More than 10 million years ago, the landscape of Cappadocia, Turkey consisted of active volcanoes. Aeons worth of eruptions dumped layers of mud, ash, and lava on the area, which compressed and turned into tufa, a soft, porous rock. Erosion by rain, snow, and wind created fantastic rock formations resembling chimneys, cones, needles, pillars and pyramids. Earthquakes added vast valleys and oxidation gave the area an artistic touch: rocks painted many colors.
No one is really sure when people came to inhabit Cappadocia but by 600 BC there are references in ancient texts to the Kingdom of Cappadocia.
Cappadocia has changed little over the centuries - with the exception of the addition of a booming tourist industry. People travel between their farms and villages in donkey- and horse-drawn carts, much like the one shown above.
