The underground city of Derinkuyu in Cappadocia is one of the most fascinating archaeological discoveries in Turkey. Eighteen stories deep, it was designed to house up to 20,000 people, with shelters, chapels, storerooms and ventilation shafts. The question remains: who built it and why?

Some scholars suggest that it was built by the Phrygians around 800 BC, while others argue that it may be much older, perhaps dating back to the Hittite civilization or even earlier civilizations. One of the most intriguing theories links Derinkuyu to ancient cataclysmic events, suggesting that its inhabitants sought refuge underground to escape invasions, climatic disasters, or even mythical events. Could Derinkuyu be one of the hiding places of the "black-haired men" mentioned in the Book of Enki? While there is no direct evidence linking the site to the Anunnaki or ancient encounters with aliens, the concept of the ancients seeking refuge from a powerful external threat aligns with many myths and legends from around the world.
Whatever its true origins, Derinkuyu remains an enigma, fueling speculation about lost civilizations, hidden histories, and the resilience of ancient humanity.
