10. TECHNOBIRD IS IN UŞAK
10.1. Nurhayat KÖKDENER-Gazi Mustafa Kemal Primary School
Ela and her friends are very excited when they see technobird in the school garden. They run
and hug the bird. It is very tired and hungry. They take it to Ela's home and her mother serves
traditional Uşak tarhana. Ela says
in Uşak you can both witness the history of the region while enjoying stunning views of natures
beauty. Let's go and visit Uşak museum of archaeology they say altogether. Technobird is
impressed by the croesus treasure which is a collection of 363 valuable Lydian artifacts from
the seventh century B.C.
Then they decide to visit the city's famous canyon, which is known as the second longest
canyon in the entire world after the U.S. Grand Canyon. Ela reads the information written there
to technobird. "Once home to several ancient civilizations, including Lydia, Macedonia, the
Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, Germiyanids and the Ottoman Empire, the Ulubey
Canyon spans an impressive 40-45 kilometers in length and is still home to some ancient ruins."
After visiting the world-famous canyon, they stop by the Cılandıras Bridge. Ela says it is an
ancient structure built during the Phrygian era. After visiting Ulubey canyon and Cılandiras
bridge they visit the Uşak Municipality Weaver House and view the weaving process of making
traditional Uşak carpets. Ela says Uşak carpets symbolize elegance, durability and authenticity.
Lastly, after experiencing all of these aspects of Uşak, they all go to
see the sport "javelin," a traditional, ancient Turkish competition between horsemen.
Technobird ride a horse on javelin farm, too.
After witnessing the history of the region, enjoying stunning views of natures beauty and
tasting traditional meal of Uşak technobird thanks Ela and her friends and goes to a different
city of Turkey to see new places.
