Cappadocia (/kæpəˈdoʊʃə/; also Capadocia; Turkish: Kapadokya, Greek: Καππαδοκία Kappadokía, from Ancient Greek: Καππαδοκία, from Old Persian: Katpatuka) is a historical region in Central Anatolia, largely in the Nevşehir, Kayseri, Aksaray, and Niğde Provinces in Turkey. In Ancient Greek Καππαδοξ (genitive -οκος) means "a Cappadocian".
In the time of Herodotus, the Cappadocians were reported as occupying the whole region from Mount Taurus to the vicinity of the Euxine (Black Sea). Cappadocia, in this sense, was bounded in the south by the chain of the Taurus Mountains that separate it from Cilicia, to the east by the upper Euphrates and the Armenian Highland, to the north by Pontus, and to the west by Lycaonia and eastern Galatia.
The name, traditionally used in Christian sources throughout history, continues in use as an international tourism concept to define a region of exceptional natural wonders, in particular characterized by fairy chimneys and a unique historical and cultural heritage.

Dwellings, troglodyte villages and underground towns – the remains of a traditional human habitat dating back to the 4th century – can also be seen there."

Alexander Koltypin's article on the rock cities of Turkey http://earthbeforeflood.com/who_also_when_had_constructed_underground_and_rocky_cities_of_cappadocia_turkey.html NICE POINT FROM THE COMMENTS SECTION-Phillip Hanford - How can they stack rooms like that while working inside the stone with the floor a precise thickness? If the room floor is too large they would need to make the floor thicker. Special thanks to Mother Ayahuasca who gave me the clarity of mind to inquire into the nature of consciousness and the mysteries of the ancient human species, which "houses" that consciousness In response to a large number of comments full of dirty language and barely relevant to the video above...
