connects these random pieces all lie in the Phrygian Kingdom. Lasting for around 5 centuries in modern-day Northwest Turkey, this ancient Greek-adjacent kingdom flourished with a thriving equestrian class and were immense traders and crafters on metalworking, woodcraft, pottery making, and embroidery. Thank you Nate Merz for showcasing this kingdom's fascinating history.
