O knihe

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Cappadocia
also Capadocia; Turkish Kapadokya, from Greek:
Kappadokía is a region in central Turkey, largely
in Nevsehir Province . The name was traditionally
used in Christian sources throughout history and is still
widely used as an international tourism concept to define a
region of exceptional natural wonders, in particular
characterized by fairy chimneys and a unique historical and
cultural heritage. The term, as used in tourism, roughly
corresponds to present-day Nevsehir Province.
Cappadocia's limits are debated. In the time of Herodotus,
the Cappadocians were reported as occupying the whole region
from Mount Taurus to the vicinity of the Euxine Black Sea.
Cappadocia, in this sense, was bounded in the south by the
chain of Mount Taurus, to the east by the Euphrates, to the
north by Pontus, and to the west by Lake Tuz, in Central
Anatolia. But Strabo, the only ancient author to provide a
major account of the area, may have greatly exaggerated its
dimensions. It is now believed that Cappadocia realistically
was limited to an area stretching 400 km 250 mi east-west and
200 km 120 mi north-south.
