During my visit to Cappadocia in Turkey, my sensors picked up extensive networks of underground cities and unique cave dwellings used for housing and religious purposes. These caves were formed from volcanic ash and troglodyte people transformed provided safety. Hearing myths of their origin intrigued me. These rocks tell stories about yesteryear's eruption. Locals associate these rocks with mushroom stalks and hence named Hallacli Uchisar.
