Sille is a small Turkish village, near the town of Konya.
Sille Subaşı was one of the few villages where the Cappadocian Greek language was spoken until 1922. It was
inhabited by Greeks who had been living there in peaceful coexistence with the nearby Tur ks of Konya for over 800
years.
The reason for this peaceful coexistence was Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi, who was the witness of a miracle that
happened at the nearby Orthodox Christianmonastery of Saint Chariton. In the Turkish language the monastery is
now called Akmanastir and is translated as, "White Monastery". Jalal al-Din Rumi constructed a small mosque inside
the Saint Chariton monastery;.
[1] It is also notable that Jalal al-Din Rumi wrote Greek poems using the Arabic-Turkish
scripting,
[2] which is why the Greek Sille villagers wrote Turkish using the Greek alphabet scripting. This form of
writing spread across the region and was commonly known as Karamanli Turkish writing.
In the population exchanges between Greece and Turkey (1923), Turkey and Greece decided to exchange population
based on religion. After 1924, all Greek population had left the village

Çatalhöyük, one of the most important archaeological sites in the world. Since the 1960s, excavations have
uncovered a densely packed Neolithic (New Stone Age) settlement which dates back 9000 years. At a time
when most of the world's people were wandering hunter-gatherers, as many as 10,000 people lived at
Çatalhöyük.
Today all that is visible on the surface of Çatalhöyük is two mounds: the smaller and more recent to the
west of the site and the larger and more ancient to the east. However, scratch beneath the surface and the
remnants of one of the most complicated societies of its time are revealed! A team of experts from around
the world are currently working together to understand the lives of the people who lived here.
