Here we are going to show you a little bit about the oldest city in Turkey, but first, we are going to have to get some breakfast because we are just getting up and we are pretty hungry. Let's go!
Well, that's how all the kids in town are. Yes, they see us peeking in and say "Hello".
It's one of the few cities in Turkey where we could see that the old town is preserved so well and.... Yes, it looks all quite medieval. There are no buildings in this area. You can see an Arab influence in the architecture.
Ah yes, this place is for breakfast. Even if it's for tea, I don't know if we'll find food. A simit... We should look for a bakery, right?
Well, entering the bazaar area here in Urfa. The bazaar was built by Suleiman the Magnificent in the 16th century. The city dates back to the 4th or 5th century BC.
The oldest inhabited city in Turkey.
The prophets Abraham, Moses... were here. It is called the city of the prophets, in fact.
The pond... We were told that it is one of the most representative areas of the city.
We are entering a mosque that inside has the cave of Abraham, one of the most important prophets in the history of mankind. It is believed that in this cave Abraham was born and raised until he was 15 years old. Here people wash themselves, or clean themselves before entering the mosque, wash their feet in general, wash their face, their hands, everything... Well, here what happens is that the women are divided on one side and the men on the other. The women go on the left side, and the men on the right side. You have to leave your shoes there at the door, and it's free entrance.
Legend has it that Abraham declared war on the idols, many, many years ago. We are talking about the prophet Abraham. Because of this, he fell out with King Nimrod,
and basically, the Lord told him... To the stake! But what happened? When they wanted to set Abraham on fire, when they wanted to burn him alive, apparently, the bonfire was transformed into this pool with fish that we see here. In other words, Abraham could not be burned, and instead, a great pool of water was generated. The legend also says that if you kill one of these fish, you are blinded for life.
