Why does this canyon have strange hollowed out rock formations like nothing else in the world

Hey guys, on this episode, I'm going to take you to mysterious stone buildings. People call these melted stone buildings. But I'm here in the land of many horses, otherwise known as Cappadocia in Turkey, where every single canyon is carved into a melted or mysterious ancient city. I'm going to go climb into places where no one has ever shown before on YouTube. Holy, what the heck is that? This place is unreal. This is epic, guys. These were all originally carved out during the Knights Templar days. How exciting is that? They were in this valley when they buried all their treasure. This was a Christian civilization before they got taken over by another religion. At one time, all the walls were painted with beautiful Christian paintings, but unfortunately they were all removed when a different group took over. These have been relived in for the last 2,000 years. This looks like it was lived in maybe even into the 60s or something. Look at this, firewood, water, man, I would even come camp in here. Look at that. We can look out and see other buildings. That is cool. Someone's been living in here, having a fire. It wasn't even that long ago they made their own lamp with a pop can. This would have just been an oil lamp. They have a ton of olive oil here. He was drinking, drinking some good wine. Whoever it was was living pretty dang good. I kind of want to come back here and camp. It stays pretty warm, but let's climb back out and see what else we can find. Look, already there's another one there, a shelter here still full of wood. So let's climb back out. Someone put a nice tree for me. Can't believe there's still snow. I thought there would be, I thought it would be a lot warmer. Back home it's warmer than this. All right, that. Oh my God, look at all the shelves. What the heck? What were all the shelves for? That is cool. Wow. Man, that is wild. Unfortunately, it's getting a little windy out there. I'll cover the speaker or the mic. So this is an old orchard. Wow. There's steps going up there. I have to go back to there. This one actually has windows up there. Look at that little pup. Hey, pups. Oh, poor dogs. They're just living in garbage. Hey, puppies. Yeah, that's full. They just filled that place up like a dumpster. Man, that's unfortunate. Guys, I just found a ladder. Should we climb the ladder? Looks pretty old, covered in snow. Let's test it out. Ladder's pretty slippery. Oh, wow. Looks like a big room. Huh. Wow. That's pretty dang creepy. Looks like there was a secret tunnel. Look at all that. Just from falling through that tiny hole, all this has come down from one tiny hole. Wow. That is crazy. The Knights Templar, their treasure can be buried in this. And I'm not far from the Darenkuyu Underground City, where 20,000 people once lived underground. And that has a four-mile shaft that goes to another city, where another 7,000 people once lived. And that city, I think, was only found in the 80s or 70s. I forget what year. So there could be hundreds of underground cities and treasure buried around here. Everywhere you look, there's some kind of secret little city, rock formations. Like, imagine if I had my metal detector out here. Look at that stairs over there. What the heck? Look how perfect these stairs are. They had nice drainage ditches on both sides. The opposite side has more hidden homes, bunkers. Where the heck does this lead? Look at that beautiful formation. Now I'm really curious. I just saw a hole up here. And I bet I could probably climb up. Let's go take a look. So the hole is about 10 feet above me. There's that ladder. We were just inside this hole. I didn't notice there was a room above it. This stuff is really crumbly. So I'll try to get up. Who knows if I can? Guys, I think I made it. That is going to be so sketchy climbing down. It's so crumbly. Look at this old door. Someone had sticks in here. Whoa. Holy crap. So it's a tiny little door getting in. My knees. Hurts the knees. Ay. OK. We're in. We are in. All right. Wow. Someone was burning plastic in here. Whoa. Here is the tool marks. Yeah, that's tool marks. Some kind of metal was rubbing off. Wow. Much else up in here. Not looking forward to climbing back down. Look at this beautiful handmade door. Thing's a work of art. Someone spent some time on that. Dang. Now I've got to climb down. Wish me luck, guys. Look at this, guys. Let's go inside. You can hear the singing now. That's the Islam. They have speakers all throughout the city. And they do this from 5 AM, something else. I forget, but you hear it every single day. This place is wild. Look at that stone circle, water drainage, little peep hole. This entire thing was carved out. Look at this beautiful handmade, like it's hand forged door. It's like square nails. And we can go upstairs. Whoa. Look at these sketchy, sketchy stairs. Wow. Whoa. That's not sketchy. Rocks held up by branches. Let's climb up and check it out. Whoa. Ay-yi-yi. Look at that. Wow. Little rooms everywhere. Imagine how long it took to cut this out. Whoa. That must have been the bed there. Holy crap. Look at the tool markings. What the? There's another level. Holy crap. I feel like a little kid again. Oh, wow. A secret chamber. No. Guys, I feel like Indiana Jones. What the heck could be up here? It's a tiny, tiny little hole. If you were chubby, you couldn't make it up. I'm having a hard time. Leagues are too long. Wow. Holy. What the heck? There's like 10 different levels. This is nothing like I've ever seen before in my life. Holy. Secret doorways, air vents, another secret room. Dang. I want to live in one of these. Wine bobble. Oh, man, that is cool. That is so dang cool. I wonder if I could balance my phone. Trying to balance. Come on. I just balanced my phone so you guys can see how big it really is. We'll keep exploring. You never know. Knights Templar. Treasures could be up here. Look at that paint. That is paint. Huh. Secret storage. This could have been another bed. There's a comb right there. Man, this is so dang cool. So sketchy with all these cracks. No way. This was a secret chamber. You can tell it had a cap, and that's where they would have hidden stuff. But of course, it's completely filled with trash. That is so unfortunate. More of those secret chambers. This is the coolest thing I have ever personally explored. Look at this. You can walk right around this. What the heck? That is cool. Walking right around this little island. Wow. That is cool. Wow. So we're going to squeeze. We're going to squeeze through this hole. You could tell even this used to have a sealed piece of stone there for defense. Look how small the hole is. Yeah, my guess is they were sleeping here. Wow. There's a sealed room here. You can tell it was filled with mud. Ay yi yi. So that all upstairs where we were walking is held up by this. Completely forgot while I was up there, but it's all starting to crack, so it's not going to last long. Must be all storage. Someone was burning something. Another sealed off spot. Huge, huge storage. Another sealed off area. Possibly another sealed spot. Another one up there. Look at all that. They made these places so nice to live in. Yeah, I'd live in this. Beautiful little. Yeah, and each doorway you could tell they must have had a huge rock they could put over top to block themselves in when the invaders came. Wow. One last look in here. Now you guys can really see how big the top floor is. So I think we're four layers up, or four stories. Can you imagine? This land has so much potential for hidden treasure. Man, I'm excited. I got like a week here. The last place I was at, it was Jordan. A lot of you people guessed right. It was Petra. I didn't want to say the exact location because of all the big, big dramas going on. I don't want to say the word, or you know what might happen. So I was in Jordan. Now I'm in Turkey. Going to take you guys exploring for a week. So get ready for a ton of videos.
