Thriving Turkish City Gets Reduced To A Barren Wasteland For A Grim Purpose

Uncovering the Sinister Truth: How a Thriving Turkish City Became a Deserted Wasteland
The city of Ani, located in the north-eastern region of modern-day Turkey, is more than likely the greatest city you’ve never heard of. In the metropolis’ 11th-century heyday, it was a booming power thanks to its location along the lucrative Silk Road trade route. With some 100,000 inhabitants, it was also one of the world’s most populous cities. Fast-forward some one thousand years to the Ani of today, however, and, incredibly, what remains of this once-buzzing metropolis is an abandoned and forgotten set of ancient ruins.
