Phrygien är det antika namnet på geografin norr om Ankara, Afyonkarahisar, Eskişehir, större delen av Kütahya och Konya, Isparta och Burdur. Regionen, som är mycket lik Kappadokien med sina naturliga formationer, är ännu äldre i historien.

Phrygien och Phrygiska vägen

Regionen vid korsningen av vägar som förbinder Anatolien har genom historien väckt begär hos dominerande samhällen. I området, som är täckt av lava från Turkmenberget, en slocknad vulkan, har dominerande samhällen, särskilt phrygierna, lämnat efter sig olika artefakter. Lydier, perser, och efter den hellenistiska perioden, romare och bysantiner bodde här. Men eftersom phrygierna lämnade flest spår i regionen, kallas platsen för de Phrygiska dalarna.

Phrygisk historia

Efter att hettiternas dominans började omkring 1700 f.Kr. och varade i 500 år, startade en stamflyttning kallad phrygier i Anatolien när de upplöstes omkring 1200 f.Kr. År 750 f.Kr. uppnådde phrygierna politisk överhöghet. Under perioden med deras legendariska kung Midas blev de en mycket mäktig stat.

Phrygierna påverkades av hettitiska, urartiska, assyriska och antika egeiska civilisationer. De dekorerade väggarna i templen de byggde för Kybele, fruktbarhets- och naturgudinnan, med terrakottaplattor. De skapade lejonmotiv, som anses vara Kybeles beskyddare, på dessa monument. Många musikinstrument utvecklades av phrygierna. Tusentals år gamla motiv i anatoliska mattor kommer också från phrygiska motiv. Det framgår att teknologin som användes av phrygierna, som var mycket avancerade inom gruvdrift och träbearbetning, särskilt i tillverkningen av säkerhetsnålar, var mycket avancerad för den tiden.

Det tros att Midas begick självmord genom att dricka oxblod när de brändes och förstördes av invandrade kimmeriska stammar som dem själva år 695 f.Kr. Phrygierna, som fortsatte sin dominans i 300 år som furstendömen, försvann från historien med Alexander den Stores invasion av Anatolien.

Den Phrygiska vägen, 506 km lång, som börjar från tre punkter: Gordion antika stad (Polatlı, Ankara), Seyçiler (Afyonkarahisar) och Yenice Çiftliği (Ahmetoluğu by, Kütahya) och går in i de Phrygiska dalarna, sammanstrålar i Yazılıkaya, phrygiernas hjärta.
