At the time that Anatolia was completing  its  geographical evolution,  these volcanic eruptions were so strong that the lava in some places was up to 100 m thick.
Over millions of years volcanoes , wind , rain and  ice sculpted what  we know as the decor of Cappadocia.
Nature was the first to arrange the decor,  but the Anatolian man carved the rocks and  built numerous churches and underground cities during  the early times of Christianity.
