It's not the first underground city to be discovered in the region; there are some 250 known subterranean dwellings of various sizes hidden within the fantastical landscape. The two biggest are Kaymakli and Derinkuyu; the latter is estimated to have been able to house up to 20,000 people. Both cities have been known for decades.
But this new underground town, hiding beneath a centuries-old castle on a hilltop right in NevÅehir, just might be the biggest. One early estimate by geophysicists put its area at nearly five million square feet and its depth at 371 feet. If those estimates are accurate, the city may outsize Derinkuyu by a third.

He began as a conventional geologist, worked at the Haughton Astrobleme impact crater, where the dinos used to thrive in what is now the Arctic. He got interested in the water erosion of the Great Sphinx, which he didn’t think was true — J.A. West got him a trip to Egypt where he examined the Giza monuments and his geology background led him to the inescapable conclusion that water erosion evidence is obvious. He went to a conference in Italy after that, got exposed to a lot of stuff he used to be insulated from as an academic, and there’s been no stopping him since.
