The underground city of Derinkuyu in Cappadocia

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.
