A man recently discovered a small subterranean city beneath a home he was renovating in Anatolia, Turkey. About 4,000 square meters of the underground city have already been uncovered in the region famous for its extensive underground labyrinths and homes, according to Ancient-Origins.net. Mustafa Bozdemir, 50, said he was given the house in Turkey five years ago. At the time, he thought it was a single story home and decided to clear some stuff out from underneath it to prepare it for renovations. "We also found some remains during the cleaning works such as human bones," Bozdemir said. "They were examined by a team from Erciyes University." In one region in Anatolia, dozens of cities and 200 smaller villages have already been discovered beneath the surface, along with temples and secret tombs. Nuvit Bayar, the project director for the restoration company working on the house, said that workers thought they could find space for storage beneath Bozdemir's house and were shocked to find tunnels. "The underground city that we found by accident during restoration begins a few meters under the ground and has two levels," Bayar said. "There are parts resembling underground remains of settlements in Cappadocia. Wonderful structures emerged everywhere, like an iron workshop and a loft." Bozdemir told officials about the site soon after the discovery and is allowing government workers to excavate the hidden city completely. "We think that the underground city was active in the Roman, Byzantine and Seljuk eras and other stone buildings there were built in the Ottoman and Republican periods," mayor Mehmet Osmanbasoglu told Zaman Online. link The newly-discovered underground structure in Melikgazi has been compared to Cappadocia (pictured) where hundreds of subterranean structures have been found.

I wonder What or Who they felt they had to hide from? I wonder why they chose to live underground,or was it not a choice??

I wonder What or Who they felt they had to hide from? I wonder why they chose to live underground,or was it not a choice?? From the look of those stone doors that were rolled into place to seal off the entrance you would think that it was a safe haven of protection from someone or something. And designed for many people to stay there for a long time.

From the look of those stone doors that were rolled into place to seal off the entrance you would think that it was a safe haven of protection from someone or something. And designed for many people to stay there for a long time. Sounds familiar. You mean something like a Deep Underground Military Base (DUMB). Ah! So we've been down this road before... One just wonders how many times we have risen to a pinnacle of civilisation, only to destroy ourselves and send humanity reeling back into the caves and stone age, only to start again.... and again.... and again. Usually destroying ourselves, but occasionally being destroyed by natural forces or even visitors who were equally unenlightened, but cleverer. If we accept that we can evolve from caveman to relatively high technology in, let's say a period of 20,000 years (give or take a few thousand) before blowing ourselves back to the start line again, then it would seem that, as traces of humans seem to go back millions of years, we have probably done it hundred's of times; sometimes more effectively than others. There are ancient historical sites where nuclear weapons would appear to have been used in the past, plus odd examples of strange technology which has been unearthed in deep mines or trawled up from the seabed which would appear to indicate that we are trapped in an ever decreasing evolutionary circle. Ultimately, if we don't get over ourselves, we will vanish up our own rectums. It is high time we realised that we are not who or what we think we are.... I suspect that TIME is coming on this "cycle"... unless we screw it up AGAIN! As Pierre Teilhard de Chardin once wrote: "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience." Are we nearly there yet? Can we go home now, please?

Yeah quercus, it seems, through out History, we have, at times, lived underground. Maybe there were times when underground was the safest place to be.
