Shannon Elricksen on 01 Jun 09Cappadocia is an area in central Turkey known for it's unique moon-like landscape. For millions of years, the volcanoes of the Central Anatolian Plateau spewed their contents across the lands that would later become the cradle of civilization. Blessed with a moderate climate and fertile volcanic soul, one of the world's earliest communities was founded 10,000 years ago at Catalhoyuk along the river banks of the Casambasuyu near Konya. Mankind's first nature painting, found here, portrays the most recent eruption of Hasan Dagi nearly 9000 years ago. Now, It's snow capped peaks dominate the Konya plain.
