    Oh my my what a beautiful way to go into & down Memory Lane - with the background music you close your eyes & imagine being in this place of awe & wonder, how the people lived, obviously liked their existence in such a place. I understand for most of these ancient peoples there was no choice but oh my how well this place sheltered the Peoples of that time in History. Again what a memory & what a place, thank you for sharing - love History of this ILK.

    The underground towns/cities and cave systems were created between the late 7th-9th centuries when Roman Syria was lost, and Arab raids into Anatolia made the Cappadocia region and the Taurus mountains a no-man's-land. The area was again under Roman control in the 10th century, and fell to the Turks in the 11th/12th centuries.

    Gabriel and guys I just came back from there and I cannot figure out one thing, I probably cannot rest in peace before knowing this...
    As we can see in the video, there are a lot of houses on the very high places, how did old people get there? There were even people living there until 1950. I saw from another video that there are actually stairs in "the entrance" but where are they? Is that even true? I have been searching but I got nothing so far, just hoping somebody can tell me how

    • @GabrielTravelerVideos
      @GabrielTravelerVideos  2 роки тому

      Probably there were wooden structures including ladders that were built into the caves for access and also to create structures sticking out from the rock. I'm sure they looked a lot different when they were lived in. I'd sure love to see what it was really like when it was fully occupied.

    The greeks lived there for centuries and no issues with erosion. The Turks moved there and in decades the habitations eroded. The Turks often change the names once they take over but Cappadocia is pre Turkish. I lived in Istanbul/Constantinople 2006. Sadly I didn't make it to Cappadocia but I did see Troy. Cappadocia is pre Turkish as the video states.

    The insides of these caves look like they were fashioned out of some kind of poured cement like material, not chipped out of hard stone. Notice how there is no veining in the stone, it is very uniform? Plus, if they dug miles of these caves out of hard stone there would be massive piles of the debris that was removed. Where is all the debris? It's an amazing feat no matter how they did it but it appears to be made out of some primitive type of concrete.

    You have to take into consideration that there was the Armenian Genocide starting in 1915 which had populations that constituted the Assyrian genocide and Greek genocide. If you look up the numbers it states 1.5 million at least succumb to the Turkish genocide and those populations were Christian. That would account for much of this history.
