I just got back from Cappadocia! Also posted some videos today. I was there because of you. You were talking with such a big passion about this place that I decided to go and check it out. And I love it! Incredible place!
All of those little holes were for the pigeons to roost in so the the people could get there droppings and use it for fertilizer. At 8:39 into the video. So whenever you see the smaller holes that are obviously to small for a human that’s what they were for. We had one of the best guides we could of had I feel. He teaches at the University of Cappadocia and is also a tour guide. He said that the people don’t collect the droppings anymore because of the advances in fertilizer. Such an awesome place and when you know the real history there it really puts it all into perspective.
This is one of the most unique places I've seen in your videos, it looks really special. I'm liking the trip hop that's becoming more present in your videos nowadays too, very cool.
That’s an old Christian underground church. We were there with a guide who was from Turkey. We actually stayed at one of the cave hotels. Super freaking cool!!
Which cave did you stay at? I stayed at Emily's cave house for 2 months! Such a interesting experience, I loved waking at 4am sipping my cay ☕ and watching all the hot air balloons 🎈fly over, it was so magical in fact I had to do it and with no regrets. Türkiye is so enchanting, it's my favorite country of all! 🇹🇷👏
@@sunny_dhende6289 , I stayed at the Yunak Evleri Cappadocia Cave Hotel. It was a little ways away from where the Hot air Balloons were but we could still see them from our hotel. It’s such a magical place and it’s like you can feel all of the history there. I’m jealous you got to stay there for 2 months, I would love to do that! How much was it for you to stay at Emily’s Cave hotel per night or month? I’ll definitely be going back there again sometime!! Oh and that was in Ürgüp Turkey 🇹🇷
@@robertm9490 It was in the little town if Gorme and only 700tl a month which was about 110 usd back in 2016. Today the Turkish lyra is fantastic it would be like 87usd a month! I also rented a SUV for 135usd a month. I lived in Istanbul for 7 years just so I could travel to all regions of Turkey and throughly enjoyed it! I consider Türkiye my second home. I covered alot of miles but still so much more to see. I hope you get a chance to go back and travel more throughout that enchanting country. Happy trails, traveling does a body good.😁🧳🛫🛬✌
This is why we travel. Looks like a whole different planet. Turkey was already the place at the top of my list I wanted to go to, the meeting of Asia and Europe, all that history of the Silk Road, and astounding places like in this video. Stay safe mate. Thank you Gabriel.
Looks like an incredible place to explore. I just got back from a 8 country trip 13 days ago, but I need to see Cappadocia now! Wish me luck as I ask my wife for permission to leave in a couple days. Thanks for a great video Gabriel!
He's over there and don't have freedom of movement for Europe and the world is mostly closed, particularly to Americans though he's also Canadian which is likely the passport he's traveling on for Canadians aren't as restricted now.
Loved your intro music...perfect segway. So fascinating Gabe. I can't help but wonder about living in those ancient ruins/housing and the safety of it. Not just because of the fact that the earth shifts but the strength of the structure after thousands of years. What did you learn about this on your visit there? Man. Incredible.
Watching your videos changed my ideas about Turkey..i never thought there were so much to see in there, now i know.. and i want to go there too one day..
Your trip to Cappadocia last November inspired me to go to there early this year before COVID. I did a long hike through Love Valley from Göreme to Uçhisar (about 6 km). Truly mesmerizing and unforgettable.
So when u went into the cave and saw those shelves things, those actually were used for Pigeons. Their dropping were used as fertilizer as this was mostly a farming community. I learned this from my time their 7 years ago. Absolutely stunning place! Thank you for posting!❤️
I've followed since 2015 prior to leaving on my current adventures in Central America and South America that were not planned initially. 1 month vacation has expanded to now 5 years of traveling adventures My Only complaint is when you pan your camera to show us the environment, you still go too fast.. I am Still watching and Love your videos
I think it would be cool to be a backpacker tourist for life. If you have a residual income, then it's fish on. I won't stay and stay until I'm out of money though and then can't go now that I have a full time job. I actually seen begging Western tourists in Thailand and Korea who were probably broke English teachers not going back to work soon enough.
I’m sooooo freaking jealous! I hate that Cappadocia is still on my bucket list and you’ve now been multiple times lol. Awesome video as always, so glad I found you all those years back✌️❤️
Those many small holes in the walls are called dovecotes. They kept doves. Absolutely love Turkey, my best trip ever. Cappodocia is so wonderful. The amazing history of the country, the cultural melting pot and lovely people. We were treated so kindly. Have to get back, still so much to explore.
Cool. They were stinky pigeon boxes! I thought those rooms could have been small business shops during the centuries past. Thanks for telling as that makes sense for the pigeon was an important food source for them back in the stone ages before chickens were common place. Those birds are so funny. They come up to you for free food and will even enter your apartment, but will never trust us as if we're going to snatch and kill them. I'm like, 'bird I would not eat you for the grocery store sells plump chickens.' I imagine Cappadocia stank to high heavens in centuries past for there were no toilets and running water nor bleach and water hoses to clean the rooms.
Thought of you Gabriel when I heard about the earthquake, glad you were not in the area! Someone is looking over you 😊❤🙏 absolutely beautiful sights to see all the caves. Thank you Gabriel! Stay safe my friend! 😊❤
So this is what I think. Rock carving must have advanced at some point, probably around 10-15K years ago. And the first uses were making tombs in the side of rock mountains, like you see here. This tech spread all over the ancient world, even to the Americas. And then the Egyptian Pyramids were trying to recreate the rock mountain tombs. Since they did not have mountains in the desert in Egypt, they made their own mountains.
Meh...a bunch of old rocks. Jk...Cappadocia is one of the most spectacular places on Earth. Gr8 music in the video here, man! Btw: Make sure to include some night footage of Göreme, it looks frickin amazing!
Your videos amaze me every time but I really enjoyed these last 2. So interesting to see how life was back then during the Bible days compared to life now. I'm just in awe as to how people once lived. I thank God every day for what I have. Back then life was more simple but probably harder as well. Thanks, Gabriel
Thanks for another great tour !! ...watching these magnificent wonders I got on mind The Flintstones and the Smurfs 😉...wondering if their story roots were inspired by this cave world 😀
Magnificent. ...Aazing ..i recently visited this kinda a cave in Gerome , Turkey..July 2022 .I got the chance to stay in Cave Hotel ..Oktihisar Cave Hotel in Cappadocia.In ancient time..The Anchient King(Kings) lived there in the cave for decades..then people started occupied the cave for also decade either for till 1980s..
Nice. It doesn't seem like Corona World there. Tourism is open there, but probably slow business. Looks like a nice backpacker tourist scene. Gabriel has to be the only American backpacker on the other side of the world now. Thanks for producing a most rare video in 2020 on international travels.
Hi Gabriel, The last time you were there you stay in a nice hotel In Goreme. The land itself is very harsh and many of those trees look like they have been brought in from somewhere else the original people who live there must have had goats and fig trees and certain other vegetables and livestock you don't see it because the town has been commercialized.
When in Goreme or Nevsehir I visited a tea (chi) house in one of the stone structures that had, I believe 3-4 levels with narrow stairways up inside to each level. If you're still there it is worth a visit.
12:58 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ *Ömer Halisdemir* A soldier who shot alone one of the leading generals who has tryed the coup attempt at 2016. Even knowing he''s gonna be killed by the generals entourage right after. His sacrify was one of the important actions which let the coup attemp fail within one night. And this picture on the monument seams to remembering the people who has stopped the coup attempt.
Did you mention why so many churches are in the caves? Christian used to lived in the caves to escape prosecution. The caves are easy to carved due to the poreporous materials in the formation. It's easy to crash when the tour guide show us
I was on another site not long ago, and someone mentioned wanting to go to Turkey. Someone else responded--"What's in Turkey? NOBODY wants to go on vacation to Turkey". I found that amusing, because I have long known about the beauty and amazing things to see in Turkey. Are they not teaching geography and ancient history in the schools anymore? Even if they're not--that's no excuse to stay ignorant about the world we live in. Needless to say--I corrected that person's misconception.
i highly recommend you to visit Gumusler Monastary in Nigde where is hidden beauty in central Turkey. it is not hyped like any other archeological sites in Turkey. You put different work and effort besides any other traveller vloggers. you are very welcome to our country edit: The only smiling Virgin Marie figure is in this monastary. Actually she smiles :)
You know, they must have had some kind of grinding machine to make all that. Maybe a sander rock wheel attached to and powered with some kind of foot pedal, ala Fred Flintstone.
Or maybe, they just broke everything up into large chunks first. With some kind of chipped cracks and then leverage to pry it off. Then final step, they sanded it.
I am replying to myself, lol. And further thought, with the large rock chunks they chipped off, they took those and made those large stones into some kind of free standing temples or building someplace. Maybe brought them far away for that too.
All those cubby holes are from something called a dovecote, back in the day, pigeons and doves were kept for messaging, their meat, and eggs. The eggs especially were considered delicacy, but yeah. You can find dovecotes all over the uk, Europe and the Middle East, some of which are truly ancient. Edit: as you likely noticed, they had to keep multitudes of them to even come close to filling the requirement for consumption, looootsa birds lol
The internet says the rocks in which these tombs and homes are built are the remanants of volcanic cones created 15 million years ago. So fairly young in the geological timescale. At fist I thought they were made of limestone.

Cool, very. I'd also like to see more of the people and hear what they have to say. The history and scenery is amazing and the food looks really great so the Turkish people must be pretty cool, no? Are they friendly & outgoing and is English widely spoken there?

The land itself is very harsh and many of those trees look like they have been brought in from somewhere else the original people who live there must have had goats and fig trees and certain other vegetables and livestock you don't see it because the town has been commercialized.
The "shelving"system is pigeon coup,they are very common in ancient Turkish buildings.
When in Goreme or Nevsehir I visited a tea (chi) house in one of the stone structures that had, I believe 3-4 levels with narrow stairways up inside to each level. If you're still there it is worth a visit.

Gabriel what was the opening music. I liked it
Sorry I just read the caption. Thank you!!
So, Gabriel really did hitch a ride on a UFO and ended up on planet Cappadocia. He is a true and ultimate Traveler.
Beautiful place and not crowded at all..Exactly what we never get to see here in India
You know, they must have had some kind of grinding machine to make all that. Maybe a sander rock wheel attached to and powered with some kind of foot pedal, ala Fred Flintstone.
Or maybe, they just broke everything up into large chunks first. With some kind of chipped cracks and then leverage to pry it off. Then final step, they sanded it.
I am replying to myself, lol. And further thought, with the large rock chunks they chipped off, they took those and made those large stones into some kind of free standing temples or building someplace. Maybe brought them far away for that too.
Very enjoyable
great beautiful
22:21......I just watched Bald and Bankrupt's new video.....he too was staying in a nice hotel .....LoL
All those cubby holes are from something called a dovecote, back in the day, pigeons and doves were kept for messaging, their meat, and eggs. The eggs especially were considered delicacy, but yeah. You can find dovecotes all over the uk, Europe and the Middle East, some of which are truly ancient. Edit: as you likely noticed, they had to keep multitudes of them to even come close to filling the requirement for consumption, looootsa birds lol
Thanks for the info.
Thanks!
The internet says the rocks in which these tombs and homes are built are the remanants of volcanic cones created 15 million years ago. So fairly young in the geological timescale. At fist I thought they were made of limestone.
Amazing video thank you. I hope you go eastward to Diarbakir, Batman, van .....
the first cross was a Maltese cross, the second was an equal lateral cross, which means it predates Christianity.
The following explained Caves looks similar like Cappadokia:
Guyaju Caves
are the ruins of a cave complex that may have served as dwellings for a fortified community situated in a valley near present-day Dongmenying, Yanqing District, Beijing, China.
The origins of the community are mysterious due to uncertainty about the founding people and later disappearance of the community. It is presumed the ruins are about 1000 years old and date back to the last period of the Tang Dynasty and the beginning of the Liao Dynasty. The work is attributed to a Mongolic steppe tribe called Kumo Xi.
The site is composed of 117 caves and more than 350 rooms and halls. The cave rooms are packed close to each other and in some places are cut at different levels of the same cliff face, giving the appearance of a multistory building. Every room has its defined purpose: communal events, royal quarters, religious rituals, cooking, storage, livestock, living, etc. It has its own drainage and water storage system.
Cool, very. I'd also like to see more of the people and hear what they have to say. The history and scenery is amazing and the food looks really great so the Turkish people must be pretty cool, no? Are they friendly & outgoing and is English widely spoken there?
I came , I saw I like
Amazing place. Looks like a child's playground. Do you know why this particular area has these formations?
Lava.
The whole complex was built in 1987 for a sci-fi movie that was to star the actor Lorne Greene and Olivia Newton John. They are constructed of concrete and horse hair. The funding for the film was withdrawn by the mafia who were under severe financial strain due a new crime bill. The idea of the movie was recently revived with money from Welsh miners benevolent fund, but after constructing more phallic houses again funding ceased when it was discovered the Greene had passed away on 11th Feb 1997.
Thank God you left the area Gabriel...it was a very strong hit, many casualties unfortunately :(
Yes, very very sad.
I'd love to fly out there and buy you a beer. But unfortunately my government (UK) have now banned all tourist flights out of the country.
Wow, really? That's hardcore.
you the best man ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍
What a "trip"!
My faith in humanity through this video was restrored
Min.9,10 I guess they raised birds in caves like pigeons,maybe chickens in those little carved places👍also before that room was a pool👍Thank’s💞regards from us🇨🇦too💞
I wonder if all the holes in the caves were for something like chickens?
Pigeons.....for food and fertilizer....in those little cubby holes......a pigeon loft
