As Anatolia is one of the cradle of human civilization, a voyage through the museum parallels a passage through human history.Viewing each of the rooms dedicated to the different historical periods affords one valuable insight into the trajectory of human civilization. Watch how the artifacts tell the story of human's progression from nomadic lifestyles as hunter-gatherers, to settling in small villages and cultivating crops, to crafting pottery from copper.
