King Menua was one of the well known Urartu kings because he had many monuments in Urartu land including Mesopotamia and Anatolia.

He became king in 800 BC and he decorated his land with architectural monuments. Military castles were important buildings in order to control the landscape of Urartu state. Beside the castles, the civil buildings and projects were done. The most important one was Şamiram Channel that even runs at present. Eastern Anatolia was the main landscape of Urartu. He was one of the personality that constructed history.

He is one of the hidden personalities that created history.

Nasreddin Hodja is the master of international humor. His jokes are his ways to show us the fact and truth even tough they gain pain. We learn them by laughing. I think that this way is better than painful way. Some samples;

Wear my fur wear

There used to be a dinner at the village. He attended this dinner with simple clothing. Nobody cared him and nobody offered him nothing. He got angry but he had something on his mind.

He came back to same dinner but this time he wore an expensive fur. This time everybody cared of him and they called him to the tables.

He had this statement; Wear my fur wear

Let me introduce you Nasreddin Hodja. I am sure that most of you know him and I would like to introduce him with details. He can be considered as a philosopher because his aim was to make people think on some attitudes. His way was to make jokes and he created comics to state facts. He is one of the biggest names of true humor even today;

He was born in Akşehir county of Konya province in the beginning of 13th century. He is also considered as a legendary personality. He had many jokes on showing the people true and beauty. Moral was everything for him. His legacy was his jokes to human being. Those emotions are universal so everybody can find anything for him from his jokes. He died through the end of 13th century. His tomb is in Akşehir of Konya province.

His outstanding feature was defined as sitting opposite on his donkey. His donkey is also as clever as hodja so sometimes he starred at Hodja’s jokes. We can’t separate his donkey from him.

An example of his jokes;

Boiler is dead……

One day Nasreddin Hodja borrowed a boiler from his neighbor. He put a smaller boiler inside when he returned the boiler to his neighbor. He told his neighbor that the boiler was born. He got happy.

Again he borrowed his boiler but he didn’t give it back. Neighbor asked for his boiler to Nasreddin Hodja. He replied as his boiler had passed away. He told Hodja that it wasn’t possible.

Hodja replied his neighbor that he believed in the birth of the boiler but he didn’t believe in death of boiler.
