Timeline of Matiate[edit]

The wikipedia page mentions, as many of the sources, that the city has been in use uninteruptedly for 1900 years. On the other hand, it states that it is believed to have first been used by christians as a hiding place in the 2nd or 3rd century. This would mean, that is has been in use until the present day, which is clearly not the case as it has been recently rediscovered. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.147.62.240 (talk) 12:28, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

it was reasoned that it has before been a hiding place for any people persecuted, not necessarily christians. Like this, it would be possible.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 12:37, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

then the language should be clarified, as the article explicitly says "The towns origins date back to the 2nd or 3rd century CE". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.147.62.240 (talk) 13:32, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
