I'm glad they printed the sign in English, because Turkish, being a non-Indo-European language, is tough to figure out. I might have thought it meant something like "Official Picnic Area."Jul 23, 2019 The Temple of Apollo413 viewsDeliberately built on an active earthquake fault, which emits carbon dioxide gas. See the description for the Plutonion.Jul 23, 2019 The Plutonion413 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.Jul 23, 2019 Temple of Apollo and Plutonion450 viewsThe Plutonion is next to the Temple on the right of center.Jul 23, 2019 Shepherd447 viewsThe Hierapolis necropolis serves as a grazing ground for local sheep. Here Attila talks to a shepherd and his dog.Jul 23, 2019 The Hierapolis Necropolis377 viewsTombs of rich people. Potter's field this ain't.Jul 23, 2019 Temple of Apollo372 viewsThis Apollo, the chief god of Hierapolis, was linked to an ancient Anatolian sun-god, Lairbenos.Jul 22, 2019 Mineral Waters433 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.Jul 22, 2019 The Theater at Hieropolis441 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.Jul 22, 2019 The Theater at Hieropolis420 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.Jul 22, 2019 Spa Pools363 viewsWhere you can swim among sunken artifacts of the ancient city.Jul 22, 2019 31 files on 3 page(s) 1 2 3 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => a5426075761634b141da167eb52e4a44 [am] => 1 ) ========================== 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] (0.57 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (0.23 ms) [2] => SELECT user_id, time FROM `i5493328_cm1`.cm_sessions WHERE session_id = '1ae0f0300c3cd127887043ce09b2d4d3' [bridge/coppermine.inc.php:241] (0.2 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] (0.18 ms) [4] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.15 ms) [5] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (0.16 ms) [6] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (0.14 ms) [7] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (0.18 ms) [8] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2025-12-01 03:55:41' [include/init.inc.php:448] (0.64 ms) [9] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('216.73.216.55' LIKE ip_addr OR '' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (0.57 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] (0.2 ms) [11] => SELECT category, title, aid, keyword, description, alb_password_hint FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 18 [thumbnails.php:136] (0.15 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] (0.17 ms) [13] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures AS r INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid WHERE (r.aid = 18) AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' [include/functions.inc.php:1614] (0.2 ms) [14] => 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 INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid WHERE (r.aid = 18) AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' ORDER BY ctime DESC, pid DESC LIMIT 12 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1630] (1.87 ms) [15] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (0.3 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => lastup [cat] => -18 [page] => 2 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( [cpg16x_data] => YToyOntzOjI6IklEIjtzOjMyOiJhNTQyNjA3NTc2MTYzNGIxNDFkYTE2N2ViNTJlNGE0NCI7czoyOiJhbSI7aToxO30= [a520716e4e1a802c3b699f97dd5ac36c] => 9e3bc8888b98656f88ad8f298ae29eea ) ==========================
