Cappadocia is a fine place to visit, but honestly visiting Derinkuyu was not a highlight. If you see the photo half-way down the article, it basically all looks like that, and it's much cooler to know it exists than to actually see it in person.

I was just watching Colin Furze's Underground Tunnel series hah!

A strange and beautiful place. I was last there in 2007, I think it was, but I first visited as a kid in 1987. Cappadocia is one of my favorite places on earth. <3

The above-ground landscape reminds me of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.

In my fantasy imagination of alternative history, this is evidence of an ancient civilization surviving a nuclear winter involving the biblical Sodom and Gomorrah.

If it goes so deep underground, how did people not eventually suffocate with the lack of ventilation?
