These always amaze me. I wonder how our ancestors, who had way less technology then than we do today, were able to build just magnificent structures. Sumela Monastery located within the Pontic Mountains, in the Maçka district of Trabzon Province in modern Turkey. Established c. 386 CE
@CreasonJana Amazing built into the mountain like that! Beautiful🔥🇺🇸🙏
@CreasonJana @Ilegvm How do you know they had less technology than we do? We have no idea what actually happened in past civilizations. Everything we have pieced together is based on educated guesses drawn from whatever clues we can find...
@CreasonJana @4Mischief I believe the landscape in front of the structure crumbled down afterwards
@CreasonJana Each generation is dumbed down, imho
@CreasonJana @ToscaAusten Intriguing when they had no cranes, trucks or power equipment
@CreasonJana @janninereid1 Wow. Before they build it, can you imagine someone conceiving of it first? "Hey everybody! Lets build a big monastery right on the side of a mountain, and we'll sorta blend it in with the mountain. It'll be so cool!" For the guy who thought it up - you rock!
@CreasonJana @Pixie1z I was just talking about this earlier. Amazing.
