Excellent serie indeed and the places they are taking us are truly amazing, love the way he place things into context.👌 Also the humor, deez nut jokes are getting old, but still funny to me. 😉
Cappadocia is one of the coolest places i've ever been to! If you look at what people post on social media you'd think people just go there to take pictures with hot air balloons but they seriously undersell how genuinely amazing it is. I didn't even realise that it was basically one enormous archaeological site until I saw it in a documentary. If you can, you must must must go.
Creating columns while digging out rock is not only a nice look, but also smart for the safety and durability of the cave building. Miners use pillars too, so the ceiling doesn´t come crashing down. The arches distribute the weight to the pillars, that relieves the pressure from the ceiling. Very interesting video, I love the explanations.
I know people will bash me, but I first heard and seen some details of Cappadocia through that fringe "ancient aliens" programme. I watch them on history channel for this sole purpose. Due to popularity of their TV show, they have granted to visit many interesting sites, so I simply ignore their "explanations" and just filter in only exact facts about the sites. If one train their mind to look at their programme like this, it could be resourcefull too :) Thanks to Dr Miano, I don't need to filter anything here :)
I used to watch them for the excellent footage, and the entertaining stories were like campfire ghost stories, for the most part. But then during quarantine, it suddenly became a bunch of guys sitting around a table talking, a whole bunch of sci-fi CGI, and recycled footage I'd already seen. I tried it again not that long ago, and there wasn't anything new to me... maybe, once you've seen all of their usual goto sites... and all the same old ghost stories... eh. There are plenty of archeological sites around the world, but if they want to try to focus on possible connections to ETs... there aren't many options that aren't highly unlikely at best.
@@GizzyDillespee Yeah, good point, apart from real sites, the rest was good fantasy filler. Granted, hasn't looked at their late seasons. I mean, they spent of all the interesting things in 5 seasons top. The rest is probably recycling, and their regular members mumbling nonsense, as you say.
Thats also why i watch channel on youtbe like lightning top and amazing stock. They have really REALLY good video and they DO NOT push the conspiracies they mention the conspiracy once then debunk it but in the format of a top ten video
Enjoying entertainment is not wrong. As long as you are not buying into and perpetuating harmful conspiracy theories (lies) you're golden. I believe the Melienials call this enjoyment of campy cultural endulgences "ironic" viewing. (They really are just embarrassed).
Because my financial resources are limited this is not a travel guide. However, it is a very nice annotated tour of a variety of less visited but no less interesting/important historical sites that I am highly unlikely to ever be able to visit. Which is why I watch it.
I wonder what happened to the artifacts in Derinkuyu when it was rediscovered in modern times. With such a large population, there must have been an enormous amount of stuff within, like pottery, oil lamps, personal items, food remains, etc...Did these items get documented?
I think like most ancient sites, some artifacts were discovered but most things would have been taken during the hundreds of years the site had been left unused. I mean, we're talking thousands of years here.
I loved watching this, the way you tell us the history is just spot on and easy to listen to- I shall be sending this link to my father, recommending he watch your channel too- thanks Dr Miano, loved every minute- and especially the fact you also include the where to stay and local cuisine too
Really enjoyed this video - I was in Cappadocia in 1991 just after the Gulf War - Drove from Dalyan (Turquoise Coast) to Cappadocia. There were hardly any tourists at that time - plus it was ridiculously cheap too. I remember paying £1.50 a night for a very decent little hotel. Also I remember just walking into Derinkuyu - absolutely no queue - and only a handful of other visitors. PS: you always seem to travel with very attractive female companions......fellow academics, friends or more than friends..? : - )
This is one of my favorites among your videos. I've always wanted to visit Turkiye. Some of the landscape reminds of the Wenatchee Valley where I grew up.
When you were in the church and talking about the painting that woman looked behind at you like she was thinking this man is really talking to himself lol
Thank you for sharing this wonderful, realistic experience! I am so tired of the "IG perfect" composed/rehearsed videos that mere mortals will never attain! Your experiences are amazing and I am very happy for you. ❤ Can't wait for my trip!
Hello from Rural Virginia, USA. So refreshing and informative and scenic and, well, helpful, with knowledge about Doyum Restaurant, Yum! I found my way here via a tangent from the Graham Hancock debates, esp. about the Assyrian and Sumerian "purses". Your explanation and written evidence as these being, actually, depictions of water vessels rang true to me. The term "retroject" is not one I have heard before. But, it makes perfect sense when the Kabbal Mystics try to authenticate their "Tree of Life" by projecting that belief onto the depictions of similar motifs in older, Assyrian and Sumerian relief carvings; not a legit process of authentication! Going the wrong way! Anyway, so much history, so much scenery, so much detail (especially the FOOD!) and your companions are wonderful. I would bring them to Derinkuyu or Ibiza! They seem wonderful at either place! LoL! Please, I plan on watching as many of your videos as I can over the next few weeks. I am happy I found your Channel, really. R/ Jeff.
Thank you for this, David, I've been hoping for some decent footage of the Derinkuyu complex, and any of the connected locations! Given that you stated that one person could carve out roughly 1m2 of material daily, it beggars belief to restrict any potential timeline for the creation or habitation of the underground complexes. Yes, I expect that at least, a very small percentage of the square footage could have been excavated in deep prehistory, and with each generational phase, further and deeper excavations were made. I feel you let yourself down by not properly educating people to the why's and wherefores that determine what we think we currently know, which is limited by the access allowed to the numerous and sprawling locations which have been discovered and made known but have not (from what I've been able to discern) been reported in academic journals, nor any research publicised by any academic institution. If you know of any, please let us know. Otherwise, everything we know (pre verifiable, limited locations) is pure speculation unless discoveries can be made that can inform to a site's inhabited chronological timespan. I'm not among the Atlantean group, I just think that if we can't date rock, then we can't say for certain who the earliest inhabitants were, nor when they lived, and our limiting of their potential capabilities is demeaning to them, not the people making the claims.
Your channel on archeology is amazing but I think you out did it with your content on the incredible food Turkey has to offer, maybe the best and last great foodie place left.
For those thinking of the Will Ferrell horrible remake of Land of the Lost - I bet he's referring to the Saturday Morning Show which was so much better and I'm still annoyed that Will Ferrell screwed this up. 😂
I've watched many of Dr. Mianos travel videos and see titles next to site names such as CAT1, CAT2 and CAT3. Can anyone tell me what these mean? Luv all the content including the tic tocs. Greetings from Baja California, Mexico
Question: if Mary remained a virgin throughout her life how can the Bible talk about his brothers? Can anyone recommend a good documentary or book on the subject - I find that fascinating. Cheers.
Well based on the number of documentaries I see about step people and farming civilizations having trouble I'm going to go ahead and guess it was one of the farming civilizations trying to avoid the horseman
That super deep hole... Some brave soul descended that with naught but a hammer and chisel. Astounding what humans care capable of. Though there are millions that would have you believe aliens did it.
Happy to hear Turkey pronounced in actual English this time😉! Or was it just a slip of the tongue of a native English speaker? I hope the authorities will excuse you for that. Great video by the way.
In the first 10 min there’s a church with old religious paintings. Does anyone know the age of the paintings of Jesus? Only reason I ask.. Jordan Maxwell had said long ago, there were 16 religions that came before Christianity that all had a savior child born of a virgin birth, a cross, and was sacrificed. As well as other similarities. I know there are similarities in a few religions had no idea 16. So made me wonder if this was older than Christianity?
In response to your advertisement for the globe and your comment about annoying flat earthers I say this: The earth has a bigger diameter when measured at the equator than it does when measured at the poles. I would assume that is caused by centrifugal force but I'm not a physicist or a geologist so take that statement with a grain of salt. Either way, that would make the earth kind of flat... on the poles. 😮 I love your videos Dr. Miano. Keep 'em coming!
Tell them "the earth is the same shape as your head. Now, is it flat or round?" while holding a baseball bat and staring at them with an ominous look on your face. Anyways, thats how I annoy flat earthers. lol
WHY is the lighting so poor in this video? Were you not ALLOWED to bring flashlights or fill lights?? Was your videographer so unprepared?? Just wondering. Great video otherwise.
This is also one of my favorite series on this channel, which makes it one of my favorite series on RUclips. Thanks Dr Miano

And thank you!
Loved it! So glad you are taking us around the ancient world!
This is currently the best thing on RUclips for me. It's very exciting.

47 minutes?? And perfect timing right as I start my lunch break. I'm so excited for this!
Same lol

I watch ghost shows once in a while for the same reason. Laugh at them but enjoy the old sites.

Hoping to tour Turkey in the future. ❤👍
Excellent video! Thanks for taking us along!!
Thank you for the interesting video. My husband’s ancestors were Christians from the area. Love the Land of the Lost reference.

"Then we went out for a bit to eat" What, is the guy just plain lonely? NEXT real Doco on an amazing subject
Wishing you the biggest success Doc. Great video. 🎉
We drink tea a lot because in addition to its taste, it is produced in the country and cheap.
Imagine seeing a legit Hitite relief in a park! Keep these coming doc!
This is one of my favorites among your videos. I've always wanted to visit Turkiye. Some of the landscape reminds of the Wenatchee Valley where I grew up.
I just met 2 Turkish folks at my condos. I asked what language is this? I knew it. Unusual and distinct❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
if the world isnt flat how do the elephants balance on the back of the turtle?
When you were in the church and talking about the painting that woman looked behind at you like she was thinking this man is really talking to himself lol
I've read about the underground cities, but this is the first time I've seen any fil. Thabks.
Surprisingly beautiful area. ❤ I am still working on talking my husband into a trip to Turkey. This might help. 😉
Was that künefe at 42:40? I haven't had that since I lived in Germany, it's so good!
Yes!
Man i havent even left my home state ever. Im so jealous!!!!!
I've barely left my state so dont feel too bad.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful, realistic experience! I am so tired of the "IG perfect" composed/rehearsed videos that mere mortals will never attain! Your experiences are amazing and I am very happy for you. ❤ Can't wait for my trip!
Really interesting episode. Thoroughly enjoyed 😊 Thank you
those globes are expensive but super cool. it's on my list!
Time to get a Ph.D and learn Turkish. I need to explore these 200 other underground cities.
Just brilliant! You are the best! 🙌🏻 Them air shafts where probably used to take away the rock they dug out too
The food looked great. I could almost taste that flat bread.👍

would it be possible to just see a food only version of your turkey tour? Love it son #1
Omg, those roads would be so much fun on my motorcycle! How beautiful!
So cool!
Good stuff, and there's so much content, too!
I was also reminded of fantasy by Derinkuyu. I was thinking of Dwarf cities in Warhammer fantasy.
thank you very much for this episode! i learned a lot. im 90% sure i wont be ever going outisde the country but videos like yours makes up for it.
Ah yes wise words by Professor David "Pounding Stone" Miano
Thank you for another great video.
Thanks, doc!
43:48 great save, Tess! 😅
Wow, I have been to Kappadokia which is really interesting and the amazing underground city is quite cold inside.
great stuff
The paintings of the Old Church seem to be much more recent than those of the New Church, or is it just me?
...way to annoy the flat earthers😂😂💛
Antique naval chart chests and globes. 🤦🏼♀️ And Asscher cuts! Those are my three weaknesses.
Thank you!😊
Yo those globes are 🔥🔥🔥

This guy looks like he belongs in a indiana jones movie.
He belongs in a museum!
Dr. Miano could kick Indiana Jones and Han Solos a$$es at the same time!
Nice Ty
Why are most of the faces in the paintings at the church purposely scraped off?
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude.... This is soooo rad!! Thank you!!! 🏆 🏅 🕯️ 🌹 ❤️
Turkish icecream vendors are something else🤣
For those thinking of the Will Ferrell horrible remake of Land of the Lost - I bet he's referring to the Saturday Morning Show which was so much better and I'm still annoyed that Will Ferrell screwed this up. 😂
Just saw the church was built in 915 (thank you for the tour)
I like your blog great quality not enough information though 😮
I thought it was gimmick at the restaurant that the food was served in flames, it was in fact güveç, a very traditional dish.
I've watched many of Dr. Mianos travel videos and see titles next to site names such as CAT1, CAT2 and CAT3. Can anyone tell me what these mean? Luv all the content including the tic tocs. Greetings from Baja California, Mexico
Cat 1 = major site
Cat 2 = medium site
Cat 3 = minor site
David would be a spelunker in a different timeline
I always thought it would be amazing to see the hot air balloon festival!
You're spoiling me rotten! The imagination runs wild in those burrows. But I've always been a bit of a Hobbit. lol
The god at the end, the weather god, unsure how to spell his name, is very similar in depiction to early Sumerian gods. Very interesting!
Enjoy turkey and I hope you experience again the friendly anatolian side
just wondering where all the washrooms are. people still had bodily functions. maybe thats what the shafts were for. it would take the smell out
There are places where ancient people have dug cave in hills made out of thousands of years of settlement.
@user-oy3yo7qe6o they're called Tels and Jericho is one
Do we know what happened to all the rock that was excavated to create the "Underground city".... there must have been a great deal of it?
Wow, great place for a water cult, and that rock carving is so cool.
Jesus is the living water. Come to him and you will never thirst again.
It’s nice to see that the women weren’t forced to wear veils. I wouldn’t want to visit some where with an oppressive dress code.
Oh man, I want to be a cave hermit so bad.
Question: if Mary remained a virgin throughout her life how can the Bible talk about his brothers?
Can anyone recommend a good documentary or book on the subject - I find that fascinating. Cheers.
The Catholic Church does not believe Mary is the mother of his brothers.
I felt claustrophobic just watching that!
The "octopus" is actually a seraph.
Ah!
Well based on the number of documentaries I see about step people and farming civilizations having trouble I'm going to go ahead and guess it was one of the farming civilizations trying to avoid the horseman
It would take Red Sonia, A young prince, his protector, and Mr universe to storm that city.
That super deep hole... Some brave soul descended that with naught but a hammer and chisel. Astounding what humans care capable of. Though there are millions that would have you believe aliens did it.
Why didn't you guys go down to the bottom floor ???? O YEAH you can't 😂
Invest in flash light
Is that an octopus? Space cephalopod theorists say, "Yes". Or maybe it's a chunky fleur-de-lis, who knows.

The all seeing Graham Hancock knows this is 20,000 years old because well he said so. I believe its actually fraggle rock
Besides being perfect for defense it’s also perfect for internal control. It’s like the perfect compound for a cult leader to run amok.
Somehow, they would seem more realistic to me if they were tilted 23 1/2°
So glad it's new upload time!!!! Woohoo!!
Bro, bring a flashlight.
Cavemen got out of their caves to explore, only to make cave-esque homes.
🤯
WHY is the lighting so poor in this video? Were you not ALLOWED to bring flashlights or fill lights??
Was your videographer so unprepared?? Just wondering.
Great video otherwise.
