00:00I'm Ryohei Suzuki, a navigator.
00:03I'm going to take you to Cappadocia, the land of wonder that the Turks are proud of.
00:13It's a land of wonder created by ancient volcanic activity.
00:21The rocks, which look like a tower with a pointed roof, are everywhere.
00:30This is the world heritage site of the day.
00:33This is the cave ruins of the Gioreme National Park and Cappadocia.
00:44People have dug rocks and dug the ground to live in this land of wonder.
00:53This cave-filled rocky mountain used to be a high-rise residential area.
01:02And there was the world's largest underground city, which extends deep into the ground.
01:14It's an underground city where 20,000 people lived.
01:19Now, let's walk through Cappadocia.
01:28Cappadocia is located in the middle of Turkey.
01:33The Gioreme National Park is located in the center of Cappadocia.
01:41It's about 1,000 meters above sea level.
01:44Cappadocia is located in the highlands of Turkey.
01:54The Gioreme Valley is like a tower.
01:59It's like a world of fairies.
02:07What's surprising is its size.
02:15The Gioreme Valley is about 1,000 meters high.
02:21Some are 50 meters high.
02:32The rocks with the pointed roof have been called the chimney of fairies.
02:45The chimney of fairies
02:51Why is it shaped like this?
03:05The chimney of fairies has many different shapes.
03:15The chimney of fairies
03:21There are many pointed roofs on top of a large rock.
03:29The chimney of fairies
03:41Only the upper part of the chimney is shaped like a pillar.
03:58There are many different shapes of pointed roofs.
04:10But none of them are the same.
04:18When you touch the ground,
04:21you can feel the wind.
04:26This is a volcanic rock.
04:31It's a volcanic rock that can be eroded by rain or wind.
04:43But why is it shaped like this?
04:51It's because only the upper part of the chimney is a little hard.
05:03In ancient times, there were rivers and wetlands in Cappadocia.
05:07When there was an eruption,
05:10a high-temperature volcanic flow was deposited in the wetland.
05:16The water was heated by the volcanic flow,
05:19and a substance called silica was released from the volcanic rock.
05:24It is thought that when it cools down and hardens again, it becomes hard.
05:31On the other hand, the bottom of the hardened layer is where the volcanic rock was deposited before the eruption.
05:39Eventually, it was eroded by rain from the cracks in the rock,
05:44and it became like a pillar.
05:49The bottom is softer than the top,
05:52so the erosion progresses faster.
05:56This is where the upper part of the chimney is still hard.
06:02The erosion progresses in different ways depending on the location,
06:06so it has various shapes.
06:13Cappadocia is full of rocks,
06:16but there is only a little green left between the adjacent rocks.
06:23What is this green?
06:36It was a grape.
06:53Grapes are a specialty of Cappadocia,
06:56and wine is also made from them.
07:02In fact, the soil of the volcanic rock is well-watered,
07:06so it is suitable for the cultivation of grapes.
07:11The eruption of the volcano brought not only hope,
07:14but also delicious grapes to this land.
07:23And the rock was also a house.
07:29What is the high-rise residential area where the ancient people lived?
07:38Countless holes in the rock mountain used to be where people lived.
07:44It is called a cave residence.
07:47The industrial rock is soft, so it was relatively easy to carve.
08:04The high-rise residential area with the Sanagara rock.
08:08The erosion progresses now,
08:11and there is also a room with a round view inside.
08:18The church was also built.
08:21Before the Roman Empire recognized Christianity,
08:25the early Christians who were exiled moved to this land around the 3rd century.
08:32The cave churches and shrines were excavated,
08:36and they were used as a place of worship.
08:40The church was built around the 11th century.
08:45More than 600 members of the church have been buried here.
08:56The church was built around the 11th century.
09:02The interior was beautiful beyond imagination.
09:11The pillars and ceilings were all carved out by hand.
09:24The church was built by a Christian named the Orthodox Church,
09:29which spread throughout Eastern Europe.
09:40The last supper depicted on the wall.
09:45What is placed on the table is not bread, but fish.
09:52The fish was a symbol of salvation.
10:03Another church.
10:06Another church.
10:09This is a geometric pattern.
10:14From the 8th to the 9th century,
10:17the Orthodox Church was forbidden to depict Christ or saints,
10:22so it was painted in this pattern.
10:37Inside, there is a pattern like a fairy chimney,
10:42a distant memory hidden by the cave church.
10:49And the traces of Christianity
10:53can be found in the Great Gate in the south of Cappadocia.
10:59The church is 18 kilometers long and 150 meters deep.
11:05It was built by an ancient volcanic activity.
11:14The church was carved out of a series of holes.
11:21The holes were mainly used to build houses and churches.
11:33When you enter one of the holes,
11:40you will find a church cemetery.
11:44The graves were also carved out of rocks.
11:51Inside, there is a small grave.
11:57This is a mummy of a child found from the nearby cave church.
12:05He was probably 4 or 5 years old.
12:11He lived in a world full of rocks.
12:16He died in a small Christian city.
12:25There were the largest underground city ruins in the world.
12:31And there were new discoveries.
12:35And there were new discoveries.
12:44At that time, I will become a bird.
12:48To meet the brilliance of this planet.
12:52At that time, I will become a fish.
12:55To touch the mysterious wavering that can only be found here.
13:00The story of the world heritage continues.

13:07the world heritage goes to the future.

14:15Today's world heritage is a cave site in Turkey, Cappadocia.
14:26About 10 years ago, when the redevelopment of the city of Cappadocia began in Nevsehir,
14:33an unexpected discovery occurred.
14:39When the building that was full of hills was demolished,
14:46an ancient cave settlement appeared.
14:56When the excavation was carried out, 700 rooms were found.
15:07When I entered from one entrance,
15:16the space was open.
15:19It's bigger than I thought.
15:26Below that,
15:33there is another space.
15:36The cave settlement is hidden everywhere in this area.
15:42It's deep underground.
15:4830 kilometers south from the center of Cappadocia,
15:53in the middle of the 20th century,
15:56the world's largest underground city was discovered.
16:03There are more than 30 underground cities in Cappadocia.
16:12One of the most representative is here.
16:18It's called Derinkuyu.
16:22When I got off, I saw a dark and narrow passage.
16:34It's like a maze.
16:45This is the first basement floor.
16:49On the first basement floor,
16:52there is a kitchen and a wine storage room,
16:55just like all the other underground cities.
17:00This is a wine storage room.
17:03It is said that grapes were grown here
17:06and wine was made here in the past.
17:18Derinkuyu spread like an ant's nest under the ground.
17:25It is said that 20,000 people lived here.
17:35Further down,
17:38there is an important building ahead.
17:49It is located beyond the fence.
17:55This is a well.
17:57Derinkuyu, the name of this underground city,
18:00means a deep well.
18:02This well is the origin of the name.
18:06The well was dug from the ground to the bottom of the water,
18:1085 meters below the surface.
18:12First, the well was dug and then the city was expanded.
18:19As you go down,
18:21you can't tell the direction of the well
18:24because of the complicated branches inside.
18:35After a while,
18:37a huge device appeared in front of you.
18:43It's a thick, disk-shaped stone.
18:48It weighs 200 kilograms.
18:52If you block the passage like this,
18:55you can prevent the enemy from entering.
19:07The underground city was built to protect itself from the enemy.
19:12It was destroyed by the Roman Empire,
19:15and after the 7th century,
19:17the Christians, who were also attacked by Islam,
19:21built the city.
19:29There was a space on the way.
19:34It is believed that this was a church.
19:39The wall and ceiling are full of traces of digging.
19:46The huge underground city was dug one by one,
19:50and everything was made by hand.
20:09There are over 30 underground cities,
20:13but it is estimated that there are actually more than 10.
20:38The people of Cappadocia use these caves in various ways.
20:45The person who made a souvenir shop
20:50guided me inside.
20:58This place where the old wall remains
21:01used to be used as a livestock shed.
21:09There was also a space in the back.
21:20I heard that this place was here before the Kigen.
21:29A long time ago,
21:32a man lived here.
21:35A long time ago,
21:37what kind of person lived here,
21:40and what kind of life did he lead?
21:49There was a passage leading to the basement.
21:59What was at the end of the stairs
22:06was a well.
22:08Is there another underground city under this well?
22:19This is another underground city.
22:26I was able to enter a special place.
22:31How far can we go with that scene?
22:37Canon's advanced technology supports the challenge of a new video of world heritage.
22:46A three-dimensional image full of realism captures the expression of the city.
22:55World Heritage to the Future

24:03A mysterious cave ruins of Cappadocia.
24:15This is a basement city called Mazu,
24:19which was built using a cliff.
24:24From the top of the cliff,
24:27we found a structure that is unique.
24:31There is a pillar in front of it.
24:37That is one of the oldest graves found in Cappadocia.
24:44It is thought to be from around the 4th century BC.
24:49The upper part of the structure is triangular,
24:53and it is thought to be from that period,
24:57because the pillar is an ancient Greek street house.
25:03The grave was built before the Roman era,
25:07in the ancient Greek era.
25:10The origin of the basement city is trying to go back even further.
25:19In general, people are allowed to enter the basement,
25:23but this time, it is special.
25:36We are now in a large space.
25:42It goes even further.
25:47It goes all the way to the back.
25:58It goes all the way to the bottom,
26:02and to the back of the house.
26:07It goes on and on.
26:16What we know now is that it goes up to the 6th floor,
26:20and to the 2nd floor.
26:23It may be even deeper underground.
26:37The remains of Cappadocia have become a world heritage site
26:42because of its natural beauty and its unique culture.
26:52It is said that only about 10% of the Cappadocian excavations have been completed.
26:58This means that the remains of Cappadocia
27:02may still be hidden under this vast land.
27:12What happened in this land a long time ago?
27:16What kind of life did people have?
27:24Next time, we will visit the city of Luanpaban, Laos.
27:29The 2025 Canon World Heritage Calendar will be given away to 400 people.
27:34For more information, please visit the program's website.
27:39World Heritage is brought to you by Canon.
