Funny thing is that most of these underground cities were Christian; hiding from prosecution due to Muslims.

What did they do for fresh air? Light? Water and Sewer? Internet connection?

Convection, I suppose. Some dedicated air channels would have been good.

What a glorious post!

I wonder if all of his neighbors are knocking apart their basements to find more entries.

And who is collecting tourist fees?

It reminds me of the final pages of H.P. Lovecraft's short story "The Rats in the Walls".

It doesn't end well.

I’m sure that had air portals throughout the city. People in the past were very advanced in their day based on the knowledge they knew at the time. That’s why people visit Rome, the Pyramids in Egypt , Pyramid cities in South America and such underground cites all across Asia and Asia Minor. We marveled how they did things, especially in architecture, with no modern technology but with precision and many based on positions of stars...etc
