Subtitles for: Midas’s World (1975)

Midas's World, a documentary depicting Phrygian art and culture, is the second installment in the "Traces of Anatolian Civilizations" series, produced by Suha Arın as a cultural service of the Turkish Touring and Automobile Association. The product of a year of intensive work, the documentary reveals that ancient Greek art and culture, known as the cradle of civilization, are actually rooted in earlier civilizations in Anatolia, particularly the Phrygians. For Midas's World, produced by Suha Arın and four students from Ankara University's School of Press and Broadcasting, all relevant sources, including museums displaying Phrygian artifacts and Phrygian settlements, were individually scrutinized.
