In eastern Turkey there are some jagged mountains with lots
of caves. People in the surrounding
areas would live in these caves and over time would carve them out to be
bigger. A whole town came to be in these
mountains. In the 4th century
early Christians would take refuge in these cave-houses and would carve out
chapels and worship places. Because of
the rugged terrain and the sturdy nature of the mountain caves it was easily
hidden and defended. Walking through
these mountain tunnels made me aware of a sense of time that was on a vast
scale.
