Phrygians: Land of Fairy Tales - Forgotten Kingdoms

Phrygians: Land of Fairy Tales - Forgotten Kingdoms Book Description While the Incas living in South America were migrating, their leaders shot an arrow into the sky to determine the place where the tribe would stay and live. They believe that they will live for a long time by staying in the area where the arrow will return to the ground and fall. The arrow that was thrown fell around Lake Titicaca, and the leaders settled on the shore of the lake with the tribe members, saying that this region was reserved for them. The Phrygians also have a similar story. When the city of Gordion was in the village life, the people believed that one day, someone from a far away place would come to their village and establish a kingdom in the village. As a matter of fact, one day, when a nomadic villager named Gordion entered the village with his ox cart, the people became alarmed and believed that this man would be the king. Gordion establishes a small state in the village and calls it Gordion. Later, this city-state became the state of the Phrygians. In this work, Ali Narçın presents the rise of the Phrygians, the city state founded by Gordion, to kingship, their life traditions, forms of government and belief in a simple language and brief information.
