Man repairing the house and found a whole underground city

In Turkey, near the village of Derinkuyu, there is a large underground city. He is about 3000 years old, and is still not clear who built it.

We found the cave quite by accident, when in 1963, one of the villagers started to repair his house, and to break the wall and saw her room and passage leading to an underground labyrinth.

Website has collected a few photos of this amazing city.







In the city, leaving a depth of 80 meters, can live up to 20 thousand people.











Here are all cleverly arranged for life has ventilation shafts, residential quarters, stalls for animals, kitchens with stoves, kitchens, wine cellars, barns, schools, shops, churches and cemeteries.











There were even a winery with a wine press.











Scientists believe that the city goes much deeper into the ground.











Tourists are allowed only in a small part of the city, where the maze of fenced so that nobody gets lost.











The entrances to the tunnels overlap with stone wheels, doors and defended the village from enemies.











Even if the opponent has overcome them, it is unlikely to have been able to get back to the surface without the knowledge of secret passages and labyrinths plan.











Probably the last residents of the city were the early Christians, but they were not the builders.











Here were the representatives of different cultures, left the city, they are replaced by other nations. And so to the VIII century BC.











And then more than a thousand years of the city forget.
