What the Greeks learn from the Anatolians?
The Greeks learned various cultural, artistic, and philosophical influences from the Anatolians, particularly during the period of interaction and trade. The Anatolians contributed to the development of early Greek art, architecture, and mythology, as seen in the adoption of motifs and styles in pottery and sculpture. Additionally, the Greeks were influenced by Anatolian religious practices and concepts, which enriched their own spiritual beliefs. This exchange fostered a blend of ideas that shaped the evolution of ancient Greek civilization.

Are there camels in the country of Turkey?
Yes, there are some camels in Turkey; however, not as much as the outsiders think there are. In some parts of western Turkey, camel fighting competition is very traditional. When you visit central Turkey you will get a photo opportunity with one of the old camels as tourist attractions, but that's about it. Camels are more suitable for more flat lands with more desert like climate. As a mountainous country with a variety of climate zones, the local Anatolians historically preferred to use donkeys to carry their goods from one place to another.
Medieval term for Muslim?
You are probably thinking of the term "Saracen", but this does not have to mean a Muslim.Although its original Latin meaning was the Arabs of the Middle East, by medieval times it had come to mean anyone foreign and distant, or indeed anything foreign or distant. The crusading knights and others who travelled from all parts of Europe used the term Saracen for all the foreigners they encountered: Turks, Syrians, Egyptians, Bedouin, Anatolians, Armenians and others, many of whom were Christians, not Muslims.The same word, in the form "Sarcen" was used to describe imported ("foreign") stones used at Stonehenge. These stones were not Muslim, simply moved from a long distance away from the site of the monument.
Was turkey christianized in 1100 CE?
No. Christianity was the majority religion in Anatolia by around 500 C.E. Since Anatolia was part of the Roman Empire when Constantine converted to Christianity in the 300s C.E., the areas closest to Constantinople were those first converted. 1100 C.E., however, saw massive immigrations of Armenian Christians to Anatolia, following the defeat handed to the Christian Byzantines by the Muslim Seljuks. Starting in 1200 C.E. would begin the Islamization of Anatolia, whereby large scores of Anatolians would be converted to Islam due to economic and social discrimination under the Seljuk, Ottoman, and other minor Turkish statelets.
When did the Byzantines become Turks?
The Byzantine Empire was conquered by various Turkic groups, with the Ottomans dealing the death blow to the empire. However, the citizens of the Byzantine Empire, especially the Hellenized Anatolians, became Turks through their conversion to Islam (and speaking Turkish) under Ottoman rule. This process began as early as the 1300s and continued well into the 19th century. By the end of the 19th century, the Ottoman Empire was roughly three-quarters Muslim and Anatolia would be purged of its Christian minorities as a result of the Armenian, Greek, and Assyrian genocides during World War I.
What evidence is there of Civilisation before the Flood?
The answer to this greatly depends on what year you attribute the occurrence of the Flood of Noah (if it even is a historical event). The oldest common estimates place the events of the Flood at around 4000 B.C.E. The evidence of Civilization (as was later defined) is non-existent, but there were numerous small cities throughout the Middle East. During the 5th millennium B.C.E., Anatolians invented the wheel.
Are Turkish people considered middle eastern?
Turkey(Turkiye) is a land where Middle East,Asia,Europe meets. Original Turks are not Middle Easterns, they are EuroAsians. But in todays Turkey, there are too many different ethnicities living, like in USA. Basicly, people who lives in the east side,are called Kurdish and they are Middle Easterns. People who lives in the north and west are more like EuroAsians. They are called Anatolians. Its really hard to talk about the majority of the country because its really mixed. Bur original Turks are EuroAsians.Their culture is very familiar with Greeks or Italians. Most of them have colored eyes like my mom,and white bright skin. So you may meet a Turk who is more like a Middle Eastern or Europian, its basicly your judgement or his own opinion on how he sees himself. I hope this answer helped.
Why do Turkish people speak Turkish?
Because they are Turkish. Aren't they? If the question is asking historically how Turkish came to Anatolia, the answer is that when the Seljuks and Ottomans conquered the eastern areas of Anatolia, there was a process of Turkification where native Anatolians intermarried with invading Turks, began to speak their language and converted to Islam. This process occurred over centuries and led to the extinction of non-Turkish languages (other than Arabic and Kurdish) among the Muslim population of Anatolia. The Christians and Jews (who preserved their languages in spite of Turkification) were forced out of Anatolia during the tumultous period between 1914-1924. Some, like the Greek Orthodox left in violent population exchanges. Some, like the Jews just fled. Some like the Armenians were massacred and genocided. Regardless, when these non-Muslim Turks were forced out of Turkey, only the Turkish and Kurdish languages remained. When Mustafa Kemal founded Turkey, he made Turkish the mandatory national language of the country in the same way that Greek became the language of Greece and German is the language of Germany.
Is a person's ethnicity fixed?
Within somebody's life, the answer is usually, yes. A person cannot change from being ethnically Yoruba (Nigeria) to being ethnically Thai. However, there are some circumstances where ethnicity is contingent on historical circumstances and not some fixed DNA counter.A perfect example of changing ethnicities would be in the creation of the Turk ethnicity in Anatolia and the Balkans. By the time of Suleiman the Magnificent to the present day, the majority of Turks in Turkey and the surrounding countries had no or minimal ethnic connection to the Turks of Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan, where their Turkic conquerors, the Seljuks and Ottomans, came from. They were actually the indigenous people of Anatolia and the Balkans, many of whom had previously identified as Byzantine Greeks, but who converted to Islam. It was this conversion to Islam that made them Turks. They were also not linguistically homogeneous. Roughly half of the Turks in Anatolia and the Balkans prior to 1900 did not speak Turkish at all. They spoke Greek, Serbo-Croatian, or Bulgarian since those were the languages of the regions where they were from. The process of indigenous Anatolians and Balkans-peoples converting to Islam and, therefore, becoming ethnically Turkish, was called "Turkification".
