1994 I was stationed in Turkey, rumors about a farmer finding large stone in his field turned out to be Gobeckli Teppe: Dated 12,000 years old and now a great mystery. Been to Anatolia and can believe much more than meets the eye but very populated area. (Good catch:Darrell; click on “Turkey” first paragraph ) Photos of find can be viewed and you can see trash shows this is no news for the locals. I do hope though this site will be as interesting as Derinkuyu (Cappadocya area) 13 Stories of dwellings below ground (Zoroastrian era) can handle over 20,000 people with unique security doors, air vents found in 1968 I think. We will see, but 5,000 years for this area is just another notch in their long historical belt. To this day (check your news) Asia Minor has played a big role in history of ManKind! Then and now.
I remember back in 1985 when I was 9 years old, I went to visit my grandparents in Mexico. They had a huge ranch adjacent to some rugged forest area in Michuaca n . One day a horse broke out of the coral. So my grandpa and I took a horse back ride through the forest to try and find the horse. We searched for about an hour and a half through some rugged mountains following the trail of broken vegetation the runway horse left. As we were going up a mountain in the middle of nowhere, I suddenly noticed some steps built of some stone or brick like material leading straight up the side of the mountain. I didn’t think much of it til one day in middle school, we were studying Aztec and Mayan culture and it finally dawned on me. We were probably walking on an ancient Aztec pyramid buried under dirt and vegetation with just some steps exposed. Long story short, we found the horse and probably an ancient city no one has discovered yet.
