Midyat:
Midyat is an originally Assyrian/Syriac town in Mardin Province of Turkey. The ancient city is the center of a centuries-old Assyrian/Syriac enclave in Southeast-Turkey, widely familiar under its Syriac name Tur Abdin. A cognate of the name Midyat is first encountered in an inscription of the Neo-Assyrian king Ashur-nasir-pal II (883-859 B.C.).[citation needed] This royal text depicts how Assyrian forces conquered the city and its surrounding villages. In its long history, the city of Midyat has remained politically subjected by various rulers - from the Assyrian Empire to the modern Turks.The history of midyat can be traced back to the Hurrians during the 3rd millennium. Ninth century BC. Assyrian tablets refer to Midyat as Matiate, or city of caves due to the caves at eleth 3 km away from the city where the earliest inhabitants lived. Many different empires had ruled over Midyat including the Mitannians, Assyrians, Uratians, Medes, Persians, Macedonians, Romans, Byzantines, Abbasids, Seljuks and Ottomans.Due to repeated marauding from invading Mongol and Turkish tribes into Tur Abdin culminating in the end of the 14th, 19th and beginning of the 20th century - the Assyrian/Syriac population of Tur-'Abdin was severely decimated. The Assyrian Genocide of World War I wiped out large numbers of ethnic Syriac Christians in Turkey.
After the so-called Gastarbeiter ('guest worker') era, though, commencing in the early 1960s, the city was soon to be nearly completely emptied from its native inhabitants who choose to leave for a better life offered in Western Countries. Soon other local Mhallami and Kurdish inhabitants start building houses in the surrounding areas. The houses and churches belonging to Christians have been preserved although many of them are empty.
The Midyat economy similar to that of any small southeastern village in turkey consisting of carpets, towels and other cloth goods. More specific to the city is its silver crafts called telkari which are handcrafted silver ornaments which are made up of very fine strands of silver laid on top of one another. another staple in the Midyat market is its bulgur rice which is a very fine brown rice.

Mardin
Mardin is a city in southeastern Turkey. The capital of Mardin Province, it is known for the Artuqid (Artıklı or Artuklu in Turkish) architecture of its old city, and for its strategic location on a rocky hill near the Tigris River that rises steeply over the flat plains.
Mardin is one of the oldest settled areas in upper Mesopotamia. Excavations done in the 1920s discovered remains in the area that dated to 4000 BCE. The first known civilization were the Subarians who were then succeeded in 3000BCE by the Hurrians. The Elamites gained control around 2230 BCE. and were followed by the Babylonians, Hittites, Assyrians, Romans and Byzantines.
In 692, the Muslim Ummayads arrived and introduced Islam. The Abbasid Caliphate based in Baghdad replaced them in 824. Factions of the Seljuk Turks fought each other over Mardin as it changed hands many times before it was finally taken by Nahm ad-din Ilghazi, the bey of the Artukids, a Turkish dynasty founded by the Seljuk Emir Artuk. During the Artukid period, many of Mardin's historic buildings were constructed, including several Mosques, Palaces, Madrassas and Hans.
The lands of the Artukid dynasty fell to the Mongols sometime between 1235 and 1243, but the Mongols never directly governed the area. The Artukid family ruling Mardin became vassal state of the Mongol Empire. During the battle of Ain Jalut in 1260, the Artuqid (Artık) ruler revolted against the Mongol rule. Hulegu's general and Chupan's ancestor, Koke-Ilge of the Jalayir, stormed the city and Hulegu appointed the rebel's son, al-Nasir, governor of Mardin. Although, Hulegu suspected the latter's loyalty for a while, thereafter the Artukids remained loyal unlike nomadic Bedoun and Kurd tribes in the south western frontier. The Mongol Ilkhanids considered them important allies. For this loyalty they shown, Artukids were given more lands in 1298 and 1304. Mardin later passed to the Akkoyunlu, a federation of Turkic tribes that controlled territory all the way to the Caspian Sea. In 1517, Mardin was annexed by the Ottomans under Selim the Grim. During this time, Mardin was administered by a governor directly appointed under the Ottoman Sultan's authority. In 1923, with the founding of the Republic of Turkey, Mardin was made the administrative capital of a province named after it.Mardin has often been considered an open air museum due to its historical architecture. Most buildings use the beige colored limestone rock which has been mined for centuries in quarries around the area.

The Ancient City of Mardin, Turkey
Jetset Extra toured the province of Mardin in Southeastern Turkey with archeologist and museum curator Masut Alp. This is one of Mesopotamia's oldest settled areas, with evidence of human habitation dating back to 4,000 BCE. Many civilizations have laid claim to this area, including the Romans, Mongols, Ottomans, and more. Mardin's administration is currently working to connect with its storied history by restoring the landscape to its original layout and in so doing, submit itself as a candidate for the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Midyat, TurAbdin: The Blessed Aramean (Syriac) City
The ancient city of Midyat is the epicenter of a centuries-old Christian Syriac/Aramean enclave in Southeast-Turkey, widely familiar under its Aramaic name Tur-'Abdin.
Due to repeated maraudings from invading Mongol, Turkic and Kurdish tribes into the Tur-'Abdinian plateau - culminating in the end of the 14th, 19th and beginning of the 20th century in deliberate assaults and mass killings - the Aramean population of Tur-'Abdin was severely decimated. Shortly before, during and after the Genocide of 1915, a number of Aramean families from Midyat sought refuge in the neighboring Arab countries, such as Syria and Lebanon.

Mardin / Hasankeyf / Midyat - Turkey Tour - HD
Were you thinking about visiting this magical spot?
On 19th of October we decided not to stay in Istanbul and bought our flight tickets to Mardin immediately to see this beauty.
The city is located on the slope of a hill looking down south to the Mesopotamian plains. Mardin is on the rail and highway routes connecting Turkey to Syria and Iraq.
Mardin is a highly addictive and unmissable spot. Minarets emerge from a baked brown labyrinth of meandering lanes, a castle dominates the old city, and stone houses cascade down the hillside above the Mesopotamian plains. As a melting pot of Kurdish, Yezidi, Christian and Syrian cultures, it also has a fascinating cultural mix.

WEEKEND IN MARDIN TURKEY TRAVEL VIDEO 2018
Solo girl travel to Mardin
Mardin is a stunning city which I wanted to visit for a long time. And suddenly a week ago I just booked my tickets and went.
Thought of going there made me feel so happy, made me smile for no reason so in advance I thought that this weekend getaway will be a huge success. It was indeed! The city stole my heart from the first sight. It was so much more than I expected. People are beautiful and welcoming, old town is full of wonderful streets, history and cultures. I went to the fairy tale and from the first second I knew I will come back so many times, I will know every little street, I will learn name of every seller which will tell me incredible story.
Mardin is so beautiful it hurts.
“There is beauty, heartbreaking beauty, everywhere.” Edward Abbey
This video only includes the Old City of Mardin, there is much more to see in Mardin province but old streets got me forever. Enjoy ❤️
