Cappadocia generally, and the fairy chimneys in particular, are not a normal landscape, even for volcanic rock. Here is my interpretation of what they suggest, a segment from "What the Sultan Saw", highlighting the history of Turkey & Constantinople/Istanbul, featuring the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman Empires.

This free Intrepid Berkeley Explorer video tour of western and central Turkey stars the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Cappadocia (land of scenic fairy chimneys), Ephesus (& other Roman cities), the Turkish Riviera, Turkish folk dancing and belly dancing, shopping for the magic flying carpet, and much more.

To enjoy all of this film, plus over 30 more free, non-commercial, streaming travel videos from every continent, and still pictures, please ask a search engine for:

  • ALL GREEK

  • @blunklaura They're formed by erosion. There's a deep layer of soft volcanic rock overlayed by a much thinner harder layer. As the hillsides erode in the rain, the ravines form. Where a piece of the harder rock remains, it acts as a "roof," keeping the rain from eroding the rock below it. So as the erosion continues on the bank behind it, it's left behind as a tower. The process is still underway.

  • @aweinsto You are an idiot. Turkey has its problems but is in no way comparable to Iran. North Korea? That's just a bizarre thing to say. And it's one of the safest places you can travel.

  • @aweinsto not more dangerous than ur terrorist country, stupid jew !

  • so pretty!

  • Were these formed by volcanic eruptions and magma flow/cooling then?

    They're spectacular.

  • @ma82175
