O
Rýchle fakty: Výroba vlny urobila toto mesto v staroveku nesmierne bohatým, pričom miestne ovce boli cenené pre svoju tmavofialovočiernu vlnu. Mohutné zemetrasenie zrovnalo mesto so zemou v 7. storočí a jeho ruiny zostali pochované pod 10 metrami riečneho bahna.
Zaujímavosti: Na rozdiel od svojich známejších susedov Hierapolis a Laodicea, táto lokalita zostáva takmer úplne nevykopaná, čo znamená, že celé rímske mesto spí pod roľníckymi poliami. Pri prechádzke po travnatom návrší môžete doslova cítiť obrysy ulíc a budov priamo pod nohami, nedotknuté archeológmi viac ako 1 300 rokov.
Insiderské tipy
- Wear sturdy walking shoes, the uneven terrain of the unexcavated tell (mound) is covered with loose stones and animal burrows.
- Visit after rain when the wet earth reveals pottery shards and tile fragments pushed to the surface, but never remove any artifacts.
- Stop at the Denizli Archaeology Museum afterward to see the few artifacts recovered from here, including coins and inscriptions.
- Bring binoculars to spot the faint outlines of the ancient theater and city walls visible in the contours of the wheat fields.
