Anatolia... You will see history dancing on the land that has hosted countless civilizations from the first days when the sun shined. You listen to the stories of many ancient times in this land that reflects the existence of time zones intertwined layer by layer, that still does not die, leaves traces, tells us and shouts at us. When you are able to look and see, you now know that the ground you walk on and its gold is much more than it appears. You feel the harmony of visible and invisible, living and not living, today and yesterday, distant and near. When you are able to look and see, you will know that the ground you walk on and under that ground is much more than it appears.

In order to see, hear and feel Phrygia, you should go to region that civilization continued its existence as the most effective domination area in B.C 7. where Afyonkarahisar, Kütahya and Eskişehir provinces intersect, which is known as "Mountainous Phrygia" in the archeology literatüre. The region is also dominant due to the fact that the rock structure of Türkmen Mountain, which is an extinct volcano, which is covered with lava, has been shaped by geographical effects in time and adorned with numerous valleys, plateaus and rock structures, and these structures have been used as living space by people living in the region from ancient times to the present day, and the rock structure is easily processed. It is extremely important as it is a region that keeps the works that remind you that you are in the open air museum until today.
While walking in the Phrygian valleys, you can watch the works that take you on time travel on the ancient roads that are thematic inspiration to the region.These hundreds or even thousands of years old roads, are decorated with traces reaching 4-5 m depth in places, formed by the wheels of horse carriages used by people living in their times. While walking on these roads, you will see numerous rock settlements, Phrygian castles, carved rock churches, open-air monuments, rock tombs, tumuli, mounds, cupolas, caravanserais and mosques feeling the "timelessness" of history in your soul.
Our 2020 Phrygia Valley Project participants; Necla Türemen, Ali Ayhan, Ahmet Cüce, Tufan Onur Akgün and İffet Karaca.
