Alp Kırşan's trip to Şırnak begins. This time, Alp is visiting Şırnak, a lesser-known city in the east. Şırnak is called Şehr-i Nuh (City of Noah). There is also a tomb in the city claimed to belong to Prophet Noah. But where is Noah's Ark really? Mount Ararat or Mount Cudi? This week, "Alp on the Road" visits Şırnak, where Mount Cudi, believed to be the landing site of Noah's Ark, is located.
In this episode, we visit the Tomb of Prophet Noah in Cizre, Şırnak, considered the second father of humanity. From the robots of Al-Jazari, the father of cybernetics, to the legendary love story of Mem u Zin; from Yazidi villages to Syriac monasteries, we explore the mystical face of Mesopotamia firsthand.
We get lost while searching for a swing in the Hell Creek Canyon. We wander the streets of Cizre and listen to Dengbej melodies.
It's called "Shal u Shepik," and we're visiting the Red Madrasa and the Grand Mosque of Cizre.
