Ravings at the Edge of Time

The history we invented — because it’s better than the real one.

Versions of the Nonexistent

If Kanlıdivane had never been abandoned, it would be one of the most enigmatic places on Earth. Above the abyss — a dome of black basalt. In the center — the Bloody Throne, where, according to legend, not rulers but their shadows take seat. A place for those who left once — and returned.

It wouldn’t attract tourists. It would draw pilgrims of silence. Secret orders would swear oaths here. Forgotten languages would echo in the dark. Processions would pass by, wordless, listening for voices in the void.

Worlds That Never Were

According to the apocryphal Codex of the Seleucids, a Temple of Tarhun-the-Oracle stood here as early as the 4th century BCE — a place where storms spoke prophecies. Later, during the Roman occultation period, Kanlıdivane became a refuge for exiled philosophers from Alexandria. Thus arose the Order of the Faceless, which allegedly lasted until the Ottoman campaigns.

In 543 CE, after the mysterious disappearance of Archbishop Mephon, the Council of the Abyss was proclaimed — a theocratic body said to receive divine guidance directly from the sinkhole. Archaeologists reportedly found stone inscriptions reading: “The speaker has been heard. The answer lies in silence.”

Phantom Architectures

“No wall can hold time. But you can build a place where time itself becomes the wall.”

Reality Blurred

The ruins still stand. The chasm is real. The platform above it — solid stone. But does it matter, when the spirit of the place still breathes?

Some researchers have noted that the acoustics of the sinkhole distort sound — as if spoken words return twisted, whispering things not quite your own. Visitors speak of déjà vu, time slippage, the feeling of being watched. Not by something. By someone.

Echo in the Void

I stood there. At the edge. Looking down. And I couldn’t tell — is it just limestone and wind? Or did someone build more than a city here?

Perhaps Kanlıdivane was never a city at all. Perhaps it was always a gate — not to another world, but to something we’ve forgotten in this one.
