Art Never Sleeps on Instagram: "Discover Derinkuyu: The Hidden Underground City

In 1963, a resident of Nevşehir Province in Turkey knocked down a wall in his home, revealing a hidden room. Leading to the ancient Derinkuyu underground city. 

The Derinkuyu underground city was carved from soft volcanic rock by the Phrygians in the 8th–7th centuries BCE. Expanded by later civilizations, it featured ventilation shafts, wells, and passages for air and water supply. 

The city was 13 stories deep and large enough to house up to 20,000 people, including their livestock and food supplies. The city was designed to protect inhabitants from invasions, with heavy stone doors to seal off entrances. It was used by early Christians to escape Roman persecution and remained inhabited until the 1920s."
