The Greco-Persian wonders of Mount Nemrut,
经历着冬天的严寒
where the winters are harsh.
再往西利奇亚的岩石陵墓
Further west, the rock tombs of Lycia,
还有古希腊的以弗所城市遗址
and the Ancient Greek site of Ephesus
这里一年四季都能看到太阳
see sun all year long.
在这些地方里
Of all these places,
其中一个古迹很显眼
one ancient site stands out
也许也是全欧洲最奇怪的
as perhaps the strangest in all of Europe.
在土耳其西部
In western Turkey,
神秘的白色♥色♥块在地貌上散落
mysterious splashes of bright white break up the winter landscape,
但这并不是雪
but this isn't snow.
靠近观察发现了一个古城
A closer view reveals an ancient town
它坐落在最大的白色斑点之一附近
nestled close to one of the largest white patches.
这是古希腊小城希拉波利斯
This is the Ancient Greek town of Hierapolis.
空中视角展示一边是公共澡堂
Our aerial view reveals on one side communal baths,
一座奢华的剧院
a lavish theater,
还有数千座精心打造的坟墓
and thousands of elaborate tombs.
另一边是超凡脱俗的地貌
On the other, an otherworldly landscape
纯白色的矿物池
of pure white mineral pools,
充满温暖的火山泉
brimming with warm, volcanic springs.
这座城市为何有两幅面貌
What was this strange, two-sided city?
考古学家乔斯昆·达斯巴贾
Archaeologist Coskun Dasbacak
研究土耳其古代历史超过30年
has studied Turkey's ancient past for over 30 years.
他和他的同事阿里夫
He and his colleague, Arif,
正在揭开这个神秘古迹的秘密
are uncovering the secrets of this mysterious ancient site.
两个奇迹肩并肩的景象相当独特也很神奇
It's completely unique and enchanting to find two wonders, side-by-side,
一个是人造
one man made,
一个是大自然的鬼斧山工
one a feat of nature.
当地人将那片白色的山坡命名为
Locals named the bright white hillside
"Pamukkale" 意为“棉花城♥堡♥”
"Pamukkale," meaning "cotton fortress."
从17座火山温泉里
Hot, mineral-rich water emerges from the Earth here
地表冒出了富含矿物质的热泉水
in 17 volcanic springs.
留下了一块呈明亮白色的沉积物被称为“石灰华”
They leave behind a bright white deposit called "travertine,"
只有从空中看才能真正欣赏它的规模
the scale of which can only be truly appreciated from above.
从空中视角看棉花城♥堡♥
A sky-high view of Pamukkale
看起来就像石化的瀑布
reveals petrified waterfalls,
被强大的自然力量
and entire buildings frozen in time
冻结在时间里的建筑
by this powerful force of nature.
但棉花城♥堡♥并非这里唯一的自然奇迹
But Pamukkale isn't the site's only natural wonder.
这里还隐藏着另一个更黑暗的秘密
There's another, much darker secret hidden here.
这些是地狱之门
These are the Gates of Hell,
也许是世界上最不寻常的动物献祭地点
perhaps the world's most unusual site of animal sacrifice.
人们在这里举♥行♥宗教仪式
People held religious ceremonies here
为了向冥界之神普鲁托致敬
in honor of Pluto, god of the underworld.
希拉波利斯市的建造者
The founders of Hierapolis
在冒着热气的火山口上建造了这座神庙
built this temple over a steaming volcanic vent
公元前2世纪
in the 2nd century BC.
神殿内有一个洞穴充满着有毒气体
A grotto inside the temple would fill with toxic gases,
围观的群众在一旁看着牧师引导公牛走进去
and eager crowds would watch on as priests led bulls inside it.
公牛会被毒死
The bulls would drop dead from the fumes,
而牧师则会屏住呼吸
whilst the priests emerged unscathed,
毫发无损地走出来
by holding their breath.
直到今天
Even today,
洞穴里充满的气体
the gases that fill this grotto
还能看到它们从水面下渗透出来
are visible on the surface of the water that now seeps out of it.
这一奇迹让希拉波利斯声名大噪
This apparent miracle made Hierapolis famous,
这个城市因此变得富有
and the city grew rich from it.
今天来自世界各地的访客
Today, visitors from all over the world
都来此一睹这古老土地的风采
come here to catch a glimpse of this ancient land,
在看似像魔法的背后
where natural phenomena have given rise
是自然的奇迹现象
to the seemingly magical.
每次看过去这美景都能让我窒息
The view takes my breath away every time I look up.
我的子孙后代
My children and my grandchildren
也能继续欣赏这种美景
will continue to be mesmerized by the sight.
土耳其是欧洲通往东方的窗口
Turkey is Europe's window to the east,
这片土地不仅连接了两片大♥陆♥
a land that bridges not only continents,
还连接了时间
but also time,
古老传统与现代创新相结合
where ancient practices and modern innovation combine,
穿越奇幻地貌和多种文化
across fantastical landscapes and diverse cultures,
自豪地回望过去
looking proudly back to its past,
热切地期盼未来
and eagerly towards its future,
建造了我们今天所看到的
to create the great nation
伟大国家
that we see today.
