Imagine your home was harboring a secret. Whilst it looked normal and
harmless enough from the outside, behind the walls, something completely
different was going on. Let’s say one day, you had to do a little remodeling
work in the basement.
When you were chipping away at the plaster, you noticed a
hole behind the wall. You pushed through a little further and discovered that
the hole is an entire room. You kept going on and on, picking your way through
and pretty soon, you discovered an entire city beneath your house.
Believe it or not, this is actually true. In 1963, a Turkish man was redoing
his house and was stunned to discover an entire city beneath the foundations of
his basement. The city, known as Derinkuyu, was believed to be built in the 7th
or 8th centuries BC. Whilst this might sound a little too good to be true,
these pictures speak a thousand words.
