@inceptiontravelers: Hidden beneath the streets of Istanbul lies the Basilica Cistern, a 6th-century underground masterpiece supported by 336 marble columns. And tucked away inside? Two mysterious Medusa heads, one upside down and one on its side, whose true origin is still unknown 🐍✨ One of the most surreal places we’ve ever visited 🇹🇷 #Turkiye #GoTurkiye #Turkey #BasilicaCistern #istanbul
Turkiye is such a great place to visit. Headed back in October and cannot wait!

It’s as if the boom of civilization were given a “cheat code” then we lost it all with the burning of our collective human history. Like something gave them the “building blocks” of life but we dropped it along the way.

Video doesn’t do it justice. Seeing her in person is just magical. Can’t explain it.

Yes; by humans... stop doubting ancient human civilizations. They had the same talents we have developed today with technology.

It’s pretty impressive what they made back then. Honestly their buildings are more impressive than modern buildings.

The art sculptures were added when it was turned into an exhibit. many of the columns were reclaimed/stolen from other buildings when the Roman's took over Constantinople... thats why there no uniformity of design in the columns - theyre different shapes and have different ornamentation on them.
