  Funny enough, there are villages in eastern Anatolia that are not on the government maps.

  They do trade with other towns and have gas, cars etc but population is mainly native to the land like Kurdish.

  So there are actual non-zero chances that there is some hidden ancient Hittite village last recorded by Alexander the Great’s empire, and Persians or Romans who conquered a fort nearby later didn’t survey that particular location, so it kinda has been sitting there enjoying not paying any taxes; and an actual bloody hittite could leave their town today to go work at tumblr hq.

  At least in my historic fanfic that I just came up with.

    Was about to say how much I love it when a random shitpost leads to an insightful comment by an actual expert in a very niche topic. Then read your last sentence. Well played.
