Cappadocia underground cities
What is unique about Cappadocia's underground cities?
- Level of Size and Complexity: A lot of underground towns can be found in Cappadocia. Derinkuyu and Kaymaklı are the biggest and best known. These towns aren't just caves or bunkers; they're huge buildings with many levels that go several stories below the ground. Some buildings, like Derinkuyu, could have held up to 20,000 people across their eight floors.
- Origins in the past: The Hittites constructed the first underground towns in Cappadocia around 1200 BCE, making them thousands of years old. Over time, different groups of people, such as the Hittites, Phrygians, Persians, Romans, Byzantines, and early Christians, built on and added to these underground buildings.
- Scope and Usefulness: When they were first built, these underground towns were meant to be safe places for people to hide when they were in danger from outside sources. But they also had air shafts, wells, spaces for storage, chapels, and even schools, which showed that they were meant to be lived in permanently rather than just temporarily.
- Ingenious Design: The underground towns' layout shows a lot of clever engineering. Stone doors that weighed a few tons could be moved into place to block off entrances, and complex ventilation systems made sure that fresh air always got in. The arrangement of spaces was carefully thought out to make the best use of room and give the residents the things they needed.
- Significance in terms of culture: The underground towns are very important to culture and history, in addition to being useful. They tell us about ordinary lives, social structures, and ways that people in ancient Cappadocia managed to stay alive. Some of the basement rooms also have detailed paintings, artwork, and religious symbols that show what the people who lived there believed and how they lived their lives.
