Hieraopolis translates to hero city. It was settled by The Phregians (spelling ?) and then the Lyciens (spelling?) and then The Romans. Christians took it over in The Byzantium period And people lived there until the 1300's at which point there had been so many earthquakes they abandoned the place. There are also mineral springs on the site which most likely attracted people in the first place. One of the apostles -Philip-was also killed in Hieraopolos. An octagonal tomb and a church were built on the spot where he died.
It's hot here. I am burning. I am too white for this part of the country.
