I couldn’t imagine a discovery like this! Picture yourself doing a little home renovation and discovering an underground tunnel. Pretty cool, right? Now imagine that the tunnel leads to an ancient underground city. That’s exactly what a man in the Nevşehir Province of Turkey found in 1963 when he was conducting a little bit of home renovation.
The underground city that he discovered includes a network of discrete entrances, ventilation shafts, passageways, and wells. It’s one of what archaeologists believe to be dozens of underground cities carved into the rocks of Cappadocia thousands of years ago. These underground cities have remained hidden for centuries and contain untold amounts of information lost to time.
