"(...) and another thing, i've never seen lewis more relaxed than he was after the race on sunday; in the post-race press conference he had the floor to himself, just him on his own, answering questions about the season and what the title means to him; and his answers were heartfelt and illuminating. it was lewis, at his most articulate and endearing...but it was what happened immediately after the cameras stopped rolling that showed what a weight of his shoulders title number seven really is...he walked to the edge of the room and sat down, and even lay down at one point…and i think this must have been the first moment he had to himself since the end of the race and he was soaking it up; he was clearly emotionally drained but also really happy, you could really see the smile on his face. and as i walked out of the room, i said to him: "you alright!?" and he laughed and he wanted to chat, which is something that lewis, the racing driver, isn't usually very good at over a race weekend because he is too focused, too in the zone, too busy, but after clinching this title the wall came down ever so slightly...maybe just for a few minutes but i did see lewis, the man, and he is both interested and interesting, and very likeable. the wall might have gone back up by the time we get to bahrain because one of the things he said was that he still has three races to win this year...but i will always remember witnessing that moment of relaxed euphoria from the champ: turkey 2020."

Broke: Turkey is 4000 years old and existed in the form of the Turkic Khaganate

Woke: Turkey is, at oldest, the Ottoman Empire because that was when the identity of the Turkish nation, culture, and people became set in stone

Bespoke: Turkey was a tiny pipsqueak running around for a bit as one of the many Turkic tribes that migrated west before eventually inheriting the power of Seljuk and becoming the Ottoman Empire, so he is old, but he doesn't stretch as far back as the Turkic Khaganate since that's the origin of all Turkic nations and making Turkey the single sole representative of the Khaganate ignores the other Turkic identities and groups that developed from the Khaganate as well. The Turkic Khaganate also does not completely represent the ethnic makeup of Turkish people nowadays, as well as the ethnic makeup of other groups like Tatars and Kazakhs due to interactions with Persia, Mongols, and other Europeans. The reason why Turkey's perceived to be old is most likely his "old man fit" which is really just how any Turkish dude in Turkey dresses

8,000-Year-Old Female Figurine Found in Turkey

During the excavations carried out in the Ulucak Mound in the Kemalpaşa district of Izmir, an 8 thousand-year-old female statuette made of clay was found.

With the support of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Metropolitan Municipality, Kemalpaşa Municipality and Kemalpaşa Organized Industrial Zone , excavations continue in the 8,850-year-old Ulucak Mound, the oldest settlement in Izmir . Trakya University Faculty of Letters, Department of Protohistory and Near-Asian Archaeology, Prof. Dr. During this year's excavations at the mound, where Özlem Çevik took over the excavation directorate in 2009, an approximately 8 thousand-year-old female figurine was found.

Prof. stated that one of the first village settlements of Izmir was Ulucak Mound. Dr. Özlem Çevik said, "Ulucak represents one of the earliest farming village settlements in Western Anatolia. It is important for us to understand the neolithization process. The first settlement in the mound dates back to 8,850 years ago. Ulucak Höyük has been inhabited uninterruptedly for 1150 years, that is, for 45 five generations." We see that the neolithic settlement continues in this year's mound. One of the most important finds we have found so far is a female figure. Generally, we find parts of figures such as arms, legs and heads in Ulucak. "It is the 6th figure that has ever been found in its entirety," he said.

Emphasizing that the depicted female statuette can be predicted to have a privileged position within the community, Prof. Dr. Çevik said, "It may represent the person who lives here and tells stories in the community. It is made of clay. It is 8-10 centimeters in size. It can fit in a hand. It can be found inside houses, next to ovens, buried in pits under door thresholds, or in association with grinding stones , or in a "We find it associated with flints in the container. They may be ritual objects used to fulfill an intention, action or wish," he said.

Prof. pointed out that the most important element that distinguishes the female figurine found from others is that its mouth is indicated. Dr. Çevik said, "Because the figures usually show eyes and nose. In this figure, we see that the mouth is indicated as a hole, and a hole is made on the neck, which can be used as a jewelry."
