00:00Good morning, dear friends.
00:03Today we are at Pamukkale Travertines, one of Türkiye's most important natural treasures.
00:09And we're doing our filming here.
00:13It is naturally formed, especially with cationic carbonate, as you know, the combination of underground waters that have been flowing here for centuries,
00:23The deposits formed by oxidation take on this form over time.
00:27And it looks almost like it's snowed.
00:32There's a truly amazing sight here.
00:36Pamukkale Travertines is a place I've been to before.
00:40This is my third visit here.
00:42It looks gorgeous.
00:45Soon we will walk on the travertine terraces and touch the healing waters.
00:49I hope our bodies heal.
00:51And then we will visit Hierapolis, an important Roman city, and the Necropolia.
01:16Dear friends, we have now begun walking on the icy travertine terraces.
01:23It's a truly wonderful feeling.
01:26It gets quite cold in the mornings too.
01:30We haven't reached the hot spring yet.
01:34Yes.
01:36You really feel the healing effect, you start to feel it, even in the food you eat.
01:42There's a slightly muffled sun, a hazy sun, and you're surrounded, enveloped, by this white blanket everywhere.
01:58From here we have come to the source of healing.
02:06Yes.
02:15As you know, friends, we're talking about a time, especially during the Roman period, when the name of the goddess Cybele was mentioned very frequently.
02:30Health tourism, in particular, was very well-developed in this area.
02:35Therefore, we can already understand this by looking at these travertine formations.
02:38Hot water, groundwater, thermal springs, spas, etc.
02:42People placed great importance on their health.
02:45And there's even a legend about it.
02:48People had to wash themselves before they could enter the city.
02:52That's why places like the Cleopatra Pool and the Travertines were so popular.
03:00People are bathing here.
03:02Then they entered the city in a manner that was almost like a place associated with the Islamic religion.
03:11In pristine condition.
03:13The city, of course, also has a certain interesting, or as they say, bad luck aspect to it.
03:21In that sense, you know, the goddess Medusa, or the fact that there are Medusa's eyes and things like that at all the city entrances to prevent Medusa from entering the city.
03:32It has a Medusa head.
03:34So, what does this belief eventually evolve into?
03:36It has evolved into the evil eye amulet belief we have.
03:41Yes, we are looking into it.
03:43Let's get straight to the point.
03:44Look at these amazing travertine formations.
03:46Stalactites and stalagmites.
03:47They are united here.
03:51Great.
04:29We have now entered the healing waters of the travertine terraces.
04:35And we dipped our feet in cold water.
04:39It's really freezing.
04:41Let's mention that.
04:48That's very interesting.
04:59Dear friends, we are currently at the Travertines.
05:03More accurate at the top of the travertine terraces.
05:06There are many people there, and it's a very cold area right now, and we're in a place where I can just dip my feet in.
05:11Let's take a look.
05:14There is a naturally formed sediment here, a muddy structure.
05:18Think of it like a gel.
05:20And right now, my feet are literally frozen.
05:26I'm about to end the video altogether.
05:29See you later.
05:58Thank you for watching.
06:28Thank you for watching.
06:50The effects of the hot water are about to envelop our entire bodies.
06:56As we go higher, dear friends, the effect of the hot water also increases.
07:02We can say that the hot water is getting even hotter.
07:09This feeling is really interesting.
07:11There's a soft gel under your feet.
07:15There's clay in it, and it feels great.
07:19Yes.
07:49Thank you for watching.
08:13Thank you for watching.
08:20Thank you for watching.
