If an Anabaptist doesn’t believe in infant baptism, does an Anatolian believe all roads should be free?

I expected the article to describe a volcano or earthquake had covered some ancient settlements, however, it appears that the inhabitants actually excavated the earth and lived underground.
Wonder what they were afraid of and why they ‘hunkered’ down.

In my home town, an early settler built Underground Gardens which still exist and are now a tourist attraction. This structure in Anatolia reminds me of it.
A hand-built network of underground rooms, courtyards and passageways reminiscent of the ancient catacombs
Unique fruit producing trees, shrubs, and vines growing underground -- some over 90 years-old
Ancient Roman architecture - arches, vaults and stone-built walls
Underground micro-climates -- temperature variations of 10 to 30 degrees
Underground home of Sicilian visionary and self-taught artist/builder Baldassare Forestiere
This site was "abandoned" and closed to the public when I was growing up. We used to sneak out there and explore it when we were in high school. We never engaged in vandalism -- just curiosity. We never got caught.

Man, if I had a nickel for every underground city I stumbled upon...

Cool! A built-in wine cellar/fallout shelter.

How did they get fresh air and light?
I think the light sources of that time would ruin the air quality, which would be bad anyway.

Xenophon in the Anabasis (4.5.25) describes underground houses in Armenia--somewhat to the east of these, maybe 200-300 miles.

Did you see that pile of 4 cent copper coins this bloke found. It was in the Daily Mail?

If I found that under my house I would not tell anyone! It would be my own secret playground!

The limestone is relatively easy to cut. The Cu Chi tunnels west of Sài Gòn are the same stuff.
