Herodotus almost “photographed” the daily lives of people in 5 BC, so that “the deeds of human beings will not be forgotten in time”. As described in his work, these ancient people lived in harmony with nature and used what it offered them with great wisdom and confidence. Some of their ancient ways of life, their eating-drinking habits, their cultivation of the land, and their approaches to health and cleanliness are known and still applied today . However, Sevinç Ulucanlar will draw our attention to their “unknown” ways of life which will surely surprise us !
