I Came,I Saw,I Learned

Have you ever heard the phrase “Veni, Vidi, Vici”? This famous saying by Julius Ceasar came from his fast victory over Pontus in Turkey, which is a country in the Middle East. The phrase means “I came, I saw, I conquered”. This area in Turkey near the Black Sea is said to be a sweet kingdom. Some other cool things about this Middle Eastern country is that Turkey is the 37th largest country in the world. It is also bordered by 3 different seas, the Black Sea, the Mediterranean Sea and the Aegean Sea. And did you know that while Turkey is a bird name, the country also has over 472 species of birds there?
