    Post 5,000 Year Old Underground City discovered in Turkey.

    5,000 Year Old Underground City Discovered That Challenges Our History, article at Neon Nettle.

    History network has an article.

    Nice photographs of it. I am sure those entryways were visible for thousands of years.

    The last great post glaciation melt filled an almost empty Mediterranean basin, the Black Sea Basin was also dry. One great puzzle is when those basins filled as we see them today. 5000 years ago flooding of those basins may have forced populations along those coasts to move inland, upsetting the populations that lived in the area of these underground cities. Even today 90% of the World's population lives at elevations less than 100 feet above sea level. Robert Ballard found evidence of cities on the bottom of the Black Sea, when it must have been dry. As global warming back then forced dramatic changes, the World changed. So yes, our view of the past is wrong because we try to fit that past into the World we see today. We have to adjust our vision to the World that was back then, in order to understand that World. As is evidenced by the Great Sphinx in Egypt shows, there was a past environmentally different in that distant past and history has not accounted for those differences.

    I agree 100%.


    There has been lots found in the mediteranian sea that shows egyptian like and greek like ruins. Not to fail to mention the underwater pyramid near Japan the stepped one. Also there are other undisclosed pyramids out there too and yet to be found one's too. In the ocean free standing and buried in sediment.

    ABC News has an article and photos, click here to view.

    There are archways and small rooms that have rounded walls and ceilings with flat floors. What sort of tools did they use? Thousand of years ago, begs to ask what sort of tools were used?

    Well, the answer is that this city complex is dated to 3000 BC, the Bronze Age began in this area between 3300 - 3000 BC. In soft rock as described in this area, digging chambers in the rocks of this site would be within the technology of Bronze Age tools. Harder limestones might be more difficult but selective digging would be fairly easy from what I've seen in the base limestones and sandstones that we have here in the Minneapolis area.
