First built by the Phrygians in the 8th7th centuries B.C according to the Turkish Department of Culture. The city could be closed from inside with large stone doors. The complex has a total 11 floors, though many floors have not been excavated. It has an area of 2,000 square feet, each floor could be closed off separately. The city could accommodate between 3,000 and 50,000 people.

@JNozum Its not about the music? Plus, I highly doubt photograflonnely wrote the music. so stfu.

The video was quite interesting. Most of the music was also unique. I also checked it for the key, and the music was in the key of A minor. The only thing that could have been changed was ditching the distorted electric guitar. The other instruments are fine.
