The 3,000-year-old secret to a successful business?
Since ancient times, sailors have believed that painting a blue eye onto their boats will protect them and ensure a successful voyage. In modern Turkey, fishermen continue this tradition by decorating their boats with the nazar boncuğu, eye-shaped talismans made from blue glass. The nazars are used to ward off the evil eye and protect the believer from jealousy and ill will.
