Cadir Hoyuk
Cadir Hoyuk submitted by davidmorgan : Approaching Çadır Höyük. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Ancient Settlement in Yozgat Province, Turkey. Possibly the Hittite city of Zippalanda (see nearby Uşaklı Höyük for a similar claim).

Çadır Höyük is an artificial mound in central Turkey that contains the remains of some 6,000 years of human settlement. Ruined communities ranging from the Middle Chalcolithic era to the Byzantine period sit layer atop layer, reaching a height of 32 metres above the valley plain.

A team formerly led by Dr. Ron Gorny of the University of Chicago has been unearthing the site's secrets since 1993, revealing evidence that has led to a better understanding of the human geography of that great crossroads of civilizations and empires, the Anatolian plateau.

Names confused!

"Çadır Höyük" is NOT the "alternative", but the true national name, the other is the simplified, and thus wrong, US notation and nothing else.
No, I am not Turc, but an international scholar.

    There's a reason for this - Google maps used not to accept some foreign characters in its link.
