Pamukkale and the Hierapolis

Pamukkale is created by natural thermal hotsprings that bubble up calcium carbonate. As the calcium carbonate accumulated over the years, they created entire mountains blazing in white! The ancient romans believed the thermal hotpsprings to have healing properties and built an entire city of bathhouses for the elites. The funny outcome is a giant mountain with lots of fun thermal pools to play in and people roaming around the roman ruins in their bathing suits.

What is this impressive structure you ask? Oh, just the bathroom. NBD (for my international followers and parentals, NBD means "no big deal").
