Am I reading this correctly that the underground city covers some 110 acres?

The underground city [was found] in the 45 hectares of the total 75 hectare area that is within the [urban] transformation project.

I wonder what the objects are?

We have taken 44 historical objects under preservation.

In any case, this is fascinating. Thanks for the ping!

We visited this region on our way departing Turkey. I bought a couple of the soap stone carvings that depict the houses. Much of it is off-limits due to the erosion and possible collapse, but it is very interesting.
