Podcasts about gordion

In the fourth century BCE, Alexander the Great arrived in Phrygia, a kingdom in what is now Turkey. There, outside the castle, an oxcart was parked tied to a post with a complex knot called the Gordion knot.  An oracle had declared that any man who could unravel the knot was destined to become the ruler of all of Asia.  Alexander the Great took a look at that. And he reasoned his way through it, thinking that it… —  Gurudevi Nirmalananda   Watch Gurudevi's full discourse "Mind, Heart and Soul" here.   #yogamysticism #gurudevi #svaroopameditation #spirituality #divine #yoga #siddhayoga #muktananda #gurudevinirmalananda #meditation #blissyoga #svaroopayoga #swaminirmalananda

Pour en comprendre le sens, il faut remonter à l'époque précédant l'invention de l'imprimerie, mise au point au milieu du XVe siècle.Faute de pouvoir les reproduire par ce moyen, les moines recopiaient les textes. Ils avaient recours à l'écriture gothique, une graphie très serrée. Si on l'avait adoptée, c'était notamment pour économiser le parchemin, un support en peau de mouton ou de chèvre qui coûtait très cher.Sur les manuscrits, les "i", écrits alors sans point, pouvaient se confondre aisément avec des "l". Et on pouvait prendre deux i accolés pour un "u".L'usage de mettre un point sur les "i", et aussi sur les "j", afin d'éviter de telles confusions, se répand alors peu à peu."Trancher le nœud gordien"Si vous êtes confronté à un problème difficile, vous pouvez toujours "trancher le nœud gordien". Ce qui veut dire que vous aurez choisi la solution la plus expéditive pour résoudre cette difficulté.Cette expression tire son origine d'une légende de l'Antiquité. Elle a pour cadre le royaume de Phrygie, dans l'Anatolie actuelle. À une date que ces récits situent au IIe millénaire avant notre ère, le Roi venait de mourir dans sa capitale, qui portera ensuite le nom de Gordion.D'après un oracle, la première personne arrivant dans la ville sur un char à bœufs serait appelée à succéder au monarque défunt. Le personnage en question fut un certain Gordios, qui fut donc déclaré Roi.Il aurait ensuite noué autour du timon de son char un nœud en principe impossible à défaire. Une prédiction assure alors que celui qui le dénouerait serait le conquérant de l'Asie.Passant par la ville de Gordion, en 336 avant J.-C., le futur Alexandre le Grand résout le problème en tranchant ce nœud inextricable, appelé depuis, en raison du nom de la ville où il fut défait, le "nœud gordien".

Kral Midas'ın babası Gordion, öküz kiralayıp sabanla çiftçilik yapan biriymiş. Bir gün Gordion saban sürerken başının üzerinde değişik türden kuşların uçuştuğunu görüp meraklanmış. Bunun ne anlama geldiğini öğrenmek için bir kahine danışmış...

Bu hafta konumuz Anadolu'nun kadim bakliyatı mercimek. Bu toprakların en eski yiyeceklerinden biri, çok önemli bir protein kaynağı, çağlar boyunca Anadolu'da hüküm sürmüş tüm uygarlıklarca yenmiş ve yetiştirilmiş. Bizim hikayemiz geçen hafta Çin mutfağından bahsederken andığım İngiliz yemek yazarı Fuchsia Dunlop ile Ankara'da önce Ankara Palas'ta, sonra da Polatlı Gordion'da bir mercimek kazanı başında tanışmamızla başlıyor. İngiltere'den Channel 4 adına bir belgesel yapımı için gelen ekibe eşlik etmiş ve danışmanlık yapmıştım. Belgeselin konusu Gordion'da Kral Midas'ın cenaze töreni yemeğini canlandırmaktı. Ziyafetin ana yemeği mercimekli bir yahniydi. İşte bu yemeği birlikte yeniden canlandırdık. Hikâye 1950'lerde arkeolog Rodney Young ile başlıyor. Yıllara yayılan bu serüvenin inanılmaz öyküsü kayıtta.

Skipping the longer philosophical chat about the ethics of being a conqueror, Today we’re going to chat about Alexander the Great.   More specifically, we’re going to talk about him and a knot.   The Gordion Knot.   You know the story?   Wikipedia tells us that legend has it that, once upon a time, the ancient people known as the Phrygians (who lived in what is now modern Turkey) didn’t have a king.    An oracle declared that the next man to enter their capital city driving an ox-cart would become king. (That’s one way to do it, eh? )   So… A peasant farmer drove an ox-cart into town and, lo and behold, became king.   His name was Gordias.    In gratitude, his son Midas dedicated the ox-cart to the main Phrygian god (kinda like their version of Zeus) and tied it to a post with a super-intricate knot.    As in, "good luck untying THAT knot” kinda knot.   A Roman historian described it as "several knots all so tightly entangled that it was impossible to see how they were fastened.”   Fast forward.   Another oracle declares that whoever can unravel the crazy knot would become the ruler of all of Asia. (That’s one way to do it, eh?)   Fast forward.   Many men attempt to unravel the knot. No luck.   Fast forward.   It’s now 333 bce.    Alexander the Great cruises into town. He tries to untie the knot himself and has no luck.   So…    Being Great and all, he just decides to pull out his sword and slice the knot in half with a single blow. (That’s one way to do it, eh?)    And then, of course, he went on to fulfill the prophecy as he conquered Asia.   Enter: The Gordion Knot.   Back to Wikipedia which tells us: “It is often used as a metaphor for an intractable problem (untying an impossibly-tangled knot) solved easily by finding an approach to the problem that renders the perceived constraints of the problem moot (‘cutting the Gordian knot’).”   That’s Today’s +1.   Got any seemingly impossible knots in your life?   How’s the unraveling going?    Is there, perhaps, a more direct and/or forceful approach to resolving the issue than you may have tried so far?   Here’s a sword.    Just in case it comes in handy.

America has a strange relationship with alcohol. Certain drinks represented the darkest parts of the national psyche. Rum was once associated with slavery because sugar cane plantations that made rum were only profitable with chattel slavery. Whisky and hard cider were omnipresent in the 19th century, turning able-bodied men into drunkards who couldn't support their families and left them to starve.But it was Prohibition that is strangest of all. America successfully outlawed alcohol, the first and only modern nation to do so. The unintended consequences were enormous: from physicians falsifying alcohol's positive effects so they could write prescriptions for “medicine” and make a handsome profit, to record numbers of men converting to Judaism so they could administer alcohol in rabbinical ceremonies.Here to untangle the Gordion knot of alcohol in America's past is Cody Wheat from the Shots of History Podcast.  

Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan loom large in Western popular consciousness as two of history’s most fearsome warrior-leaders. Chroniclers referred to them as “The Scourge of God” and “Universal Lord” both fascinate and repel. But few people today are aware of their place in a succession of nomadic warriors who used campaigns of terror to sweep across the Eurasian steppes. They toppled empires and seizing control of civilizations. Today Professor Kenneth Harl joins us to talk about the effects of these steppe empires on world civilization. From antiquity through the Middle Ages, nomadic warriors repeatedly emerged from the steppes, exerting direct and indirect pressure on sedentary populations and causing a domino effect of displacement and cultural exchange. Dr. Harl and I discuss these turning points in history set into motion by steppe nomads: The fall of the Roman Empire can be blamed at least in part on the Huns. Christians of Asia Minor converted to Islam after the clergy fled the nomadic Turks. The Mongol sack of Baghdad destroyed the city and its role in the Muslim world. China’s modern-day Great Wall was constructed in response to the humiliation of Mongol rule. The spread of Buddhism and trade followed the Silk Road, which allowed cultural exchange between nomads and settled zones across Eurasia. Russia’s preemptive expansion into the northern regions was a reaction to the horror of being conquered by Mongols.   RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Kenneth's course “The Barbarian Empires of the Steppes”   ABOUT KENNETH HARL Dr. Kenneth W. Harl is Professor of Classical and Byzantine History at Tulane University in New Orleans, where he teaches courses in Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Crusader history. He earned his B.A. from Trinity College and his M.A. and Ph.D. from Yale University. An expert on classical Anatolia, he has taken students with him into the field on excursions and to assist in excavations of Hellenistic and Roman sites in Turkey.

Originally posted on Oct 1, 2010. Naomi F. Miller, Katherine M. Moore, and Kathleen Ryan from University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology discuss the facets of Sustainable Lifeways, how humans adapt to changes in their environment over time.

By the 1990s, after more than 40 years of archaeological investigation, the deterioration of the standing ruins at Gordion was hard to ignore. After a government sponsored water project brought irrigation to fields far from the river, agricultural development has steadily encroached on the ancient tumuli that characterize the region. For the past 15-20 years, the Gordion project has been attempting to mitigate the adverse effects of climate and economic development on the archaeological resources. This talk focuses on how an understanding of the modern vegetation can inform and enhance both preservation and the touristic experience. Presented by the Penn Museum's Research Project Manager, Dr. Naomi Miller.

This footage was shot during two excavation seasons at Gordion, Turkey in 1951 and 1957. The Midas Mound was opened in 1957 by an archaeological team headed by Rodney Young who appears at the beginning of the film and makes a brief appearance as he pieces together decorative wall moldings. The footage from 1951 shows men from a local village building a mud brick house at the site. The workers used mules to haul away debris during excavation. Also captured on film are the first images of the opening of the Tomb of King Midas. Footage includes shots of King Midas skeleton, cauldrons, belts, safety pins, and metal bowls strewn about the grave. The footage from 1957 was shot by Samuel B. Eckert (1884-1973), who served as a member of the Board of Managers of The University Museum from 1943-1973.
