Underground Cappadocia

There's more to Cappadocia than its cave dwellings.
Cappadocia, Turkey, is an almost unbelievable area in and of itself, but a recent find has made it even more so. Archaeologists have discovered an immense 5,000-year-old city under a fortress there. It's not the area's first underground city, but it's definitely the most spectacular, with churches, escape galleries, and 3.5 miles (7 kilometers) of tunnels. In fact, archaeologists believe it may end up being the largest underground city in the world: http://www.ancient-origins.net/news-history-archaeology/massive-5000-year-old-underground-city-uncovered-cappadocia-turkey-002507
