EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Pietro Ronchetti in 1976-1977, we see a tourist group embarking on an extraordinary journey to the buried city of Kaymakli in Turkey. Arriving on mules, these intrepid explorers are about to embark on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure through history. The image captures the rugged beauty of the Turkish landscape as rocky hillsides surround the group, creating a dramatic backdrop for their expedition. The mules stand patiently, ready to transport their riders through this ancient site that has been hidden beneath layers of time. As we examine the photo closely, we notice both men and women dressed in typical fashion of the era. Their clothing is practical yet stylish, reflecting their desire for comfort during long hours spent exploring this remarkable archaeological wonder. Kaymakli itself remains partially underground, with its labyrinthine tunnels and chambers carved into soft volcanic rock. This geomorphological marvel provides insight into how people lived centuries ago and offers visitors a glimpse into Turkey's rich cultural heritage. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring curiosity and thirst for knowledge. It reminds us that there is always something new to discover if we are willing to venture off the beaten path. Ronchetti's skillful composition allows us to imagine ourselves among this tourist group - feeling the excitement build as they prepare to explore Kaymakli's hidden treasures. It invites us to join them on their journey back in time and experience firsthand what it was like for those who called this ancient city home.
