Unrecognized, hidden and millennia-old subterranean worlds lie under the surface of our planet.
We know only a very small part of this world, located below our feet but the majority of it is so far untouched, unseen and unexplored by a modern man.
There is an underground world of never ending tunnels and massive caves dug by ancient men we know nothing about.
These tunnels connect cities that are located almost entirely beneath the earth’s surface.
In 1963, approximately 50 miles (30 km) south of Nevsehir, Cappadocia, Turkey, Omer Demir stumbled across a deep hole (in Turkish: derinkuyu) that led to a steep path leading deeper down to passages, niches amd shafts dug into the bedrock.
After intensive excavation, it became clear that Derinkuyu was an entire city complex built in that hole beneath the surface.
