the same rom, just don't you have to shape house because the and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves will support. we choose to look for common ground, the the wires and why in this control if i give borrowed money and us for in this, the shot. and i showed order for not imagine just a lot of green scans when i knew what the subject georgia stove session on the shiny or just is fun. you bought new born. you sit on what's in the, the media,

the, the, the we are in august on one of the most ethnically and culturally diverse regions on the entire planet. in fact, this city there been states all the way back to 8th century b. c. and was an important cultural stop on the great so way, which means it's a perfect place for us to jump right in and get a feel for everything. the

what does ally means that is a local historian, musician and guy with

a special passion and connection to douglas dining culture the as well. thanks for meeting me here in trucks. it's a beautiful, beautiful area. um, so let's get right into a druggist on a 30 different ethnic groups. 14 different languages about 200 different dialects. how can you have so much diversity in such a small, small space? little boy, 2 of the arabs and other travelers who came here. i used to say that i guess done was not just a land of mountains, but also a mountain of languages that i'm a good people living on each mountain spoke to own language. but most of the cars, the go to both we as the roads were barely possible, that will get through the settlements had little contact with each other. so different places had their own different languages, different customs, and different cultures that instead of the, of the kids as me, which it doesn't include to, to, even today. so when you literally go past the next hill, you'll hear a different language come through, boys. they come speak, doug,

and that gives other speak luck and a lot of those speak lives getting go on the bus out and coming up for both of them . so impossible. mountains go to eat and it's the nature of people i knew they'd like to be different from everyone else at the. traditionally, they're attached to what they say is their own language croft and so on. the rest of the 2 languages and doug is down today because it goes up each, unfortunately $25.00 a likely to go extinct in the near future because language is a disappearing. but just like in the rest of the world, because, and that's very sad, is this a regression will do some scary. so on the issue of how much the calculus to meet a lot of the cases with so much diversity. it's still incredible that there isn't any in fighting. in fact, there's a word that i believe you have. it's called good. see meaning, highlander? what does this word mean to you? what does it mean to be good? see here, and i guess don't go to the people who are free, feel free like an eagle or the highlander is self sufficient. some of the stuff

actually as we say, new people in the mountains entre rich that are great, all self sufficient purposes. if i have enough focus, i'm put some of highlanders and guardians of land a bit. it goes into the little settlements were built in how to reach spots where agriculture was impossible, was miserable. and the name dug as done itself means a land of mountains. so that makes the old douglas dani people who go to the phone . if a boat jeff are good, when someone does a good job, people praise him and we don't get our a real gun. it's being called a gun. it's weird because a sign of recognition from the local people. you're talking about relationships between people. everyone here is open their friendly and they help each other. in fact, i've, i've seen this with my own eyes. people can walk into someone's house and there's so much hospitality. but i've also heard that the mountain people are tough. it seems like a paradox. can you explain this paradox to me? no. well, you can walk into any highlanders home and be there on

a guest. not just on big holidays and most are going to go. so you can do that at any time close for park. as we say, a guest is a messenger from, i'll probably just send it with us and doesn't just show up in a mountain village for no reason the election is if he's here because he must need something that's one of and the highlanders who hosts job is to help that person, the best way he can so that the visitor is comfortable and the quotes of the guest gets the best room, the best food and the best treatment and up to date when you get the money. at the same time, a harsh conditions with temperatures dropping sharply, a nice product must have influenced the local character as well. we saw people can easily get relaxed, but that tempers rise just as quickly difficult was we'll, there's like a muscle that contracts and relax is going on with it. but maybe that explains the paradox item that it's on that. and that's what i think, at least a, someone who lives here we go to work at that. it was just steve and getting it here today. it is not that easy. living in the mountains is hard. why do people choose

this life to live up here? away from all technology away from all civilization. what pick them up as i said before, and then go to the highlanders. main treasure is freedom in the venue with a football. do you think it was he felt free in places like this? there was no wall surrounding him, but if nothing blocking is vision there so we can see an enemy more, a friend approaching from long way away boy is so if you have a special climate, so people found their roots here are 2. and once they settled for whatever reason, they go to death lands on mountain terraces and they were self sufficient in bush and they had everything they needed. yes, i think the right alpine meadows above the terrace farming below, there was some gardens where you can at least grow apples and pass it. and that was enough to sustain life here in the mountains. you just gotta have things where it's a little before it's fast moving. i have to ask because you look amazing and tell

me about which way. well, i mean uh, between uh, this is traditional highland dress. when you start out at 1st they will white. but during the caucasian will they will mostly read so that wounds wouldn't be so visible. and that's why we have this joke and august on the red is the have a color 5th. a jetta cask special breast pockets. the rifle charges the very next in flint deluxe. we used the multiples. i can put you because i see that in that does the pockets help to reload quickly will display. it was easy to remove cartridges when lying down, which is much easier than from a cartridge. belt in little prepared to get a cartridge out to a belt, you have to raise the upper part of your body even only a little cut up more and become a target. so we see that puckett allowed you to reload and shoot on the well staying pressed to the ground. but it's what that if it's to do this here is just an element of the cost to him. but also a reminder is the highlander is always ready to help and is this the need arises, are coming from, but you're not supposed to pull your out of its scabbard without good reason. and it took them according to us saying, put in order to wear

a danco around your belt and that you need, nope, just to have a pass code on your head vision, but also a head under your password. and that means that you're supposed to think twice before using a dagger with even a familiar with the even when got. so you would get into a fight, stepping your opponents with a good like this was considered the calendars and made you a target of a blood feud, or missed you. he was supposed to slash in order to stop your opponent, to assume that you can cut his wrist. but stabbing meant killing to kinda know religion. can somebody from pointing at a person like this is perceived as a threat, but you're not supposed to do it most part of it. even if i just do this, i'll have to answer for this threat to the almighty. if it needs it. so a dagger is just a deterrent go. it but she fits the budget, was a little some new parents solution for just that for sure. i see. i have so many more questions for you. and i also know that you are a musician, so i'm fascinated to care on this conversation someplace else. ready. the

so i have to say this is a beautiful, incredibly interesting instrument. tell me the story. what do we have here on the instrument like any of our language we called this instrument on time or more pandora in russian with the it's the oldest musical instrument in the mountains, got off a young guy fell in love with a girl, but failed to win a hand in marriage, so he killed his family, go to come and jump down his knee tree in the middle because he was the owner of the only one dagger. and then he made this instrument with strings fashion from the gods gods shun. then he sang a very bitter song about unrequited love system, and that's the story of how psalms and this instrument appeared in the mountains,

the gulf coast, with all mountain songs of very long and have very profound meanings sections in the back. in the day one could get a whole sore and oaks as payment for a song just as the words web, a very highly prized here in the mountains. and so with songs for go business, those very cool. um, one thing that i can't miss here are all of the terraces. um, obviously they're not natural, but they've been here for thousands of years. how are they made and why does the terraces here and show me with a 1st example of green terrace funding and the well behind the village of charles that's on the other side of that real quick a chose the site of the chalk settlements. we do what they think back to the 6 or 7000 years, b, c. and it's very ancient. it's thought to be near listen to it outside of these terraces of very, very old would that these lands sustain the full fathers? not far from here is a small goes to town or village called it comes to little or it's

a little bit haunting and some people are calling it the much a picture of august on why did everyone pick up and leave from this area? a little disappointing of us, we do coal gums, so to the ghost village and some refer to it as the my 2 peach who lived, i guess, done one of them. it's a unique place that's just behind the back. so saluted parking. people have been to the doctor, a heavy rain full in 1963 when it was raining and august down for 3 straight months . most a bridge down below was washed away and so it comes to to, it was left without a bridge for several years. you were the most i am by children, began to ask the parents to come down from the village. it would be great, of course to revive gums with one. it was a very interesting village because there's been no language. we call it ramos, or i'm sort of looks chest in the mountains and it's never been captured. and it's fascinating. so we're from brooklyn. there are many villages like that doesn't, can nipples of why you think it's a little bit. unfortunately,

every year goes to village is a parent that gets done because people are leaving this apartment. i hope so. the next. so that will be a program and over a public to preserve the mountains and support the highlanders who still lived. so it's not so easy to live here, but it really is amazing or, and this is all and our roots are here and what kind of co, secular, cause there was no other place in the world that we'd rather be coordinate. you kind of stuff with them because we've gotten which i want to thank you for an incredibly interesting conversation and for helping us get a better feel for what august done is all about. appreciate it so much. thank you. i'm glad you've enjoyed it. i hope you've attempted august down again and again. i will always be happy to have you here. your on cool now canal as we say in the mountains. so look, my home is your home. the home belongs to the one who lives in it. you're welcome to doug is done because some especially about conditioning. so the fish dangerous beauty towards describes the landscape of doug

a stock. perhaps no one in bodies that idea more than ever eccentric. camille, my myers, he and his family have been practicing the art of types of booking for 6 generations . camille. hi. so i see in a 2nd. so it's what's right home. well, camille, thank you for coming down to see me because there's no way that you are going to catch me up there on the rope. so thank you for that. um, let's get right into it. why is your village specifically known for type? rote walk and how did this art evolve? and why do you do it? not civil village didn't invent type, right? walking or anything like that, but at some point, many people started practicing this stores. most of they saw it and then expose the

data around the world workspace. people from my village have worked with many sexes by here and abroad was that's how a village came to be known as the capital of type, right walking. they mostly did that to any living with intake, and we know it's dangerous through all of the risk. what's in it for you specifically? why do you personally do this? this has become my purpose in life. i tradition and i consider it my duty to pass it onto the next generation to improve it. i want it to become old modem and then make it safer as well. but it's, do you ever get scared? i mean, what's going through your mind when you're up there on the rope, and like what do you feel is always scary on the right for every one case scan, this is normal. you just need to relax and be aware that there is danger and there is fear. so i use the safety harness. i know it's safe for you and i try to keep my fair in check. if i need one more, you train the easier it gets you to live with. so we know that there is a lot of physical work in what you do. i mean it, it takes

a sportsman to be able to have that type of control over your body. is it all about your talent and what you can do physically or is there a special mindset that you have to get into physically, anyone can walk and type, right? my mass of what that range of weights was that there are different varieties of this slack line trick line, borderline, etc. right? some of the young type, right walkers do tricks. those who are afraid of heights can do long line walkers very the right. as long god, but it's low, you don't have to get up so high so everyone can find something that works for them . that was, that was that, is that and final question is, we know this is your job. we know you're very good at what you do. does it bring you joy? or that yes he does. i love what i do, but it's tough boy, the times i've thought about quitting, but those thoughts are behind me. now as i have a goal and i'm going to achieve it to that, i see my main task is to make this a safe environment for the next generation. so they can learn and frame i very my performances and introduce new tricks to get them interested. i want to make type, right, walking popular in to thank you for an interesting conversation. i just want to say

stay safe. c as you make your way through the august on you will discover each region is known for its own unique arts and traditions. since at least the 4th century b, c, the people of the top of cetera key area have been making more of the same as carpets by hand. and that is totally model of is going a step further to preserve the ancient arts using only natural colors the. this is really cool to be able to be here where they're actually making these carpets. so as i understand these, a carpet started off, it's something more practical to keep homes warm, but now they're an incredible art for them. how did this transition happened? they loved ones. that was the disease design surveys or whatever, like in the old days, up to 2000 years ago and the comp into a produce the purely practical purposes to keep your home or some of the things

that i took. comping we've is turned into real august 5th april a bid would now be called designers. but those own design has created these unique path and the some carpets to different beverly to when you're gardening different. i know that it's more than just beautiful designs that we have here in these carpets. but there's more of a code inside them as well. can you translate some of what this code means in some of these carpets for me that is fits in. uh yes, it's true. you could say those history and these rugs, a story that design show every day objects. one of the things that surround people in that daily lives with me at the board of that was reflected in compet happened. this was ready to be those things were connected with the culture of a specific area. the square footage region had its own designs, which one named off to the regions i'm villages or towns where those carpets were made to give a video. and that's good. i understand you're going to show us your uh, a workshop. we actually make the colors. i can't wait to see that we're doing. it

will be good to show you our work. and the art is passed down from generation to generation, with each individual learning their role from an early age. so this is an amazing experience to be able to watch you work. i can tell you that my mom would be fascinated with this experience right now. so this is a pretty big rug. how long does it take to make a rug, besides, or even just a normal size rug, a smart thing to use it? if there's no other work to be done, it's obviously a quicker process. the. so if she only focuses on the carpet, she can, we've just about one square meter per month or the last name yet that's, that's good, very cool. and how many people does it take to work on one specific rug, which is sort of a big grad like that needs about 5 weavers working 6 to 8 hours per day. and i should say, i lost it. so i definitely would. there's no formal education for carpet weavers.

when girls are 6 to 8 years old, they are taught how to make not sweet. these are simple improvements like this. and then over time, a girl learns this crap from her mother or grandmother of again, there's no formal training, it's a gradual process. first, it's not in pattern making. then the threatening of left over time any girl can learn or just every weaver choose is a design herself to colors are selected intuitively based on how they look together when you're leaving. and you see this beautiful pattern emerge. and it's very pleasing, yes. and when the carpet is finished, your neighbors and relatives usually come to take a look. i will make rug is a source of pride at a good invest. well, thank you for taking the time to show me. it is fascinating the semester but the so this is a carpet that you've been working on. it's almost finished. lots of intricate

designs. beautiful color is, but to me it tells a story. so tell me the story of what this carpet says. position is a dragon. drag and means power on energy it though it stands for beauty that absorbs everything. so that's the body of the dragon. contains all these different elements would cause the dragon's head cooling over here is this body arms and legs which mean watching this is a highly unusual pass the typical of our culture and reflected in this rug with nashik with respect to make it copied like this comes you need special colors. it has some unusual hughes that this is rose. matter, on this color comes from problems that only grow and douglas done, that you still can't get this beautiful green shade anywhere else over the green is the symbol of the dragon, is very beautiful. you normally see it watching. christie would see it. i'm surrounded by all of these yarns that are vibrant and rich in color. how exactly are they made?

no sense. it's all these colors come from different ponds. seeing you, i'm holding rose meant a room in the confused to produce rent dies, asked me if we make different shades of red from rose mazda, somebody to that comes from will not terry come different plants who used to make different colors around the kristin and deal with that housing, if you have time, do you feel like a kid with a coloring book in some crowns when you're in, they're making these colors? what's going to your mind when you're actually doing the process? okay, and you're familiar with that kind of, it certainly isn't in throwing process that the deal is making a di depends on many things and including your mood to look at all these reds page, rick, red, and other hughes. the exact shade depends on minute factors, which i mean, so it does in school and captivate you just truly like a child was evaluated. so you're gonna keep, you should get yourself, are you going to tell me the secrets so that i can help make some colors as well? yeah my what presently if i could share doesn't secrets. but there are many hundreds and thousands of faces because the aging, each color is an odd says,

which leads you to discover new secrets. therefore, the no. so i can share any secret with you, no problem, just to give them a good thing and that'd be my guest. i mean, yet. thank you very much. it's been a pleasure of seeing where you work. thanks sarah. pacific. c moving deeper into the caucasus mountains, you will find the village of coupon sheet, well known for a few 1000 years for the exquisite silversmith. russell could tell you if is one of them is an incredibly rare experience for someone to come inside the workshop and see where the magic happens. so thank you for this and honor. for me, i have to ask the technology that is used to make this beautiful jewelry dates back thousands of years a how have you preserved it? how does it stay the same for so long stick? the combined to jewelry is always because of this cool feature. because you own

a months the designs are my favorite, main pretty consistent for the 1000 years. well, you mentioned in combustion in the history here. i'm interested in how this one specific place became famous for jewelry. and what's your story? how did you get involved this many legends about persian all french influence is sometimes people, quote, french or francs on schools. i mean the idea being with some foreigners specialty or in the mountains, but i started making weaponry and those anymore. but these are just missed them. unfortunately, it was no historical data about how it all began and what we know about 6 or 7 generations of our families to me, and they've always been a jewelers amongst us, where you might what up until this day is this something that has taught and such an early age like, is it a skill like reading and writing? i mean, the work is so intricate. the last for the 2. 0, children have hammers and bits of color and silver as that choice because they have no way trying to make stuff. so they acquire these skills before they learn how to

work. and i look through as they get older, they see them making something beautiful and they see them helping visits. and so these family traditions, i'm family family is open, served see me and they used to sing this and develop a says an inclination. and yeah, it's like when they start school, that's when we begin teaching them for them from 1st grade onwards, missed and just as they learn to write, they then the grammar. but she might as well which is going as close to are they just beautiful designs or do they tell a story? what, what do they mean? can you tell me what is behind the meaning of these different beautiful designs and the jewelry, wrist of my mental and some sort of sleep and all our designs would devise from nature inspired by file is etc. so those natural shades would be modified, them broken down into a different shape. so bring out the beauty of cuz this julio office has his own imagination as his own little quick. so just be, i mean usually every person is different to the, even in

a small bracelet like this. so you can see that each link is different from the rest because it's all are made on the yeah, that must it up because i always say the shop employee of sold into every pc create called as well as all the knowledge. even kimberly just pulled over the decades deceptive thinking for an interesting conversation and a very fascinating experience, depression. but she looked. c just as fascinating as the hardest treat income, but she is the traditional culture, still respected in the daily life of people here. this is an incredible space. thanks for taking the time to speak to me here. so it's my understanding that women help out in the process of making the jewelry here as well, in terms of blackening and in other ways. are there certain parts of the job that are only for women and only for man? talk to me a little bit about time. are the most ation for me. yes. all the men do. how

demanded judy making help. the blind enamel was blackening with additional engraving project. so there and holding some of the processes, a lot of the man handle tasks to do with assembling, polishing the nation and craving horses, which is a challenging process i bought from all the silver work. i mean most women also do embroidery conversation the shop. okay. my to wish of course, if you don't mind me asking, i see that you're wearing a beautiful headscarf. and my understanding is that this means something here and come back to you is that a woman bring headscarf? it tells a story. so what does this mean? can you tell me about that? the if yes, it's all traditional. it's a bunch ahead scoff, it's called cause cause i'm buried. a married woman is causing sanctioning. so a cause tells you the marital status of it. where is all mothers? grandmothers giving us and great grandmothers born these kosky, we put them on to live in the house. i'm losing the least cause i am voided by the

women of culture themselves partnership because i want to show you my collection at the will. some of this cause of so married in san for unmarried government, out of it you, this one is made in scoffing me some which you can tell, but sort of tassels. you had a band with some personal patterns this morning and you'll see all those us cost that i, where the effort remarried. you might know of what am i able to use of look at this as being very, i'm working on right now. well, i just started it in my past, enjoy design, and then begin to embroider. it's very beautiful and this is something you're working on right now. no, yes, i'm working on it now. incredibly interesting. thank you very much for taking the time to show us part of your culture. it incredibly fascinating. look at the english. so the,
