Cappadocia ~ A Cave House
People lived in this region long before Christ. The caves have always been a sanctuary for the oppressed. Early Christians came here when they were outlawed by the Romans. Turks lived alongside them many generations later to avoid their Arab masters. As a result a Shamanic-Christian culture developed traces of which may still be found today.
Make no mistake traditional life in Cappadocia is hard. The winters are very cold and the summers as hot as on the Mediterranean coast. The soil is fertile but harvesting still requires manual work. People still live in caves, although not this one.
