Arounded cliffs and mountains have nearly 20-25 metres high mountains and somewhere 15 metres cliffs. In general, topography is smooth where haven’t got cliffs.

Taşkale

After the Meke Maar we went to Taşkele to observe how people combine topography and natural structre together. Also they used the unique cliff where is 20 metre high rock. People opened the stone about 6 metres to made amber. Human could not went directly inside the ambers, we have to climb to reach them.
They also use sun condition very effectly, they open and they land their structures on south because of in winter sunlight goes directly inside the ambers.
