 The underground cities of Cappadocia, Turkey number more than 200 and are spread across the entire region It is highly possible that there is many more lying below the surface just waiting to be found Of all the underground cities discovered so far the most awe-inspiring is perhaps the Derinkuyu city It was discovered by accident in 1963 when a local family was renovating a house a wall gave way to reveal a passage that led to this underground network According to National Geographic, it is 11 levels deep descending more than 280 feet to the bedrock covering an area of over four miles squared It includes temples, tombs, shops, living quarters and even livestock pens Over 15,000 air shafts were built into its design and would have been enough room to comfortably house approximately 20,000 people The underground city has extending passages that connected to other neighboring and underground water well systems providing fresh water What is especially interesting regarding this underground world is the evidence to suggest that they were hiding from something terrifying a Sophisticated security system consisting of a particular build design Accompanied by numerous gigantic rolling stone blocking doors that would seal the city from the inside Moreover, it's multi-layered design meant that each level could be sealed off from the next level using this same system Just what were these people hiding from? Whatever it was they obviously preferred to run rather than confront it The structure was excruciatingly carved into the underground rock and is as strong today as the day it was built Safely accommodating guests such as archaeologists and tourists Whoever built the network obviously had an advanced knowledge of stoneworking architecture, engineering and the local geography Aging the structure has proven very difficult. There are no existing quarries waste piles or tools to examine Furthermore, there are no records documenting its construction or people who may have lived there Also, unfortunately, many cultures have used the underground towns over the centuries According to UNESCO, it is believed that the first signs of monastic activity in Cappadocia date back to the 4th century At which time acting on the instructions of Basil the Great in order to resist attacks from the Arabs The people should band together into small local communities and begin inhabiting cells dug into the rock Therefore modern academia tends to conclude that they were likely built by the Phrygian people around 800 BC Yet it is also a strong possibility that they are far older than this By the bishops instruction, they are to inhabit not build Therefore, it's safe to assume he was aware of their existence rather than the person who thought them up Some believe the underground caves were constructed by the very ancient Persian king Yema Yema attributed as mythological by many is said to have had a lifespan of more than 900 years a common feature of biblical figures as well The Zoroastrian text Vendidad states that Yema built an underground city on the orders of the god Ahura Mazda to protect his people from a catastrophic winter Much like the account of Noah in the Bible, Yema was instructed to collect pairs of the best animals and people as well as the best seeds In order to reseed the earth after the winter cataclysm. This was before the last Ice Age 110,000 years ago Something which is always puzzled us at mystery history Although the mountains of pyramids, the gigantic megaliths, Indestructible artifacts or the out-of-place artifacts is the massive amount of underground cities found all over our planet Extraordinary undertakings seemingly necessary at some time in the very distant past Complex tunnel networks almost telepathically hewn direct to each other Cut from hard bedrocks with many exhibiting considerable efforts committed into security Huge rolling doors can be found at many crucial junctions within the underground systems as can be found for example Amongst the underground cities of Cappadocia Derinkuyen particular still exhibits its rolling door still in situ No one displaying the builders impressive capabilities but also the abilities of the rolling stone operators as whoever built these contraptions Unarguably still possessed megalithic stone-moving knowledge knowledge We hypothesize is lost knowledge due to the builders of said sites also a lost civilization Which instead of where they have been placed chronologically by funded investigations? Actually, we believe Originate an unimaginably longer time ago place far within an antiquity not only lost but actively dismissed But regardless of the impressive feats these underground cities were to create the question persists. Why? Why go to so much effort? The cities of Uskan Act Derinkuyu and Kemakli all found just within Cappadocia Turkey are not only some of the most complete underground dwellings with Derinkuyu Estimated to have once been capable of housing 20,000 people Derinkuyu even connects to Kemakli via an underground tunnel An astonishing eight kilometers long and this is but a tiny fraction of the ancient underground cities Which have so far been found all over the world with more discovered each day Many seem to have simply been sealed when no longer needed thus many still lay undisturbed to this day Derinkuyu for example was only rediscovered when a wall was knocked down in a house during renovation work All seemingly constructed around the same time yet any definitive Motivations for why ancient man decided upon such drastic efforts Worldwide have yet to be Substantiated their construction remains a complete mystery a fact we find highly intriguing Many people will argue that these cities were chiseled by slaves over many years and a great suffering a Safe bet narrative which jives with the mainstream When it comes to the academically claimed ages and due to the people during said ages Substantially lacked any advanced stone-cutting technologies imperative for creating such vast works This argument however thanks to the volumes of examples of exquisite astounding feats Discovered as a special few of these underground complexes Not only installed clearly to demonstrate an acoustic level of awareness on par with prodigal ability And possibly many other as yet undecifered features displaying excelled Understanding of many of life's most intriguing subjects The hypogeum Located within modern-day Malta is but one of many examples Which can be presented as proof that whoever built these underground layers at minimum possessed Astonishing acoustic knowledge far ahead of man as well as almost physics defying stone-moving techniques Displayed in the structure itself the hypogeum possesses a characteristic designed into its construction Which is simply astonishing? It is so mystifying that although very little is known regarding how it was achieved a certain frequency It can amplify which seems to stimulate the building's amplifying capabilities as if the entire structure resonates and Has since been shown to also affect the human brain becoming known as the god frequency Who built these underground labyrinths? Why? When do they build them? We find these incredible relics of a lost civilization highly compelling We have often explored the many curious tales of a particular ancient global catastrophe The Great Flood a global deluge featured in countless ancient accounts yet Additionally, we have also recently explored the compelling evidential Corroboration to these ancient claims supportive geological and Scientific evidence which Intriguingly support there indeed once being such a flood one of biblical proportions The geological data supporting the change in sea levels are deserts once sea beds Submerged pyramids ruins and not to mention the tales of Atlantis However, one area which is rarely if ever mentioned in these same libraries of history Are the underground cities once built all of them found on nearly every Continent where each buried beneath the earth in such a way as to avoid the land itself The largest of these Derenku you discovered by complete accident during a house renovation It strongly suggests that many more may still be laying Undiscovered waiting to see light again resting undisturbed in complete darkness for unknown millennia Thousands of connected tunnels have already been found and explored all over Europe thousands of miles of interlinking underground tunneling systems all Built as if those who created them found ground level either Inhospitable or of a mortally perilous place to dwell this for some unknown reason Derenku you as mentioned a site we have explored in depth before not only has curious Multiton rolling door stoppers located at strategic locations Stones modern man is incapable of moving But was also Reportedly lit by a natural gas pocket They tapped tunneled a pipe through the complex with holes positioned along which Set a light as if a London Victorian Street in genius if true Regardless of the genius that went into Derenku you itself Alien corpses found within remains of the hypogeum in Malta It must be noted along with seven thousand other headless corpses yet these complete bodies lay there alongside them The oracle room within just like the rumors of the natural light technology of Derenku you also possessed yet still possesses its own extraordinary example of ancient high technology With an altar stone in the oracle room placed in such a location Complimented by extraordinarily perfect architectural design amplifies one's voice Incredibly well and throughout the structure Thousands of kilometers of groundwater flooded caveways have recently been found in Belize Honduras El Salvador along with many other locations littered ancient ruins remains and Inhabitations once this flooding is dated we believe it will push the currently held Chronology of man and indeed these groups age back massively a subject. We will cover soon However, these digressions merely scratch the surface of what we intend to explore further and indeed share with all of you So any support in this quest is greatly appreciated to help us out check the description for links Why did ancient man seemingly hide underground? Why did they make such gargantuan efforts to dig design and then seemingly live in these places long-term? These are questions we find highly compelling Hey guys, so a few months back I shared with you the story of adventurous geologists who had trekked far into the cold wilderness of Russia in an effort to Catalog the largest megalithic site on earth So remote they are steeped in legends of snow yetis and mysterious monsters devouring all who dare to venture into these remote areas When I shared the amazing images of these stone structures, many argued that they were natural formations Maybe because they struggled to conceive such enormous ancient ruins in such remote places discoveries that seem to be many hundreds of thousands of years old Maybe even as old as the giant Sphinx More and more is being learned about them with ever more daring explorations of the ruins being undertaken A team discovered a vault in one of the stone megaliths An access vault that led them into an artificially made stone cavern system These underground structures are truly massive and are undoubtedly constructed by an intelligent builder hidden for many millennia These caverns are not only massive But constructed using blocks placed upon one another that are over 50 feet in length in some instances Making these stones many thousands of tons in weight seemingly placed effortlessly into the shape of underground walls This discovery is not really shed light upon how the ancients built such structures But rather push their apparent capabilities farther from our understanding Not only are these structures purpose a vast mystery But they also contain placed stones bigger than any we've ever discovered Even eclipsing the unfinished stone found at the ancient chinese quarry known as yangshan A stone can be found here half cut away from the bedrock in excess of 16 000 tons Thought by scholars throughout time to have been left at the quarry due to them not being able to move it Yet here we have stones placed into a cave system designed which even outweigh yangshan This not only proves they could move them but lift them and work them Just how many quote natural formations are really just extremely weathered once extremely large stone built structures Maybe there are many stone granite hills and even maybe mountains that dot our earth Which work before millennia of rain grand structures of a forgotten people There are a number of ruins on earth Which are either located atop nearly impossible mountaintops or on the ledges of desert hilltops Making sanctuaries from masterfully cut stone temples and masada is of no exception The first official funded excavations in the area took place from 1963 to 1965 And was under former IDF chief of staff and archaeologist yagal yadine The dry desert climate allowed the preservation of classy frescoes and organic remains Belonging to the rebels who once called the sanctuary temples home However, it has long been claimed that the archaeological team were not given full access to the site And have repeatedly noted that they are aware of the site's secret underground layers Yet were not able to fully explore it during the 60s However, recent changes to attitudes toward historic sites has secured funding for a full exploration of these as yet unexplored underground tunnels For the first time since 2006, a Tel Aviv University team headed by Roman period archaeologist Guy Stiebel Have launched new excavations at the UNESCO World Heritage Site Examining previously unexplored areas of the legendary fortress Quote this is the next generation Stiebel told the Times Adding that his team planned to excavate new sections of the dwellings as well as a garden constructed by Herod He further noted quote our intention is to further explore a mysterious underground structure That was detected in the earliest aerial photographs of the site in the 1920s Yet alas the buildings underground layers have remained unexplored Dr. Stiebel intriguingly although seemingly aware of the void's existence was reluctant to label its past uses Stated that it was possibly used as a hideout or escape route during the siege of Masada Although he made it clear that he is unsure at the moment of the original purpose of the underground systems Dr. Stiebel exclaimed his excitement to return to the site after an 11 year absence in statements to the media quote A lifetime would not suffice to get a glimpse of all the hidden beauties of Masada Its magic is not just in the equipment. It is also in small things end quote Even though several experts believe that more than 95 percent of Masada's total size has already been explored Stiebel believes that its core is yet to be discovered We will of course keep you posted on any controversial or intriguing discoveries made during the excavations It is a place which we find highly compelling Just how old is Cappadocia? Due to the immense age of many of the locations we so often cover here upon our channel We are also in turn often confronted with an array of defense strategies effective distraction techniques Which continue to allow that which cannot be explained to be simply and quietly brushed under the proverbial rug of modern understandings Many institutes are funded to and work in cahoots toward a common goal The preservation of a status quo, which not only stifles logical historical pursuits But are controlled by institutions who bury anything which could jeopardize their current monopoly Over the many areas of human life and interaction When it comes to concealing the true age of many of the planet's oldest ruins It often falls to the geology departments to simply declare the most weathered of relics as merely that of geological formations And if there is any ancient settlement on earth, which would have fit this bill It's Cappadocia An entire ancient settlement so old that all of its surface structures have nearly eroded back to nature However, although these remarkably old and incredibly heavily eroded surviving spires Would have almost certainly been overlooked dismissed as geological Cappadocia, fortunately, has a labyrinth beneath its streets an entire underground city once somehow masterfully hewn from the bedrocks of earth Rumored to have been lit by small candles fed by natural gas pockets found deep underground It is regardless an incredible legacy of a past highly capable civilization And although we have extensively covered the ancient underground city of Derincuio along with its as yet unexplained Multiton rolling doors Not only how they were made and then placed in passages But indeed how they were rolled when in use as they are of such tremendous weights However, what many people are unaware of quite possibly due to the difficulty modern academia has in explaining their existence Is that there lies many more underground layers and labyrinths all across Cappadocia Thankfully meaning that the soul surviving spires on the surface have not withstood the sands of time in vain For they now stand as signposts to this incredible baffling and simply enormous ancient mega metropolis All carved from the solid rock beneath Cappadocia As mentioned many of you will now be aware of Derincuio An underground city whose legend tells of it having once been a sanctuary for ancient people who endured an ice age Possibly making the site far older than 10 000 years However, what many of you may have not been aware of is the other remarkable underground city of Caimacli Which secretly stretches across below the grounds of this ancient ruin Many of the passageways carved untold millennia ago are still used to this day as storage areas stables and cellars The underground city at Caimacli differs from Derincuio in terms of its structure and layout The tunnels are lower narrower and more steeply inclined Cappadocia appears in some areas as one of the most heavily eroded sites on earth Yet it is fortunately still attributed to its true original identity that of an ancient ruin And thanks to the miles of still unexplored caverns below this incredibly ancient site Its dismissal as geological in the future seems very unlikely It is a place which we find highly compelling
