hi, division with no real opinions. fixtures designed to simplify will confuse really one say better wills, and is it just as a chosen for you, fractured images, presented as, but can you see through their illusion going underground? can the,

[000:00:00;00] 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 which, which means it's a perfect place for us to jump right in and get

a feel for everything. the what is a lead me though, 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 talks. it's a beautiful, beautiful area. um, so let's get right into the darkest 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? a 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 they've got a booth for you. i think the roads were barely possible that'll 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 other 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've done some speak, doug,

and that gives other speak, look, look, others speak, lives getting go to the southern. i'm the purpose of them. so impossible, mountains go to eat and it's the nature of people i knew they liked 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 done today because it goes to unfortunately $25.00 a likely to go extinct in the near future because language is a disappearing. they're just like in the rest of the world because and that's very sad. is this a musician will do some scary so on the issues and most the calculus to meet a we also have issues 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 go to see meaning highlander. what does this word mean to you? what does it mean to be good to hear and i guess don't go to the people who are free, so 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 of purpose and would you say have enough focus on right? some of highlanders and guardians of land a bit it goes into the little settlements were built and how to reach spots where agriculture was impossible, was miserable, and the name dug is done itself means a land of mountains. so that makes the old guess dani. people who go to the from, if a boat you have for 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 on more than that's not just on big holidays and most are going to go. so you can do that at any time for product 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 he is about to him. he's if he's here because he must need something that's one of the end. the highlanders who hosts job is to help that person the best way he can so that the visitor is comfortable enough to it. so the gas gets the best room, the best food here, the best treatment, and i put it when you get the money. at the same time, a harsh conditions with temperature is 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 as we do. it's like a muscle of contracts and relaxes, but i would say that maybe that explains the paradox item that it's one that that's what i think, at least as someone who lives here, we go to look at the resources even getting it here today. it is not that easy. um,

living in the mountains is hard. why do people choose this live to live up here, away from all technology away from all civilization. what pick them up as said before? and then go to the highlanders. main treasure was his freedom and the vendor with a sub would you give him his he felt free in places like this. there was no wall surrounding him to believe nothing. blocking is vision there, so you can see an enemy lot of friends approaching from long way away, boy is so if you have this special climate, so people found their roots here are 2. and once they settled for whatever reason, they go to the 1st lands on the mountain terraces. and they were self sufficient in bush and they had everything they needed you to, i think the right alpine meadows above to this 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 go to the front page. it's fast moving . i have to ask because you look amazing and tell me about which way. well, i mean uh,

this is traditional highland dress. so 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 read does the have a color with a jetta cask special, breast pockets. the rifle charges the very next. in flint deluxe, we used to multiples. i can put you because i see that in the pockets helped to reload quickly. well that's but it was easy to remove cartridges when lying down, which is much easier than from a cartridge belt in little to present, to get a cartridge out to a belt. you have to raise the upper part of your body, even though need a little cut up and become a target. so we see that puckett allowed you to reload and shoot on the well staying pressed to the ground. so good, it's what benefits 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 if the need arises, are coming from, but you're not supposed to pull your di alphabets scabbard without a good reason. and it took them according to all saying, put in order to where a dad go around your belt. if you need not just have

a pass code on your head vision, but also a head under your pastor. and that means that you're supposed to think twice before using a dagger. wouldn't even tell me what the even wind got. so you would get into a fight, stepping your opponent with a go like this was considered the calendars and made you a target of a blood feud, or missed to you was supposed to slash in order to stop your opponents cushion without even caught his wrist. but stabbing meant killing $200.00 religion and 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 they would also need to pay the tuition for just that for sure. and 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 already

the . so i have to say this is a beautiful, incredibly interesting instrument. tell me the story. what do we have here? um, the instrument like any of our language we call this instrument on time or not more pandora in russian. elizabeth a, 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 shop down his new tree. beautiful because he was the owner of the only one dagger. and then he made this instrument with strings fashion from the gods gods. and then he sang a very bitter song about unrequited love system. and that's the story of how songs and this instrument appeared in the mountains of faith with all mountain songs

a very long and have very profound meaning sections in the back in the day, one could get a whole sore. a knock says payment for a song, the words web a very highly right here in the mountains. and so what song see, what will go? isn't 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 2 of the terraces here and show me with a 1st example of green terrace funding and the well behind the village of charl. that's on the other side of that real quick is the site of the chalk settlements. we do what they think back to the 6 or 7000 years, b, c. and yeah, and it's very ancient. it's thought to be near the thick to us 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 it's

a little bit haunting and some people are calling it the much repeat you of august on. why did everyone pick up and leave from this area? i know this within the us, we do coal gum. so to the ghost village and some refer to it as the my 2 peach tree lived, i guess, done one of them. it's a unique place that's just behind the backs. so the park can people up end to the doctor, a heavy rain full in 1963. when it was raining and doug is done for 3 straight months. most a bridge down below was washed away. so gum, so 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. it's never been captured. it's fascinating. so we're from brooklyn. there are many villages like that doesn't, can nipples of what you like. so, but unfortunately, every year goes to village is

a parent that gets done because people are leaving pock, my hopes that the next or that will be a program and over a public to preserve the mountains and support the highlanders who still live that . so it's not so easy to live here, but it really is amazing or, and this is all and our roots are here with this kind of coast. secondly, because there was no other place in the world that we'd rather be coordinate. you kind of stuff with the nickel that we've had in which i want to thank you for an incredibly interesting conversation and for helping us get a better feel for what does this done is all about. appreciate it so much. thank you. i'm glad you've enjoyed it. before i hope you will attend to dentist down again and again, we'll always be happy to have you have your a cool knock. now, as we say in the mountains, look, my home is your home. i don't want the home belongs to the one who lives in it, and i'm sure welcome to doug is done because some, especially the condition to the fish was a dangerous beauty towards describes the landscape of doug

a stock. perhaps no one embodies that idea more. it's an ever eccentric camille, my my t and his family have been practicing the part of types of booking for 6 generations . camille. hi. so i'm seeing the 2nd. so it's so it's quite so 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 walking? how does 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 or says people from my village have worked with many sexes by here and abroad was just how of image came to be known as the capital of type. right, well ok, 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 is 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 safe for 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 everyone get scanned. 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 and check and find you more. you train the easier it gets what you list of what. so we know that there's 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? no matter what their range of weights, what are the they're all different varieties or based slack, line trick line, borderline, et cetera. some young type, right? walkers do tricks with those who are afraid of heights can do loan line walkers very the right ways loan 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? that yes, he does. so i love what i do, but it's tough. one of the times i've thought about quitting, but those thoughts behind me now is i have a goal and i'm going to achieve it to the rest of my main task is to make this a safe environment for the next generation. so they can learn and train 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 wanna say

stay safe. c as you make your way through the august time, 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 us that runs key area have been making world seem as carpets by hand and the total amount of his 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 happen? they loved ones that was the disease design, so they've, oh, it wouldn't be like in the old days of, to 2000 years ago and the comp into a produce a purely practical purposes to keep your home or separate of things that they took

. company we've is turned into a real office and put a face to people a bid, which would now be called designers. but those own design has created these unique path and some cop, it's beverly to when you've gotten a 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 more than the things that surround people in that daily lives with me at the bottom of that was reflected in compet pack. and this was ready to de, 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 it's good. i understand you're gonna show us your uh, a workshop. we actually make the colors. i can't wait to see that went to it will be good to show you our work because of

the 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 decides 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 stuff got 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 sped on us. it's not that can you? there's no formal education for carpet and weavers. when girls are 6 to 8 years old,

they are taught how to make not only these are simply movements like this. and then overtime 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 an pattern making then the threatening of west overtime. 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 emergent. 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 and best. well, thank you for taking the time to show me. it is fascinating. the semester about 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. dragon means power and energy it though it stands for beauty, that absorbs everything. that's the body of the dragon. contains all these different elements which gave was the dragon's head. cooling over here is this body arms and legs which mean watching this is a highly unusual pass and typical of all culture and reflected in this rug with nashik was pretty slow to make a copy like this comes, you need special colors. it has some unusual hughes that this is rose mazda 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 us. 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 pond. seeing you,

i'm holding rose meant a room in the could see used to produce rent dies investments. we make different shades of red from rose. matter in manually that comes from will not with terry comp. mutually different plants who used to make different colors is what i'm interested in and deal with or housing is 5th 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, you're familiar with that kind of, it certainly isn't in through learning process for that to do 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 exec shade depends on minute factors, which i mean, so it does in strong and captivate you is truly like a child. was a lot of it, right. so you're gonna keep decent. get yourself, are you going to tell me the secrets so that i can help make some colors as well? yeah, my, well presently, if i could share doesn't sequence, but there are many, hundreds and thousands based is because aging,

each color is an odd which leads you to discover new secrets. therefore the no so i can share any secret with you. no problem with any 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 she, well known for a few 1000 years for the exquisite silversmith russell could tell you if is one of them. it 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 because the technology that is used to make this beautiful jewelry dates back thousands of years or how have you preserved it? how does it stay the same for so long stick? the bunch of jewelry is always because of this cool feature,

because the ornaments the designs, unless they remain pretty consistent for a 1000 years. well, you mentioned in combustion you 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 quotes french or francs on fools. i mean, the idea being that some foreigners settled here in the mountains, but i started making weaponry. and as i came up with these adjustments, boom, unfortunately, there's no historical data about how it all began. and yet, we know about 6 or 7 generations of our families to me, and they've always been a jewelers amongst us. we've been like white up until this day. is that something that has taught and such an early age like? is it a skill like reading and writing? i mean the work is so interesting. the last for the 2. 0 children have him as a business. copeland silva is that choice because they have no way trying to make stuff, so they acquire the skills before they learn how to walk. and i look through as

they get older, they see that making something beautiful and they see them helping visits. and so these found the traditions i am, family, family is open served, see me and they used to sing this and develop a so as an inclination and yet, so when they started school, that's when moving him, teaching them to them from 1st grade onwards for missed just as they learn to write, they then the grammar, but she might as well which is going to 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 recently went on some sort of sleep and all our designs would divide from nature and supply by file is etc. so those natural shades would be modified, them broken down into different shapes to bring out the beauty of one of these 2 little officers has his own imagination as his own little quick. so just be a minute. and 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 her mates on the you can add most it up because i always say the sub employee of soul into every piece you create as well as all the knowledge either kimberly to or over the decades deceptive thinking for an interesting conversation and a very fascinating experience pressure especially about. c just as fascinating as the artistry think about 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 from and talk to me a little bit about time? of the most ancient?

yes. all the men do. how demanded judy making help. the blind enamel was blackening with additional engraving. part of it, so there and holding some of the process is led to the man handle tasks to do with assembling, polishing the nation and craving force, which is a challenging process i bought from all the civil work. i mean, most women also do embroidery and see the conversation, the shots, and i to wish of the way. if you don't mind me asking, i see that you're wearing a beautiful head scarf. 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 debauch. ahead scoff, it's called cause because i'm very, a married woman is cause is ation. so a cause tells you the marital status of which where is all mothers? look, grandmothers give my son great grandmothers born these coughs. they put them on to live in the house. and region with some least cause i am voted by the women of

culture themselves, but they're typical. so let me show you my collection of, of some of this cause of so married in san for unmarried government, out of history. this one is made in scoffing me some which you can tell, but sort of tassels. it had a band with some personal patterns. we'll see ya, those us cause 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 my task, enjoy a design and then begin to embroider. it's very beautiful. this is something you're working on right now. now. yes, i'm working on it now. it's incredibly interesting. thank you very much for taking the time to show us part of your culture. it incredibly fascinating. look at that. it was
