We never get bored of any video you make in any place
Bored with your series on Turkey? Not hardly my friend. You have done a great job showing us
the history and beauty of Turkey. Rick Steves would be proud.
Gabriel, Cappadocia series blew my mind up! Such incredible, fascinating and magical place! Hoping your next destination will be as gorgeous as Turkey. Thumbs up!
Turkey is just so beautiful 😍
pepole like gabe who makes me inspire to travel ...
Thanks for sharing your journey with us Gabriel....I'm locked down in Scotland but feel like I've travelled to all these countries with you since you left Mexico! Turkey has been totally amazing.... Cheers!
Enjoyed seeing Cappadocia again without having walk and climb, great job
Thank you bro. Being a pastor i want to visit all these places. But you showed all these places
Wonderful place. Very beautiful video. Nice creation. Great work friend.
Just stunning! We could never get bored of these videos. They are all fascinating and incredible quality❤️
Loving these Cappadocia vlogs. Keep more coming!

Keep looking for more places to be discovered
🍀Hi.. Gabriel.. Amazing video... Grazie mille... Take care of yourself and stay safe and healthy 👍👍👍🍀🍀🍀
Really amazing Capadocia is! Knowing that people lived there for thousands of years fills you with excitement. Im hoping one day i'll have the chance to go and travel there aswell.
From Wiki- This is a some of the approximately 40,000 caves , which provide an important tourist attraction for the country. There are such a high number due to karstification in the west and central Taurus Mountains. Karst is a topography formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, dolomite, and gypsum. It is characterized by underground drainage systems with sinkholes and caves. It has also been documented for more weathering-resistant rocks, such as quartzite, given the right conditions. Subterranean drainage may limit surface water, with few to no rivers or lakes. However, in regions where the dissolved bedrock is covered (perhaps by debris) or confined by one or more superimposed non-soluble rock strata, distinctive karst features may occur only at subsurface levels and can be totally missing above ground.
The study of karst is considered of prime importance in petroleum geology because as much as 50% of the world's hydrocarbon reserves are hosted in porous karst systems.
WOWW..a real geology lesson....👍👍
@@michaelahass2695 Thanks. Although that was just me repeating WIkipedia.
@@saratemp790
Very informative.
Thank you Sylvia 👍
So my theory is, this area is instrumental in the development of human civilization. Because of the abundance of easy caves in the area, and hopefully there were more rivers there in the old days with fish, and the mild climate, this area attracted a large number of early humans. And was maybe one of the first bigger population centers. Leading to our early signs of more organized civilization, such as Gobekli and the Anatolian farmers.
Probably some truth to that, except that Gobekli Tepe is 12,000 years old so probably existed before the civilizations that carved out the caves in Cappadocia. Many of them were created during the Byzantine area, less than 2,000 years ago, although many are much older, such as the temple I showed in the previous video which is apparently 4,000 years old.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Okay true, many caves are younger. But I am sure there are a lot of natural caves there, not just there, but in wider areas of Turkey, because the whole of Turkey has many cave areas due to the geology there, that were used by ancient man. And one thing to consider, maybe some of those caves were older, but then recarved out and enlarged more later, once the tools got better. So they appear younger, but aren't.
@@saratemp790 Yes, those are all relevant points. As far as I know it's quite unknown when exactly the first people started living in caves there so it's certainly possible that they were there 12,000 years ago or even earlier. Either way it's mind-boggling history.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Yes I believe it must have happened earlier. We always hear about 'cave men'. Well, here are the caves. Plus the weather is good. Maybe they have underground water there. This is the place. Or at least one of the main places.
Humans were created 200k years ago!
Good morning Gabriel enjoy your day buddy
One of few knowledgeable travelers out there.You not just take us to the place but to the history of the place .
Thanks man .
Turkey videos rock! If not for people taking the time to share Turkey ,most would never know what an amazing place this is to visit and experience.

Turkey 🇹🇷 is Epic beyond Measure
What an amazing place! Thank you for sharing..
Rock on!
21:01 I’d fall for sure
Do you plan on coming back to California? Also what are your plans now that the Covid cases are rising in Europe.
Rise in cases due to doing more testing but it's not killing anymore than a normal flu season :)
There wouldn’t be so much Covid if you’re dumbass leader did the right thing in the first place
@@chrisnoel2099 I'm American and agree with you. I never voted for him and always wonder why so many Americans did. My apologies from the Americans who are Democrats and never-Trumpers. We have suffered a lot here, at the hands of this terrible criminal and his supporters and I know our friends around the world have too.😓 I am so sorry.
So fascinating.
The tumbnail looked a lot better ! ;-)
I would think animals or reptiles would occupy these places. Very cool
What is the reason that the flashlights are forbidden in this places? Like the light will damage something.
Yes, because of the paintings on the inside of the cave walls.
Eek please - we need more when u can manage it!
So another civilisation built all this stone glory - note the thickness and smoothness - without any tech, then modern man builds that rickety bridge to get into it. Makes perfect sense to me.
how did they. make the paint in the caves all that time ago?
Thanks for sharing all these valuable videos. Let me extend an invitation to you to visit Libya (i.e north Africa), It is a country that has not been exploited yet with wonders that will not be found elsewhere!
Take care gab ❤
Great vid Gabe, sadly so much vandalism in the churches.
I fast forwarded this in 2 minutes
I suspect you will become bored of Turkey before I will. Thanks for the uploads!
Not caves, melted buildings with cheap, modern paint-works to get the tourists in.
no subtitles, why?
12:46 some people have been very busy erasing the faces of those biblical figures.
Yes, probably the Ottomans when they invaded.
Assalamualaikum Gabriel Sir amazing place Love from Pakistan ...
What happened to the previous video? Canľt access it.
This is the same video. I re-uploaded it.
How did you enter in Turkey? I want to travel in Turkey, but the borders are closed now for us, Georgians.
He came to turkey through serbia I think.
I took a direct flight from Skopje, Macedonia to Istanbul, and then caught another flight to Dalaman. Maybe the land borders are closed but you can still fly between the countries? I'm not sure about that. But Turkey is still fully open to tourists as far as I know.
Today is Nov. 18th and this video was filmed on October 31st-are you still in Turkey or have you moved on to another country?
You in Albania?
I left Turkey two weeks ago.
Epic
👌👌👌

I am Xth number viewer.
Any plans for marriage
I'm seriously bored with Turkey, and now a rerun🤯. Please something new!
There are just so many places he can go right now, especially travelling on a US passport. Be patient.
@@stefaniehasandras7473 yeah I get that, but lately I've been quite saturated with Turkey, and trust me I love the country, I visited last year, but I need something new.
@@robcanad Hopefully the new covid vaccined will change things back to old normal. It's been a hard, boring 8 months. I often think of Anne Frank in the attic for 2 years.

It's a shame that everywhere you go with such beauty they always ruin it by sticking some kind of religious building there.
