apoo

Updated: May 12, 2025

Jesus made the mountains the seat of his most important acts, and was there transfigured in glory. We had been pointed out by Tiura a great crack in the precipice, called Apoo Taria, the "Hole of the Ears." In the bloody struggles of the ancient tribes here the conquerors cut off the ears of their victims some say their captives and threw them in this hole.
