See the description for the Plutonion. The Plutonion478 viewsThe Gate to the Underworld, next to the Temple of Apollo. Leads to a small cave filled with suffocating carbon dioxide gas. The local priests knew how to find pockets of oxygen, so that they could emerge unscathed, and pretend to be under divine protection. Byzantine Gate509 viewsCharles and Elouise Mattox stroll down the main street near the Byzantine Gate. Sheep, Locals and Tourists485 viewsCherie and Sandie hang out with the locals and their ewes. Chuck Mattox in Hierapolis570 viewsDapper and debonair, as always. The Theater at Hieropolis466 viewsConstructed in the reign of Hadrian (117-138 AD), the Theater seated 15,000 people and was one of the largest and finest in the ancient world. It was wrecked by an earthquake in the 7th century AD. The Theater at Hieropolis488 viewsThe theater was undergoing restoration during the time we visited. You could still walk up the hill to see it, and some did - and shot some magnificent pictures - but Sandie and I did not, which I regret. Mineral Waters489 viewsIn the mid-20th century, hotels were built over the hot springs, causing considerable damage to the travertine terraces. The hotels were later torn down and replaced with artificial pools. Spa Pools426 viewsWhere you can swim among sunken artifacts of the ancient city. The White Cliffs of Pamukkale487 viewsThe hot springs located at Pamukkale are the source of mineral-rich water which flows over the cliffs, depositing calcium carbonate which hardens into travertine. Barefoot in Pamukkale513 viewsChuck and Elouise Mattox wade in the pools of Pamukkale, where shoelessness is mandatory. Sandie at Pamukkale509 viewsPamukkale means "cotton castle" in Turkish. 31 files on 3 page(s) 1 2 3 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => 2ce06f0e38e84401494a551ff174ea0c [am] => 1 [liv_a] => Array ( [0] => 24 [1] => 50 [2] => 27 [3] => 17 [4] => 18 ) [liv] => Array ( [0] => 713 ) ) ========================== USER DATA: ------------------ Array ( [user_id] => 0 [user_name] => Guest [groups] => Array ( [0] => 3 ) [group_quota] => 0 [can_rate_pictures] => 1 [can_send_ecards] => 0 [can_post_comments] => 0 [can_upload_pictures] => 0 [can_create_albums] => 0 [pub_upl_need_approval] => 1 [priv_upl_need_approval] => 1 [access_level] => 3 [disk_max] => 0 [disk_min] => 0 [has_admin_access] => 0 [group_name] => Guests [can_create_public_albums] => 0 [can_see_all_albums] => 0 [group_id] => 3 [allowed_albums] => Array ( ) ) ========================== Queries: ------------------ Array ( [0] => SELECT name, value FROM cm_config [include/init.inc.php:177] (0.73 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (0.28 ms) [2] => SELECT user_id, time FROM `i5493328_cm1`.cm_sessions WHERE session_id = '6f13db208a132eaca5a998af37c54be7' [bridge/coppermine.inc.php:241] (0.27 ms) [3] => SELECT MAX(group_quota) AS disk_max, MIN(group_quota) AS disk_min, MAX(can_rate_pictures) AS can_rate_pictures, MAX(can_send_ecards) AS can_send_ecards, MAX(can_post_comments) AS can_post_comments, MAX(can_upload_pictures) AS can_upload_pictures, MAX(can_create_albums) AS can_create_albums, MAX(has_admin_access) AS has_admin_access, MAX(access_level) AS access_level, MIN(pub_upl_need_approval) AS pub_upl_need_approval, MIN( priv_upl_need_approval) AS priv_upl_need_approval FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:350] (0.3 ms) [4] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.24 ms) [5] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (0.19 ms) [6] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (0.85 ms) [7] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (0.24 ms) [8] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2026-01-29 12:48:42' [include/init.inc.php:448] (1.21 ms) [9] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('216.73.216.162' LIKE ip_addr OR '' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (1.48 ms) [10] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE (1 AND visibility != 0 AND visibility != 10000 AND visibility NOT IN (3)) [include/functions.inc.php:1110] (1.15 ms) [11] => SELECT category, title, aid, keyword, description, alb_password_hint FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 18 [thumbnails.php:96] (8.06 ms) [12] => SELECT p.cid, p.name FROM cm_categories AS c, cm_categories AS p WHERE c.lft BETWEEN p.lft AND p.rgt AND c.cid = 14 ORDER BY p.lft [include/functions.inc.php:2940] (0.35 ms) [13] => SELECT null FROM cm_albums WHERE category < 10000 AND uploads='YES' AND (visibility = '0' OR visibility IN (3)) AND aid = '18' [include/themes.inc.php:2063] (1.07 ms) [14] => SELECT null FROM cm_albums WHERE category < 10000 AND uploads='YES' AND (visibility = '0' OR visibility IN (3)) AND aid = '18' [include/themes.inc.php:2063] (0.22 ms) [15] => SELECT title, keyword FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 18 [include/functions.inc.php:2461] (0.86 ms) [16] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures WHERE ((aid='18' AND aid NOT IN (12, 51) ) ) AND approved='YES' [include/functions.inc.php:1408] (0.77 ms) [17] => SELECT r.pid, r.aid, filepath, filename, url_prefix, pwidth, pheight, filesize, ctime, r.title, r.keywords, r.votes, pic_rating, hits, caption, r.owner_id, user1, user2, user3, user4 FROM cm_pictures AS r WHERE ((aid = 18 AND aid NOT IN (12, 51) ) )AND approved='YES' ORDER BY position ASC, pid ASC LIMIT 12 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1439] (1.66 ms) [18] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (0.25 ms) [19] => UPDATE cm_albums SET alb_hits = alb_hits + 1 WHERE aid = 18 [include/functions.inc.php:2895] (1.39 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => 18 [page] => 2 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( [a520716e4e1a802c3b699f97dd5ac36c] => 84e02df63487fcb89f7bcc91a195653a [cpg16x_data] => YTo0OntzOjI6IklEIjtzOjMyOiIyY2UwNmYwZTM4ZTg0NDAxNDk0YTU1MWZmMTc0ZWEwYyI7czoyOiJhbSI7aToxO3M6NToibGl2X2EiO2E6NTp7aTowO2k6NTI7aToxO2k6MjQ7aToyO2k6NTA7aTozO2k6Mjc7aTo0O2k6MTc7fXM6MzoibGl2IjthOjE6e2k6MDtzOjM6IjcxMyI7fX0= ) ==========================
