Written by Prof. Dr. Uğur Doğan, a faculty member in the Department of Geography at Ankara University's Faculty of Language, History, and Geography, this book will open a new window for those who have visited Cappadocia and those who are curious, allowing them to journey through the region's millions of years of history. The content is designed to appeal to anyone who wants to truly learn the secrets of the Cappadocia Region's formation. Therefore, to avoid boring readers, concise information is provided, avoiding scientific jargon as much as possible, and is illustrated with maps, figures, and photographs. This work, which also includes the results of the author's 20-year-long research in the Cappadocia Region, is designed as a handbook for everyone. The book examines the volcanism and volcanic rocks that give Cappadocia its character, the formation of the Kızılırmak Valley, fossil deposits of vertebrates that lived in the region millions of years ago, and the formation of fairy chimneys and the Ihlara Valley. Additionally, the region's travertine formations and the Tuzköy salt cave, which may be of interest to visitors, are also featured, as are Sofular and Aşıklı Mound, two important Neolithic settlements that shed light on human history. We hope this book will help you learn the scientific secrets you've been wondering about regarding the region's natural formations and help you correct any misconceptions you may have.
