The World of Yor (Italian: Il mondo di Yor) is a 1983 Italian fantasy adventure miniseries created and written by Antonio Margheriti for RAI 1. The four-part serial, based on Eugenio Juan Zappietro and Juan Zanotto's 1974 Argentine comic series Yor the Hunter (Henga el cazador), would later be edited into a feature-length film, Yor: The Hunter from the Future. Yor is an extremely blond prehistoric warrior who comes to question his origins, particularly with regard to a mysterious medallion he wears. When he learns of a desert goddess who supposedly wears the same medallion, Yor decides that he must find her and learn his true identity. Along the way, he encounters ape-men, dinosaurs, and a strange futuristic society.
