Enormous Underground City Discovered in Turkey
Archaeologists in Turkey have discovered a massive underground city, which they believe may be the largest in the world. They have only excavated 3% of it so far but are unearthing multitudes of rooms, tunnels, hidden passages and artifacts on a daily basis.
Daily Sabah reports that the discovery was made in the Midyat district of Mardin, an area that is already rich with history and culture and is protected as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The underground city, which has been called Matiate (‘city of caves’), was discovered accidentally during the cleaning and conservation of historical streets and houses in Midyat. Workers were cleaning a cave when they discovered a passage. Excavation work then revealed a multitude of rooms and other tunnels leading from it, as well artifacts and wall murals.
