Turkey🇹🇷 World Heritage Derinkuyu Underground City

Türkiye 🇹🇷 World Heritage Derinkuyu Underground City In the previous article, we learned how people dug holes in the mountain walls and built churches in order to survive. Now, let's guess what's so special about this flat land? That’s right. In order to escape persecution, the Christians at that time came to this flat land without any mountain walls. They dug directly through the ground and built their homes underground like ants. When you come to Cappadocia, you definitely can’t miss this experience. Some rooms require you to bend over and walk a distance to reach them. I personally estimate that the deepest one may be equivalent to a depth of 5 to 6 floors! All in all, this World Heritage Site, Derinkuyu Underground City, is a very unique place that demonstrates the amazing survival ability of Christians at that time! Turkish 🇹🇷 UNESCO Derinkuyu Underground City Previously, we explored how people carved caves into mountains and built churches to survive. Now, guess what's special about this flat area? That's right, Christians dug into the ground to escape persecution, creating their own underground homes. Visiting Cappadocia, you must experience this. Some rooms require bending to reach, and the deepest levels might be like 5 to 6 stories deep! In short, the Derinkuyu Underground City, a UNESCO World Heritage, uniquely showcases how Christians survived by creating underground homes.
