31st October 2022, at 14.00, Bodrum Chamber of Commerce

Who was our fellow townsman Herodotus? What were the scientific and philosophical background during his lifetime? Who were the contributors to the world of philosophy during his time in ancient Athens? What were the sources of information in the ancient Egyptian, Scythian and Persian worlds? What kind of philosophical and worldly perspectives did this whole environment create? What was the main world view at that time? We will examine all these issues together with Reyhan Destan, researcher in the fields of history and archeology.
