[edit] Disambiguation
The better known Hierapolis is situated on top of the Pamukkale hot springs. Hierapolis was redirected to this article here, so I removed the redirect and started a proper article there. --Matthead 15:43, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
The Hierapolis I know is no where near the Euphrates. It's in the Meander river valley, just up slope from Pamukkale, waaay over on the western edge of the Anatolian plateau. Is there some conflation going on here? --Fulminouscherub 00:18, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
I agree -- this is not the same spa-resort Hierapolis that is part of the Pamukkale World Heritage Site near Denizli. -- CMP, 11 Feb 06
The photos look a lot like the other HierapolisKisch 16:13, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
- They are of the wrong site. One is a reverse shot of a photo illustrating the other site, and the photos used for both pages are from the same (Turkish) photographer. I cannot find any shots of this site (there are many locations mixing up the two), but Google satellite images seem to indicate a complete lack of above ground remains.--Bluegreen 23:57, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
