Is there any reason these subterranean species of yours might not be made out of some exotic type of matter/physiology?
Or are you set on lizards living in caves next to lava at ridiculous temperatures and pressures? I don't think science could support that...no matter how much you abuse it.
So far, very little evidence for residential use has been found. Through the radiocarbon method, the end of Layer III can be fixed at about 9000 BCE (see above) but it is believed that the elevated location may have functioned as a spiritual center by 11,000 BCE or even earlier, essentially at the very end of the Pleistocene.
The surviving structures, then, not only predate pottery, metallurgy, and the invention of writing or the wheel, they were built before the so-called Neolithic Revolution, i.e., the beginning of agriculture and animal husbandry around 9000 BCE. But the construction of Göbekli Tepe implies organization of an advanced order not hitherto associated with Paleolithic, PPNA, or PPNB societies. Archaeologists estimate that up to 500 persons were required to extract the heavy pillars from local quarries and move them 100–500 meters (330–1,640 ft) to the site.[29] The pillars weigh 10–20 metric tons (10–20 long tons; 11–22 short tons), with one still in the quarry weighing 50 tons.[30] It has been suggested that an elite class of religious leaders supervised the work and later controlled whatever ceremonies took place. If so, this would be the oldest known evidence for a priestly caste—much earlier than such social distinctions developed elsewhere in the Near East

a reply to: ForteanOrgI see no reason to believe that the earthquakes we get here are not due to the gaspumping or simply natural causes.

That's because you choose to believe what they tell you. Do you have any proof that it was due to gaspumping?

A picture is worth a thousand words, sometimes.

I had a buddy tell me the main underground group are silicon based.
He was SF among other things.
He stated the beings were silicon based and couldn't care less about us.
