These oddly shaped and formed Turkish rock dwellings represent a time where home and nature had a far more tangible affiliation. The strange formations are thought to have been formed by a combination of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. the soft but structurally sound rock was then burrowed into by locals for shelter. A considerable irony given the birth of the formation.
