Ancient Gordion, the famed elevated citadel of King Midas, is still giving us valuable historical data.
Dating back 4,500 years, the site is located approximately 45 miles south-west of Ankara in western central Turkey. Alfred Körte started excavations in 1900, seven years after he discovered the site. Now, 115 years later, excavations have uncovered high defensive walls, a road and an industrial area dating to around 1000 BC.
