Sultan Khan is the grandest and most beautiful of all the remains of Seldjuk splendor seen by us in Asia Minor. We spent one day in its welcome shade, during which time numerous photographs were taken, and the huge building was roughly measured. One of the Arabic inscriptions says that it was built in 1277 A.d. A very large spring rises near Sultan Khan, and the land yields abundant harvests wherever it can be properly irrigated.

In fact, we found such rock-cut dwellings wherever the soft volcanic tufa appears (Hamilton, Researches, I. p. 97). Selme is situated in a deep gorge, through which the Irmak flows, and in which, in fact, it has its source. The cliff to the east rises perpendicularly to a height of from four to five hundred feet; at its base there is a maze of sharp natural cones, similar to those in the regi...
