Underground Cities From The Ice Age so

The Cappadocia region in central Turkey has long been considered one of the most stunning and picturesque regions on Earth. From all over the world, tourists and photographers come to see its pink and yellow-hued hillsides next to deep red canyons, and its legendary “fairy chimneys,” those natural stone towers shaped and sculpted out of the area’s soft volcanic rock. The landscape is stunning, but there is more to the region than meets the eye. Unexplained mysteries are hidden beneath the ground. Secrets that continue to confound science are the foundations of our modern world. In 1963, a local man doing renovations on his home in the Derinkuyu district of Turkey noticed something odd. The chickens he kept on his property were vanishing into thin air. The man believed that the chickens must have squeezed through a crevasse in one of his walls during the renovation. He wondered why he couldn’t hear them behind the wall if they were. They didn’t come back from the crevasse when they were hungry. The man tried to find an answer with a sledgehammer. The man was shocked to find a hidden room behind the wall. There was a dark passageway at the far end of the room. The man was so nervous that he followed the passageway and found a labyrinth of passages and caves. The man returned to the surface because he was afraid of venturing too far into the labyrinth. Immediately contacted local authorities, who rushed to the site with a

Team of scientists and began conducting an official investigation into the man’s unusual discovery. What they found shocked even the most experienced of them. The labyrinth was the beginning of an enormous underground complex descending more than 300 feet into the earth across 18 levels of tunnels. The complex appeared to be part of an entire lost civilization tucked safely underground, and each of its 18 levels was carefully engineered for specific uses. There were dwellings, meeting places, and schools. There was a temple, livestock stables and cellars, a well running 180 feet into the earth, and thousands of small shafts to make sure natural air flow reached all 18 levels. The complex appeared to have an elaborate system of defenses, including intentionally short and narrow hallways which would force unwanted invaders to stoop over and walk in single file, as well as huge half-ton circular boulders between each level which could be placed to seal off. The others. Scientists estimated that up to 20,000 people could have been housed in the underground city at one time, which was accidentally discovered by the man. The area’s easy-to-carve volcanic rock made it the perfect location for the construction of a city like Derinkuyu. That was the only thing. Researchers were aware of how the building was constructed. They had no idea who built it. The middle point between Europe, the Middle East, and Asia is located in the Cappadocia region. The area has had many empires throughout its history. From the

Assyrians and Persians to the Greeks and Romans. It is an area that has been in constant conflict, changing hands from one power to another. Scientists believed that Derinkuyu was created to be a temporary shelter from foreign invaders. During times of conflict, there are populations and groups. It was used by early Christians hiding from Roman persecution and locals to escape the Arab- Byzantine wars in the 14th century. This may have explained who was used by, but it didn’t reveal who built it. It could have been built as far back as . The Hittites ruled most of the region at that time and there was a theory that emerged after Hittite artifacts were found. The Hittites may have created a level or two of the complex, but the bulk of the work was done by the Phrygians. The reason for this was that the Phrygians, one of the region’s first truly dominant empires, were accomplished builders and architects. Each of the theories was simply that. Theories, speculation without proof one way or the other. Many believed that the Hittites and the Phrygians were just another group of people who used the site. The city was far, far more ancient than anyone thought possible because they were not the original builders. The volcanic rock that was carved out of could not be carbon-dated since it was stone and not organic material. This left the question unanswered. Is it true or false? The only thing scientists knew for certain

Was that it had been used for thousands of years by people who wanted to hide, change hands, and add to the work of the last. It was thought that the mystery of who built the site would have to remain a mystery. Maybe that’s where the story would have ended. The mystery would get even more confusing in the years that followed. One year after the discovery of Derinkuyu, workers in the village of Kaymakli uncovered another labyrinth of underground tunnels while digging into a hill known as the Citadel of Kaymakli. It was confirmed that it was an underground city complex like the one in Derinkuyu. More than 100 tunnels were dug into the ground to connect dwellings and storage rooms, wineries and stables, and even a burial chamber. From the inside, huge boulders moved over the entrances. The layout of the Kaymakli underground city made it larger than it was. It was another monumental construction hidden beneath the ground. Something even more remarkable was discovered as it was explored further. A series of tunnels stretched all the way to the other side of the Kaymakli complex. It appeared that the two underground cities in Cappadocia were sister cities and perhaps built by the same unknown. The ancient builders. This raised a lot of questions, but the discoveries did not stop there. In 1972, a farmer in the village of Ozkonak noticed that the water he was giving his crops seemed to disappear into the ground.

The farmer found the discoveries at Kaymakli and Derinkuyu were still fresh in the farmer’s mind. The chamber should be examined further by the local authorities. It was once again opened up to reveal a massive underground city complex descending some 130 feet into the ground across ten carefully constructed levels. The underground city at Ozkonak had dwellings and storage areas, stables and wine cellars, a well and a ventilation system, and rolling stone doors. It also contained a rudimentary communication system that allowed each level to talk to the one above or below, as well as holes drilled into the stone above the entrance to each level. It would allow for hot oil to be poured on the invaders. The discovery of Ozkonak raised more interesting questions because it was marginally smaller than the other underground cities. Was it built by the same builders at 35 miles away? Why the additional features? Is it connected to the other two by underground tunnels? What was clear was that the mystery went beyond just a small area. Scientists began to realize that there was an entire as the years went by. Beneath Cappadocia there is an underground world.

In nearly every village across the region, there was at least one rock-cut structure under the ground, most of them small, only a room or two, but indicating a widespread tendency to underground building. It appeared to scientists that an entire underground civilization existed in the Cappadocia region, centering around the city centers of Kaymakli and Ozkonak. Everything scientists thought they knew was blown out of the water was a theory. Turkey’s Housing Development Administration launched an urban in 2012 The old buildings in the city of Nevsehir would be demolished to make way for new buildings. Workers began to uncover underground tunnels as the project began. It had been 40 years since the last discovery of an underground city, so workers assumed that this was not what they were looking for. But it was. It appeared that a massive underground city complex had been found once more. Like the cities at Kaymakli. The rooms, stables, cellars, the water and ventilation systems, and the massive stone doors are all characteristics of the new city of Ozkonak. When they used the technology to map the labyrinth beneath the ground, they were blown away. The new city was over 5 million square feet and descended more than 300 feet into the ground. Scientists believed that the underground city at Nevsehir was up to 30% bigger. Someone had built Cappadocia’s. The work of underground cities was much more extensive than first thought. And yet, before Nevsehir could even be fully excavated and explored,

Something even more amazing happened, something which again changed the entire perception of Cappadocia’s underground cities… A hidden entrance to a cave was discovered in one of the houses that were being restored in 2020. Working on something. The workers found a passage leading to an underground complex after descending into the cave. They wondered if this was another Nevsehir. They were hundreds of miles away from any other underground building projects that had been discovered. The answer was yes and no. Matiate, or the “city of caves,” was an enormous underground city beneath Midyat. As excavation began, researchers realized that the underground city would be larger than the one in Derinkuyu. The city was found at Nevsehir. Researchers believed Matiate would be more than 300% bigger than Nevsehir. Researchers had to completely rethink their conception of Turkey’s underground cities. If there was an underground civilization sometime in the past, it extended as far as Matiate, suggesting a massive underground network spreading across the entire country. Who could have created that network? Some people say that an answer has recently been. It was revealed… In the year 1963, researchers conducting a survey in southeastern Turkey came across another site, not far from where Matiate would be found almost 60 years later. At the top of the hill, researchers found broken slabs of limestone strewn in every direction. The site was thought to be little more than a medieval cemetery, so researchers simply made a note of it and moved on.

It wasn’t until 1994 that the site would be looked at again. During his own survey of sites in the region, a German archaeologist was named Klaus Schmidt. He didn’t just make note of Gobekli Tepe and move on, he immediately thought the site was special. “It was clear right away that this was a huge Stone Age site,” said Schmidt. As research began, it would be proven correct, and in fact, it would go much further than he imagined. The megaliths were up to 18 feet tall and were buried below the hill. It was covered in detailed carvings of humanoid figures, animals, and abstract symbols and weighed as much as 50 tons. The site was carbon dated between 9600-8200 BCE, making it at least 5,000 years older than Stonehenge. The world’s oldest known megaliths were located in Gobekli Tepe. Who had created something like that in the past? Gobekli Tepe’s 50-ton blocks were moved and inscribed with detailed carvings. The invention of writing here is 6,000 The study on the site deepened the mystery. There was evidence of a year-round settlement uncovered by researchers. It was implied that the builders of Gobekli Tepe were not simply nomadic hunter-gatherers who had built a monument in the middle of nowhere, but an established civilization, one older than any on record. Scientists wondered who this civilization was and why they hadn’t appeared before. The site that barely 5% has yet been excavated is so delicate that research continues.

As much as possible. What new revelations will emerge about the site and the mysterious civilization that built it in the coming years? Some are wondering why such effort would have been put into such a large project in the past. It would have profound implications on our understanding of human development if we answered the ‘why’. Gobekli Tepe is believed to have been a religious site for one of the world’s earliest religions. It could have been the world’s first observatory aligned with the star. The implications would be significant in either case. Two scientists came forward with a different and even more significant answer. Scientists have been puzzled by Gobekli Tepe’s famous “Vulture Stone,” a pillar intricately carved with depictions of different animals, figures, and designs. In Sweatman’s words, the two men believed that the Vulture Stone was decoding some kind of information. Upon closer examination, . They believed they knew what the information was. They proposed that the animals depicted on the pillar were zodiacal representations of ancient constellations, such as a scorpion as Scorpio, a duck-like figure as Libra, a wolf as Lupus, and so on, each arranged around a circular shape in the center representing the sun. Sweatman and Tsikritsis believed that the carvings on the vulture stone recorded a time in the past when the constellations were arranged as they were on the stone. What could happen. Did this event happen? The Vulture Stone provided an answer for that as well, according to Sweatman

And Tsikritsis. The pieces of a comet falling to Earth were represented by a series of square symbols near the top of the pillar with strange lines descending from them, while the headless man in the bottom right corner was symbolic of the disaster and loss of life brought to the Earth. In their seminal article in Mediterranean Archeology and Archaeometry journal, they proposed that the Vulture Stone was a memorial to the worst day in history. The end of the Ice Age. Their most important piece of evidence that this was true was not simply their interpretation of ancient carvings, but what happened when they tried to determine when the comet event had taken place. If the carvings were recording a specific date, what was it? Three times in the past, Sweatman and Tsikritsis had used computer software to align the constellations as depicted on the vulture stone. Why was this so important? Because. There was an event called the Younger Dryas event. The Younger Dryas was a 1,300-year event in which the Earth underwent a period of global cooling which pushed many parts of the Earth into ice age conditions. Records show that this period was one of the most terrifying times in the history of the world, with tornadoes, floods, and fires filling the atmosphere with ash to block out the sun. Scientists say that the Younger Dryas event is well documented. They have never been sure of what caused it. One of the leading hypotheses is

That the Younger Dryas event was caused by a comet exploding in Earth’s atmosphere, showering the planet with fragments, the largest of which would have crashed into the ice caps covering North America at the time. The vulture stone at Gobekli Tepe shows the constellations in the exact position they would have been if the Younger Dryas event had taken place. A record of the event being caused by a comet. As Sweatman said in an interview, “I think this research, along with the recent finding of a widespread Platinum anomaly across the North American continent, virtually seal the case in favor of a Younger Dryas comet impact.” Is this true? The Younger Dryas may have been caused by a comet, and the Vulture Stone at Gobekli Tepe may be a record of the disaster. What does this have to do with that? Do you know of the underground cities in Turkey? Gobekli Tepe may not be the only place where a record of the Younger Dryas event can be found. We don’t know how old Zoroastrianism is, but it’s based on the teachings of the prophet Zoroaster. It is accepted that its roots go back to at least the 6th century BCE. The 2nd millennium BCE. It was almost certainly based on oral traditions. Zoroastrianism was the first to codify concepts like heaven and hell, judgment after death, messianism, angels and demons, and the dualistic cosmology of good and evil. The Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, as

Well as Buddhism and Hinduism, and even Greek philosophy, were influenced by Zoroastrianism. Many of the stories in these traditions are based on older Zoroastrian tales. Just. The biblical story of Noah’s Ark is similar to the Zoroastrian story of Yima. A man named Yima is given a warning of an impending catastrophe that will wipe out the Earth’s human and animal populations. As in the story of Noah, Yima’s catastrophe is to be a deep freeze. “O Yima, towards the sacred land will rush evil as a severe fatal winter; evil will rush as thick snow falls in increased depth,” reads the text. Instead of a. Yima is instructed to build a multi-level underground settlement, a self-sustaining city with water and plants, and bring to it 2,000 human couples and every kind of animal. Noah waited out the deep freeze on his ark and it wiped out the rest of the Earth. The story ends with Yima’s people reemerging from this underground city after many generations, having survived the “fatal winter” and thus going on to repopulate the Earth. This is where a simple question can be asked: does this not sound like a group surviving the 1,300-year deep freeze? Is it related to Younger Dryas? Put the pieces of the puzzle together. Iran shares a border with Turkey and Zoroastrianism is an Iranian religion. Because the religion’s earliest written texts were almost surely composed from oral traditions, it’s certain that they contain the traditions and stories of Turkey

And Iran. Is it possible that the underground cities found across Turkey were built as underground shelters to survive Younger Dryas? And if so, then. It is possible that after surviving the deep freeze, humans returned to the surface and carved a record of their survival in the Gobekli Tepe monument. Think about what it would mean. A proof of the existence of an advanced ancient civilization prior to the Younger Dryas event more than 12,000 years ago, far before any civilization recorded in our history books today. This would change the scientific world on its head. We need to change our understanding of where we came from and how we developed. It is possible that the secrets of this hidden history remain underground in Turkey, waiting to be discovered by some random farmer or renovation project, waiting to change history as we know it. In one of our previous videos, we showed that Turkey is not the only place where advanced pre-Younger Dryas existed. Thank you for sticking to the end.
