WOW. Getting into the Ancient Civilizations board has really opened up a smorgasbord of data - leading to new or intriguing trails for inquiry.
With the discovery of Gobekli Tepe, and other Tepe's in that near neighbourhood, a special place now in south-eastern Turkey, once called Anatolia, has been attracting a lot of attention. Within that, there is a very special place once called Cappadocia, where there is a subterranean city carved out and which was used over the last 2,000 - 3,000 years right up until approximately 1923 for people to leave the surface and survive periods of war or climactic or geological upheaval. This subterranean city is called Derinkuyu.

Recent research by Turkish Historian Omer Demir, author of Cappadocia: Cradle of Civilization, has developed the idea that this huge underground city complex was designed and built at the end of the Palaeolithic era, right before the anti-diluvian flood mentioned in the Bible, 12,500 years ago and that the Phrygians merely discovered and expanded on this already megalithic structure. Due to the problematic ability of archeologists to date solid volcanic rock, no definitive era can be determined for its construction.
Its location near Mt. Arafat where Noah’s Ark came to rest after the flood, the nearness to the megalithic structure of Gobekli Tepi and the fact that each floor could be sealed off from the one above it by half ton, water tight doorways of solid rock suggest that it was designed and built by architects on a grand scale to withstand flooding.
The fact that Derinkuyu is only one small city (yet could still hold as many as 25 to 50 thousand people) in a complex of over 200 cities, linked by miles of tunnels and the recently discovered (2014) ‘unknown to history’ city below the modern city of Nevsechir an hour drive North of Derinkuyu that dwarfs Derinkuyu by tenfold, suggests that this vast complex has yet to be thoroughly explored or understood.
I suggest that this city complex was designed and built around the time of Noah’s Ark and the ‘Sinking of Atlantis’ for humanity to survive the coming deluge that was obviously a well known fact. Noah would not have been able to design and build an Ark (submarine) of the dimensions written about in the Bible without advanced knowledge and highly technical assistance. So it is not a stretch to imagine that a city complex on the scale of the U.S. Deep Underground Military Bases (D.U.M.B.s) could be built as well.
The advanced technology and knowledge needed to build an underground city of such complexity would require architects and stone masons, capable of building such megalithic structures as the Giza Pyramids and Gobekli Tepi, while moving tons of rock. The thousands of tons of rock that would need to be moved to create this city complex has never been found, perhaps the flood swept it away.
