oh my...I was there 5 years ago or so and I met this farmer as well. What a great surprise to see him again. Turkish people mainly on the east are extremely friendly. love that country and going back for more exploration this summer 2023. so much to discover there.
You can just look at Mr. Nizam’s eyes and tell he is a very very beautiful kind soul! Even though i didn’t get to know him personally but through this (first time video on this channel ) watcher, the goodness of earth misses him!
Rest In Peace Mr Nizam , he showed us what humanity is all about, hospitality to others with a generous heart. An epic video the fact that the monastery was built in that location is a miracle in itself an achievement of building on a grand scale. The Byzantine Church lasted almost 1000 years after the fall of the Roman Empire in Constantinople before that too collapsed under the Arab conquests. The church walls which you see the remains of plaster would’ve had a number of frescos on the walls of what is known as the Byzantine art, the monks would’ve carried out there daily lives of rituals in isolation but as time went on the monks would’ve died and most likely there were no new novice monks to replace them and carry on the tradition and the life of the monastery. The increasing influence of the Islamic faith in the region would’ve also hastened its decline, but the legacy of the Byzantine Church founded by Emperor Constantine still influences the culture of Turkey today. The skulls and human bones are likely the bones of those who had lived and died in the area, the bodies would have been placed in the crypt and left to decay, once the flesh has gone the bones are then gathered up and placed into another part of the crypt where the bones of their ancestors are gathered. Over time they have been disturbed by grave robbers looking for treasure and thus they are as you have found them. I loved the ghost in the doorway 👍
Dear Mick, the Monastry and the Church was built By GEORGIANS… and are not Byzantine…Same of 12 similarly significant Monasteries that were built upon nearby mountains and valleys… where not only religious studies, those institutions have undertaken studies such in literature, philosophy, medicine, engineering, astronomy, mats… Those centers translated writings of Latin, Hebrew, Armanec into Far Eastern languages and vise verse… European ronesans only replicated such achievements 7-800 years later… Developed leadership cadre that not only successfully deposed Arab invaders but many more. Consequently, Georgia had achieved the status of an Empire State, around XI-XII centuries…
@@MickAngelhere Dear Mick, thanks to Mike Carey global audience was exposed to one of the least known piece of historically significant treasure throne that had emerged at the beginning of 9th century… you would probably better of start reading from the classical and early medieval age Kingdoms of Colhis (Colxeti) & Iberya. Some recent historical and archeological findings show that Southern Caucasian region was one of the most sophisticated contributors to human civilisation. There are some very useful and quality you tube videos on the net. By the way historically great interaction with all mid-east civilisations inc Greeks & Eastern Roman Empire…
@@orhanyavuz6758 thank you I will definitely be looking up those suggestions and yes it’s very true at Mike has done as I never knew they existed , would love to see them for myself. I have recently being studying the history of religion and it is interesting of how similar the they were to the Eastern part of the church, when they were actually the Western part of the church, thank you for pointing that out to me .
Even the stone cries out to tell its story. There is a story indeed. How much effort the Monks put into making their home invisible and inaccessible. It must have been a terrifying time and, as we can see, they and their way of life was obliterated and forgotten.
I went to Georgia by accident on my way Turkey. It was during Corona when I had to stay there for a month to avoid quarantine. I went back for another month later. I really love it there and even though I've only been there twice it feels like a second home to me. I've already planned my third trip and will be bringing my Turkish wife with me this time :) Kazbegi is Heaven.
That mountain side monastery is a beautiful place. The architecture and materials have stood the test of time and it's so well camouflaged . I hope is served them well and protected it's inhabitants for many generations.
This was a wonderful video. I’ve been in entertainment most of my life, and I’ve seen the worst of people. It’s very rare anymore to see this kind of generosity. Mr. Nizam was everything that everybody should ever strive to be. RIP.
RIP Mr. Nizam. The way he cared for you was something else. Coming back up on the morning checking on you says a lot about the guy. Excellent video, and in a sense you took him on a journey too before he died. I'm sure he enjoyed it a lot!
Türkiye insani yönden hoşgörü kültürü en gelişmiş ülkedir bence. Türkiye öyle bir ülkedir ki, hem dünyanın en temiz kalpli ve art niyetten uzak insanlarını hem de insanlıktan nasibini almamış, kötülük lordu olmuş insanları barındırır. Ama herşeye rağmen ülkede iyi insanların çoğunluk olduğunu düşünüyorum. Özellikle doğu bölgesinde yaşayan insanlar, gerçek, saf ve kötülük nedir bilmez insanlardır.
What an absolutely breathtaking sight to behold.. and to have such in his own backyard was one of many things Mr. Nizam had seemed to be blessed with in this life. May he forever rest in the comforting arms of his Lord and may his family have peace from losing such a sweet precious treasure of a man. Thank you for taking us on this journey, this is the first of many I will get to enjoy as I just have subscribed, sir. Thank you again.
This is truly some next level storytelling! What a beautiful place, with such friendly, humble people. So sad to hear that Mr. Nizam has passed away. He, and what assume was his wife, are the kind of people this planet could learn a lot from. If the Turkish people in general are like this couple, they have reason to be proud.
Thank you very much for showing us this awesome historical place ! I send my condolences to Mr. Nizam's family. He was a good man ! May he rest in peace !
I lived in four corners area for many years and this trip you took reminds me so much of the ruins and kivas we found hiking in places where noone has been for 600 years. I remember one time being by myself and sleeping in a Kiva at Lowry ruins in Colorado. Waking up seeing the sun rise like a golden orb above the ruins of the Kiva. I wish I were younger now. I would still be exploring that beautiful place>> TC Keith (In Florida USA) PS May the good lord Mr Nizam, take you into his loving arms for all time...
Allah rahmet eylesin, sonu gerçekten açıklı bitmiş. yorumların tamamı ingilizce , değişiklik olsun diye bende türkçe yazayım dedim. Buraları gezerken nasıl bir ruh hali ve duygu hali yaşadığını anlamak için aynı şeyleri hissetmek gerekir, ben anlıyabiliyorum, enteresan olan ülkemizdeki bu güzellikleri binlerce kilometre uzaktaki memleketlerden gelip birilerinin bize göstermesi ve bu sayede gidip canlı canlı gezmesek de en azından buradan görerek benzer duyguları yaşabilmek.eline sağlık, sağolsun.
A truly amazing adventure, simply brilliant! Everything from the skulls, the mushroom, the camp, etc. made for a wonderful tale. A sad shame it had to end in tragedy. May Mr. Nizam rest in peace.
This is, far and away, the most fascinating video I have ever seen on TH-cam. Thank you for posting. My deepest condolences to Mr. Nizam and his family.
I just, idk what to say or how to say it, I just love all the stories that unfold on the wonderous adventures you take. I envy the experiences that take place. Man am i blessed and thankful to get to see these things through your videos.
This is awesome. I visited Turkey in 2010 for 6 weeks. It was a study abroad trip through the university I was attending. Still to this day it is one of my fondest memories. Turkey is beautiful. During those 6 weeks, we travelled all along the western border/coast of Turkey. We started south in Antalya and worked our way up north to Istanbul. I wanted to see the mountains in the east but was overjoyed to see what I did. Ephesus was probably my favorite location to visit, along with Termessos, Troy/Troad and many many other places. The ruins are incredible and Turkey’s history is amazing. Ephesus was known for its magnificent library and it was definitely a sight to see in person. This video brought back great memories! Edit: I wanted to add, the people of Turkey were all incredibly kind to us while we were there. I went into countless shops and each one of them offered warm chai and great conversation, though many times it was through broken English and the minuscule amount of Turkish I had learned. Smiles, handshakes and tea can sometimes be all the words we need. They gave gifts, they told stories, they were proud of their country and were happy to have visitors. They asked questions and were curious of my background and that feeling was mutual. I had many questions for them as well. I met a local artist who gave me two paintings and welcomed me into his shop that he was currently renovating to turn into an art exhibit of sorts. He went by Eyup. I’m having so many memories flood through after watching this video. Really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work. I’m jealous of your travels!
Man I am astonished of the kindness seen around the world that never gets portrayed. This Solo event turned into a wealth of insight into the fact that the world is and can be a beautiful place if you can see things from a viewpoint of compassion and grace. Thanks you for this. Many Blessings and Godspeed.
Much love and respect for Mr. Nizam ❤Many thanks to him for welcoming Mike to explore your area! So sad to hear of his passing. 💔 He will forever be remembered. One of his last acts was to share his spirit with all of us and that is so beautiful ❤ This was such an Awesome exploration!! I am happy to see you working with the locals in the area. They seem like really great people ❤ and they definitely seem to like you too. What a beautiful country with so much history. It makes me sad we don’t have ancient history in Canada. Everything we are told only start appx 500 years ago. So cool to see a Canadian getting to explore historic sites across the globe. We don’t get to do that at home. It’s almost like there is no exploring allowed here. Definitely not in regards to the history of the indigenous people anyways. Also I believe that fruit is a persimmon.
Due to Mike Corey, the world gets a chance to get to know Mr Nizam. Thank you for that honor, Mike and thank you for sharing your freedom of life and purity of heart.
I"m at a loss for words, what an amazing place! Sorry about your friends passing tho, it would be hard to enjoy the memory. But if he was as you described, that alone would be a memory to cherish. You are a very lucky person to have the entire experience! Loved the video, thanks!!
What an awesome video. You were fortunate to encounter a man such as Mr Nizam and be welcomed by his family. The Earth lost a shining light in his passing, but now his light shines bright in the night sky. May he be at peace for eternity.
Heart warming how Wonderful this pod cast is . Exstordinary adventure ( so much so I have tears rolling down my cheeks ) I love hospitality, kindness and historical places .
What an amazing, wonderful adventure and story you have shared. It is also wonderful to meet kind and caring people such as those you have met. To meet those that are so willing to share their generosity of what they have. I really enjoyed your journal and the beauty of this place. Don't think I could have climbed to where you did though, even if I didn't have mobility issues. I would have been to scared to fall. So thanks for taking us there. And thank you to your guides. May the kind gentleman that passed away Rest in Peace. Blessed Be💜💜💜🍀☘🍀☘🍀
Beautiful Turkey! I went there during lockdown, friendly People and diverse landscape. I hope that you can get a copy of the video to his dear wife perhaps a group of your subscribers can club together for a small battery operated DVD player or small device so his wife can view it, perhaps send to the hide you had, it would be a magnificent gift 💫 Thank you for your video! Great Camping come to Scotland ✌️
Wonderful video, thank you! And thanks to Mr. Nizam for taking care of that place and helping you reach the monastery so you could show it and share its story... I'm sure you have fulfilled a dream of Mr. Nizam. Wherever he is, I’m sure he is happy about this. Greetings from the mountains in Argentina.
as a Christian i really do hope they protect those ruins. not only does it help promote peace between religions but it also will up tourism if they can take care of these sites and make them available for tourists to visit.
I've just discovered your channel...loved this video and that incredible mountain place, but so very sad about Mr Nizam, what a beautiful man he seemed to be. And what lovely and kind people his family were. He will I am sure be sadly missed by those who new him. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to looking at your previous videos as well as future ones. Kind regards from Vicki in South Australia
Thanks for taking us along! For some of us, our bodies can't keep up to travel to places like this, but our eyes can see and our hearts feel with videos such as these.
Thank you for sharing mr. Nizams and his familiy respectfull story. Inspiring and humbling indeed to receive heartfull generosity. Someone said: From a single candle, thousands can be lit and the light will never diminish. Thank you also for sharing your experience of this great adventure
You should definitely visit Serbia if you are interested in these kinds of monasteries and buildings there are many that have survived so you can have an idea how the destroyed ones looked.
Mr. Nizam is a loss not only to his family, but the entire world! For we need more people like this man in the world, more that care for others as much as they would if it was their own family!! Just WOW, SOOOO sad to see a man like him pass, but I can only imagine him in a better place! Shine bright Mr. Nizam, shine bright so that we all may find our way home under your guiding light!
That place is awesome. You could really the people of long ago are genius, pacient and hardworking! To build structure in such a high place and at the cliff side is dangerous. It's sad that Mr. Nizam passed away. He's kind and accommodating. His smiling face stuck in my mind. May he rest peacefully!
Thank you!! I am very impressed with your video and your courage to spend the night inside this ancient place of veneration! I am also truly happy that you encountered kindness and blessings on your journey. My favorite moment in the video was when you lit fire in all the alcoves in the ruin, and suddenly it felt like a one-man vigil in there. Also I could vividly envision the monks in black robes (Orthodox monastic robes are usually black), reading prayers and singing chants under the dim light of wax candles.. Man, what an amazing moment that transcends time and space! Now, about the human bones that you found in the caves.. Although frightening, human remains have been a common (and pretty natural) element in the Orthodox Church since ancient times. Take the Meteora or Mount Athos in Greece as an example, where numerous caves still hold bones of many ascetics who lived and prayed there. These bones serve as an element to evoke remembrance of human transience ('memento mori') in people who encounter them, thus motivating them to strive to do 'better' in this life. Monks who dwell in those caves nowadays pray for the souls of their deceased ancestors, and hope that they too, will be remembered in their deaths. I have always admired this coexistence of the past and present, and this secret fellowship of contemporary humans with their ancestors. This is what I have been reminded of upon seeing your video, and I am truly grateful for this plethora of emotions that your storytelling brings up in me! The kind Mr Nizam will be on my mind, may he rest in peace!
Thank you for doing this video it's a great video I very much appreciate you showing us this area with a mass grave underground I'm sure other Graves around it from the Holocaust of world war II let us never forget
This was such a fascinating video! Such incredible shots of the monastery and such beautifully kind people. Sorry ro hear Mr. Nizam passed ❤ Breathtakingly stunning land with rich history!! Imagine, many other monastery's hidden in the mountains and fog and trees.. just WOW
Mr Nizam seemed like a kind-hearted, truly generous and good man. He reminds me of those mountain men that exist all around the globe, hard working men that made themselves, tamed the land with their hands turned to callus, and save in words yet speak with action and good deeds. Rest in peace, Mr. Nizam.
And what a great man he was I'm sure he will be greatly missed and loved 😢 what a sad thing for him to be gone and hopefully the history of this place will not be lost to time now that you have brought it to light thanks again brother for showing us all these beautiful places and wonderful people in this world
first time ever on your channel and all i can say is wow!!! Sad in the end to hear about Mr. Nizam. He seemed like a very nice man and happy. He doesn't know how many people he touched and sadden by his loss. Thank you for sharing and I am now going to watch all your videos. I am to out of shape, have health conditions and older to travel anymore so I will live vicariously through your videos. Sending prayers to Mr. Nizam's family and will catch you on your next adventure video.
That is one of the coolest places ancient locations I would love to have been there a thousand years ago and seeing what people were doing in their daily lives just incredible what humans can accomplish
Have never watched your channel before. I will now! This was a wonderful experience, I am sure! I love a good adventure. RIP Mr. Nizam. What a wonderful giving man. Praying for his family too!
We shall hold mister Nizam in respectful place in our prayers. Great human encounter, through the centuries till this moment. You have received a grace. Cheers
I am very sorry to hear about Mr. Nizam passing into another dimension. A very nice and kind man. I feel sorry for his wife as well who will surely miss him a lot. RIP Mr. Nizam your soul is still "alive" 🙂
Aw Man that guy was my hero. I could never have scaled those cliffs as effortlessly as he did. You're lucky you had a chance to meet him. Looked like a cozy night in a cool place.
Absolutely amazing i wish i could travel and see such beautiful sights and rest in peace to that lovely man and i wish his family all the best he was a lucky person to be able to look out a window and see such a gorgeous landscape with so much history. Ps thank you for making this video you are a great youtuber keep up the awesome work mate👍
Thank you Mr. Naziam for taking him to this majestic place. You allow us to see this through his video. Blessings. Did you hear or see and weird activities?
Drop some respect in the comments for Mr. Nizam.
Thank you for everything ❤🙏🏻
The same respect you didn't show those human remains?

@@kevinnix5495 Your showing a lot of disrespect with that comment. You need to move to a new channel 😡
@@Shotgun-rider so it's disrespectful to tell someone their being disrespectful? So you in fact are being disrespectful?!? Hypocrite!
I'll answer your question and honour your friend: gratefulness and kindness connect people across time. Paying that foward is the way how.
I’m so sorry to hear that he died.😔 What a lovely gentleman! You were so blessed to have spent time with such a hard working and kind man.

Who died😢

@@NOT_MR_CUBAN Mr. Nizam
The spirits in the crypt decided it was time.
I am so sorry for the Farmers family's loss; he seemed from this video to be a wonderful person.
He had everything without needing a supermarket. Chestnuts, vegetables, fruits, eggs, even honey. 🦌 🦋
No never been within 1000 miles of Turkey. I like allusions to a simpler life, homegrown food, county air.
Wonder if he took the shot...
oh my...I was there 5 years ago or so and I met this farmer as well. What a great surprise to see him again. Turkish people mainly on the east are extremely friendly. love that country and going back for more exploration this summer 2023. so much to discover there.
You can just look at Mr. Nizam’s eyes and tell he is a very very beautiful kind soul! Even though i didn’t get to know him personally but through this (first time video on this channel ) watcher, the goodness of earth misses him!
Living in such a beautiful place with such a beautiful family, tending your own animals, that man is is living his best life. Truly worthy of envy.
I like him very much and in my country people on remote country side are kindest souls on planet quiet humble and simple
Rest In Peace Mr Nizam , he showed us what humanity is all about, hospitality to others with a generous heart.

What an awesome video. You were fortunate to encounter a man such as Mr Nizam and be welcomed by his family. The Earth lost a shining light in his passing, but now his light shines bright in the night sky. May he be at peace for eternity.
Thank you, Mr. Nizam. He brought us all on an adventure. Sweet man. Got me crying over here
Post MORE!!🙌🏼
Of course you are here too! Haha, I totally agree!! Missing Mike's content!!
He seemed like a really kind and happy man. Yall were suppose to meet.
Heart warming how Wonderful this pod cast is . Exstordinary adventure ( so much so I have tears rolling down my cheeks ) I love hospitality, kindness and historical places .
So beautiful that sky, that star filled night!! RIP Mr. Nizam.
Turkey is one of my favourite places. Such a variety of landscapes. Really interesting history. Yes the Turkish people are very friendly.
What an amazing, wonderful adventure and story you have shared. It is also wonderful to meet kind and caring people such as those you have met. To meet those that are so willing to share their generosity of what they have. I really enjoyed your journal and the beauty of this place. Don't think I could have climbed to where you did though, even if I didn't have mobility issues. I would have been to scared to fall. So thanks for taking us there. And thank you to your guides. May the kind gentleman that passed away Rest in Peace. Blessed Be💜💜💜🍀☘🍀☘🍀
Beautiful Turkey! I went there during lockdown, friendly People and diverse landscape. I hope that you can get a copy of the video to his dear wife perhaps a group of your subscribers can club together for a small battery operated DVD player or small device so his wife can view it, perhaps send to the hide you had, it would be a magnificent gift 💫 Thank you for your video! Great Camping come to Scotland ✌️
What a great story with great people. The only bad thing about the video is it was to short. Thanks for sharing 👍
Wonderful video, thank you! And thanks to Mr. Nizam for taking care of that place and helping you reach the monastery so you could show it and share its story... I'm sure you have fulfilled a dream of Mr. Nizam. Wherever he is, I’m sure he is happy about this. Greetings from the mountains in Argentina.
Nizam, so courteous and amazing soul. peace for his soul
as a Christian i really do hope they protect those ruins. not only does it help promote peace between religions but it also will up tourism if they can take care of these sites and make them available for tourists to visit.
I've just discovered your channel...loved this video and that incredible mountain place, but so very sad about Mr Nizam, what a beautiful man he seemed to be. And what lovely and kind people his family were. He will I am sure be sadly missed by those who new him. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to looking at your previous videos as well as future ones. Kind regards from Vicki in South Australia
Thanks for taking us along! For some of us, our bodies can't keep up to travel to places like this, but our eyes can see and our hearts feel with videos such as these.
Mr Nazam is truly person he must be sorely missed No only by his family but all that knew him.
Thank you for sharing mr. Nizams and his familiy respectfull story. Inspiring and humbling indeed to receive heartfull generosity. Someone said: From a single candle, thousands can be lit and the light will never diminish.
Thank you also for sharing your experience of this great adventure
amazing video as always. I love how there's always something to learn about history and life in each one you put out
Mr. Nizam seemed like a good and passionate guy. May he had a amazing life.
WOW!!! You’re a such a blessed soul Mike 🤍🥰 with love from England 🏴
Wow 🤩 this is truly crazy place .
It’s is amazing and interesting video to explore Turkey in different way .
Thanks for sharing with us 🙏
You should definitely visit Serbia if you are interested in these kinds of monasteries and buildings there are many that have survived so you can have an idea how the destroyed ones looked.
Mr Nzam, was such a good hearted and lovely man I hope he finds the most comfortable place in Heaven Rip
Mr. Nizam is a loss not only to his family, but the entire world! For we need more people like this man in the world, more that care for others as much as they would if it was their own family!! Just WOW, SOOOO sad to see a man like him pass, but I can only imagine him in a better place! Shine bright Mr. Nizam, shine bright so that we all may find our way home under your guiding light!
Such a beautiful place I must say! I love everything about it :) Thank you for the top tier content as always! And welcome back!
I live in Serbia and have found similar places in the Tata Mountains
I guess from the 80/90’s Serbian Bosnian war?.
The persimmon, the orange fruit, looks yummy! They are really good.
That place is awesome. You could really the people of long ago are genius, pacient and hardworking! To build structure in such a high place and at the cliff side is dangerous.
It's sad that Mr. Nizam passed away. He's kind and accommodating. His smiling face stuck in my mind. May he rest peacefully!
A truly wonderful video and People. My Condolences to your friend Mr. Nizam and his Family.
Thank you!! I am very impressed with your video and your courage to spend the night inside this ancient place of veneration! I am also truly happy that you encountered kindness and blessings on your journey. My favorite moment in the video was when you lit fire in all the alcoves in the ruin, and suddenly it felt like a one-man vigil in there. Also I could vividly envision the monks in black robes (Orthodox monastic robes are usually black), reading prayers and singing chants under the dim light of wax candles.. Man, what an amazing moment that transcends time and space! Now, about the human bones that you found in the caves.. Although frightening, human remains have been a common (and pretty natural) element in the Orthodox Church since ancient times. Take the Meteora or Mount Athos in Greece as an example, where numerous caves still hold bones of many ascetics who lived and prayed there. These bones serve as an element to evoke remembrance of human transience ('memento mori') in people who encounter them, thus motivating them to strive to do 'better' in this life. Monks who dwell in those caves nowadays pray for the souls of their deceased ancestors, and hope that they too, will be remembered in their deaths. I have always admired this coexistence of the past and present, and this secret fellowship of contemporary humans with their ancestors. This is what I have been reminded of upon seeing your video, and I am truly grateful for this plethora of emotions that your storytelling brings up in me! The kind Mr Nizam will be on my mind, may he rest in peace!
What a kind gentleman, RIP, Mr Nizam.
Thank you for doing this video it's a great video I very much appreciate you showing us this area with a mass grave underground I'm sure other Graves around it from the Holocaust of world war II let us never forget
Mr Nizam’s striking smile has travelled a long way thanks to your videos. Thank you for sharing his special part of the world with us.
What a nice man, mister Nizam, what a nice soul, he will rest in peace, so sorry for his family...🌹
Stunning video and narration, I loved every minute of it. Thank you! And rest in peace Mr. Nizam ✨
This was such a fascinating video! Such incredible shots of the monastery and such beautifully kind people. Sorry ro hear Mr. Nizam passed ❤ Breathtakingly stunning land with rich history!! Imagine, many other monastery's hidden in the mountains and fog and trees.. just WOW
Hey is that really a ghost captured on the video standing starring at you while eating? Daaaaaaaamn that was so cool! At 23:02
I seee u too
After effects bro. Ghost no exist in 3rd dimension
he obviously edited it since he kept looking at the door. He’s scared in the actual world than being alone in a cave as he said 😅
@@nielcutter3804 but after this he didn't post any video 🤔.......?
@@hvorethiogamer6677 where is he ?
These simple people are wonderful. Friendly, helpful and hospitable.
Rip mr nizam he seemed to be a great/thoughtful/caring and many more rip mr nizam and god watch over his family
Such a kind man may he rest in peace....
Mr Nizam seemed like a kind-hearted, truly generous and good man. He reminds me of those mountain men that exist all around the globe, hard working men that made themselves, tamed the land with their hands turned to callus, and save in words yet speak with action and good deeds. Rest in peace, Mr. Nizam.
what a man....truely one of a kind... rest in peace Mr. Nizam 🌹, from Sweden
RIP Mr. Nizam. Thank you for showing us your beautiful part of the world before you left.
Rest In Peace Mr.Nizam. You seemed like a lovely fellow.
A beautiful place and a beautiful tribute to Mr. Nizam. It's sad to hear that he passed. He had very kind eyes. I hope that his wife is okay. 😪
This cliffside monastery looks like the Satan's castle
We and you will not forget the experience you had that day 😂
Ahaha no... we never will 😆
And what a great man he was I'm sure he will be greatly missed and loved 😢 what a sad thing for him to be gone and hopefully the history of this place will not be lost to time now that you have brought it to light thanks again brother for showing us all these beautiful places and wonderful people in this world
Mr Nizam...RIP to a wonderful kind human being.
