aşıklı höyük

Guzelyurt

The oldest settlement on Cappadocia Region. The area is quite tourist friendly. There are information boards, route arrows and even home replicas. Sadly this place is not popular at all. However, if one wants to understand the history of the region, this area is a must visit. You can see how people who lived 10.000 years ago constructed houses.

It dates back to 8500 and is the oldest village in Central Anatolia.n•nThe first brain surgery in the world was performed here, as can be understood from the female skull with an operation scar found here.n•nThe oldest copper technology in Central Anatolia was seen here for the first time.n•nImportant transformations in human history have taken place, such as the beginning of grain farming and the start of keeping animals in the settlement.n•nThe first pyrotechnology application, which is the process of burning and quenching lime, was carried out.n•n* As in places we have visited until now, there was no official here. Unfortunately, our shoes were covered with mud because the door was open but the ground was dirt and snowy. The protected area was open, we could enter, but the doors of the sample houses at the entrance were locked, unfortunately we could not enter there. And, as always, we were able to leave without leaving anything behind (like a human without writing or throwing our garbage). For those who fail to do this, I hope they will succeed.

Where I add new ones to my knowledge and surprise. There was no attendant, the door was started with a wire instead of a lock. We could not find an interlocutor and could not go inside, it was worth what I saw even if I looked from the outside.

It is one of the important places of Aksaray that should be visited and seen. The first brain surgery was performed here in history. Excavations are still ongoing. However, the sections unearthed are also very interesting.nWhen your trip is over, there are areas where you can have a picnic or relieve your tiredness .... Wish you enjoy your trip from now on ... Have a good trip ... Greetings and regards ...
