WTF is this even about?

EDIT:
oh I think I know what this might be about.

That is so mysterious. I've dug a hole. Gravity pretty much forces you to manually lift every ounce or gram of matter you want out of the hole. And then you have to find somewhere to put those ounces and grams of weight. That's just digging little holes in soil. Or foxholes or 6-foot graves, if we want to really think about shoveling duty.

So-- Entire cities dug from limestone underground? What kind of multi-generational scratching with handtools project is that? Wikipedia (lamely and unconvincingly, IMO) says those underground cities were for defensive purposes. Quoting a Roman guy. A hole in the ground with one exit up doesn't seem trustworthy for defense. I'd prefer to trust in a rodent prairie dog underground defense system. A maze of tunnels, and many, many close and distant exit points, all over the grid.

Seems we're missing some pretty huge insights about those carved-out underground cities projects. If it were only one, we might think some misguided overlord managed apply thousands of slave hours into some misguided project. But there are 3 or so. That means a few generations had reasons to reasons to build reverse pyramids, going down instead of up.....

I think these are abandoned reptilian cities. If you are thinking its a joke, read ancient Egyptian "The Tale of the Shipwrecked Sailor", look at this article, and consider giving oath to snake-person.

OK, a hypothesis:
-Those ancient people didn't have to excavate that hole. It was a natural sink hole. Limestone is pretty water-soluble, and most big caves form in limestone. Derinkuyu is limestone, so it seems it could form a natural sinkhole.

-Those people didn't carve dwelling out for defense. They did it because of the nice even year-round temperatures underground. Comparatively warm in the winter, cool in the summer. Those people on the surface can cut and haul firewood all winter, if they can find any. We don't need much of that stuff. Nice!

-As for hauling out the tailings: If it was a sinkhole, why do that? Just dump them over the side to the bottom of the hole. It was probably full of water anyway.

I may or may not talk to myself more in this thread. It's still undetermined.

Ha. OP, change your avatar.

The demented part is still undetermined as well.

My hypothesis above is complete bunk. I just checked out a diagram of Derinkuyu. That's no sinkhole. That's 11 layers of planned construction.

Wait, now there's a conspiracy involved? I guess I missed that. The plot thickens....!

No need to condescend upon all of OOPE as a whole, mate. Was just half-serious stuff, thrown out there for discussion. Can easily find the real academic anthropology facts about Derinkuyu. No doubt it's been photographed, mapped, grid-lined, and analyzed since the 19th century or before. No need to discuss or speculate, all that has already been done. I for sure don't want to be pigeonholed as a "conspiracy theorist"!

There are people that are putting in hours to check things like this in a game OOPod there is a lot of stuff that can be classed as worthwhile thought.

Also, the reason that BPS excerpt is listed; due to the derail posts dumped in a thread that can easily be ignored.

If you took that personally, then maybe you should have just held 'whatever it is, it's bull****' out of sight and out of mind.

There were also mentions of lizard cities, but I guess if someone gets wrapped up with an expected value everything else can be excluded, also mentioned in that BPS post.


I'll be honest with you, I didn't even check the replies until the other day.


Not seen the guy, my Tukoss lookalike with heavy lipstick got a ticket to doomheim

I can see how you plucked it.

This avatar is a gril though. Not like I need to see it.

few years ago my friend was there and he was also interesed . howewer he found something more interesing exacly four identical shaped stones all were 30cm size old people said that these stones have electricity . but none of them was carrying parts that would look like battery or capacitor. they took them and put them together and once LED diode was attached it lighted faintly and shortly later faded out they said something about very large caves approx 150m lenght and 90m width with 40m height there was four caves of that type and four shafts above them caves were 60m underground and shafts were deep to 115 metersthey claim that it was old spaceport as vessels were starting and landing in these caves they showed him only one shaft as only one location was found the shafts were sealed with concrete and stones for about 3meters deep after that only sand and stones at approx 8th meter water was present. shaft walls were octagonal shape .. the ships landed several hundreds years ago and shafts were closed . nobody reached the caves yet he couldnt take pictures as his camera and cellphone was confiscated for duration of his travel to this area. . he only got piece of stone from shaft wall that appears to be melted. three other shafts were either collapsed and destroyed. but they were found . there was three spaceports like this and last visitors were in place like sixteen years ago there came a young men that had long steel rod or needle and was puncturing ground all over place he punctured few more and noted something on paper and keept puncturing ground and noted something three times more he came back with shovel and digged in six locations approx half meter deep into ground he bagged the ground pieces and took them with him . he came next day and continued ddigging for another half meter deep . so one meter at all in one of digged holes he took few stone pieces and quickly throw ground back to holes year later he came back just to puncture ground in six places and went back. he never come back later. nobody know what he was doing untill now. these four shafts were located not far from place where this mysterious underground city might be located its not related to them as these shafts were perfect 90 angle the old people only said these ships were not metal but stone that was empty inside the stone shaped vessel and only stone were walls inside these strange objects. also had thin layer a of steel similar material and another layer that was placed on steel layer to protect if from atmospheric enviroments

there are plans for exploring these ventilation shafts . other shafts are in too bad condition to be explored all are collapsed/destroyed except one that was closed by most likely "owner" layer of concrete and stones need to be removed and all along stones and sand need to be removed too and water pumped out to acces the caves

only interessing fact about these four shafts were that some sort of steel rails were found in few ocations all was about circle . probably the device used to dig these shaft was based on the rails so it could move while drilling traces for this werent found except few steel rivets and some metal plates that were used to attach something on them and only 6cm long rail piece was found

[Post felt bad about itself, self-destructed. Those Hittite and/or Phrygian underground climate-controlled chambers sure would cure up some bacon slabs and sausage links nice though.... Game on!]
