    Hi Gabriel. I find it fascinating that there are corbelled houses in Turkey. In the Northern Cape in South Africa there are these houses scattered around the area, believed to be built by migrating stock(sheep,goat) farmers. The landscape and vegetation in the Northern Cape is similar to the area you visited with day temps reaching 40 C. If you come to SA be sure to visit us on the Garden Route. you wont be disappointed. Thanks for a great vid.

    I think the first inhabitants were way back in 1967. They were a hippy community from Pasadena who settled there for about eight years. The myth about the caves being inhabited for thousands of years was brought about by the then Turkish tourist board with some success.
