An underground city found in Turkey’s touristic Cappadocia will “rewrite the history of the city,” according to the mayor in the Central Anatolian Nevşehir province, adding they had discovered people had permanently lived in the underground city, unlike other cities which were mostly carved into rocks for temporary protection
City will rewrite history
Stating that the unearthed tunnels and spaces were different than other underground cities across the world, Ünver said ancient people had lived there permanently.
“This is a real underground city where they resided permanently and not like other underground cities where they had lived temporarily,” said Ünver. “We are definite that we will also reach very important information and discoveries regarding world history.”
The mayor said they planned for the opening of the first part of the underground city excavations in 2017, adding the digging was conducted under the guidance of archaeologist Semih İstanbulluoğlu and the control of the Culture and Tourism Ministry.
İstanbulluoğlu said they predicted the history of the underground city to date back to even before the Hittites, adding this information would be confirmed after the finalization of the excavation’s laboratory work.
He added they had found tobacco pipe-like objects made from meerschaum, adding they could not yet date them with certainty.
“These can give clear information about the history of mankind,” İstanbulluoğlu said.
A Meerschaum pipe is a smoking pipe made from the mineral sepiolite. Meerschaum German for foam of the sea is sometimes found floating on the Black Sea and rather suggestive of sea-foam

A huge underground city were people permanently resided pre-dating the Hittites is something else entirely to any secret chamber, they couldn't begin to suggest who had built it, i have my own ideas though who did and for what purpose.

Cool, thanks for the update - I read the old thread too with great interest.
Is it just me or does ANYTHING get twice as interesting if it is underground?
Secret chamber in the pyramids?
Me: Meh.. another one, probably nothing there..
Secret UNDERGROUND chamber in the pyramids?
Me: Uh, uh uh, I wanna know what is there!! Get it opened already! The key to all knowledge will be there!
