Ruins of abandoned village - Yücebaş (Hartikox)

avatar

Hello friends. While hiking on Sunday, I came across an old, abandoned village that made me sad when I listened to its story. My friend's father, who is 65 years old, was also in the group we hiked with. Since he is very interested in historical artifacts and treasures, he knows the events of the past very well, down to the smallest detail.
Merhaba dostlar. Pazar günü dağ yürüyüşü yaparken denk geldiğim, hikayesini dinlediğimde üzüldüğüm eski, terk edilmiş bir köye rastladım. Dağ yürüyüşü yaptığımız grupta 65 yaşında, arkadaşımın babası da vardı. Kendisi tarihi eserlere, defineye oldukça ilgi duyduğu için geçmişte yaşanılan olayları en ince ayrıntısına kadar gayet iyi biliyor.

When you first look at the area, it doesn't look much like a village. There are piles of stones in short distance places. Someone who does not know the story of the village cannot rightly make sense of the piles of stones.

Alana ilk bakıldığında bir köye pek benzemiyor. Kısa mesafeli yerlerde taş yığınları var. Köyün hikayesini bilmeyen biri haklı olarak taş yığınlarını anlamdıramaz.

This region was an Armenian settlement about 300 years ago. The village, where a stream and a cold water source passes right next to it, consists of two neighborhoods. One day, there was a wedding in the village. Food was cooked in a large cauldron for the guests. The majority of those attending the wedding died. Thereupon, it was thought that the wedding food might be poisonous. The food was examined and a "salamander" was found in the food. Salamander is an animal that exudes poison when in danger. It fell into the cauldron while the meal was being prepared and it was thought that it had leaked its poison.

Bu bölge yaklaşık 300 yıl önce bir Ermeni yerleşimiymiş. Hemen yanından derenin, soğuk su kaynağının geçtiği köy iki mahalleden oluşuyormuş. Günlerin birinde köyde düğün varmış. Davetliler için, büyük bir kazanın içinde yemek pişirilmiş. Düğüne katılanların büyük çoğunluğu ölmüş. Bunun üzerine düğün yemeğinin zehirli olabileceği düşünülmüş. Yemek incelenmiş ve yemeğin içinde ''semender'' bulunmuş. Semender tehlike anında zehir akıtan bir hayvan. Yemek hazırlandığı sırada kazanın içine düşmüş ve o sırada zehrini akıttığı düşünülmüş.

We know that the decisions made by religious officials years ago were implemented. The religious officer in the village says that after this terrible incident, the village is now cursed and the village should be abandoned as soon as possible.

Yıllar önce din görevlilerinin verdiği kararların uygulandığını biliyoruz. Köydeki din görevlisi bu vahim olay sonrası köyün artık lanetlendiğini ve köyün bir an önce terk edilmesi gerektiğini söylüyor.

When the village is abandoned, the structures that are not durable enough are demolished after a while. After rain and snowfall, structures and stones are deeply buried in the ground.

Köy terk edilince zaten yeterince dayanıklı olmayan yapılar bir süre sonra yıkılıyor. Yağmur ve kar yağışı sonrasında yapılar, taşlar iyice toprağa gömülüyor.

Brick-like structures were also used in some of the houses.
Evlerin bazılarında tuğla benzeri yapılar da kullanılmış.

The gravestone destroyed by treasure hunters in the village where the church is located. The stone, which only a few people could carry, was split in two. When you look closely at the stone, you can see the sign of the cross.

Kilisenin de olduğu köyde defineciler tarafından tahrip edilen mezar taşı. Bir kaç kişinin ancak taşıyabileceği taş ikiye bölünmüş. Taşın üzerinde iyice bakıldığında haç işareti gözüküyor.
