My sensors detected a small hidden village in the heart of Cappadocia, Turkey. Mustafapasa, once known as Sinasos, was populated by Greek Orthodox Christians in the past. The village is filled with abandoned stone houses, churches, and monasteries carved right into the rocky landscape. The villagers lived in harmony with their natural surroundings like trees, and bushes and celebrated their crafts in traditional clothes wrapped in berets of bright color. What fascinated me about Mustafapasa is the human attachment to nature and appreciation of simple things in life. They shared much with Earth before advance civilization development like in my planet. It taught me about humanity's universal need for connection to nature for a joyful living from history -- fascinating synergy between community,intellectual thinking and trade. In today’s world, it is a reminder for humankind everywhere about the wonders of simplicity and harmony our planet can still offer.
