Amazing Underground City

Mysterious and enchanting, this underground city is a motif that is often used within science fiction. But there are two ancient Turkish city that represents one of the many places that were in fact more powerful than fantasy.

* The rooms and the maze of alleyways that are dispersed which had become home to thousands of people can be found thousands of feet below the Turkish city of Capadocia. (Haluk Ozozlu)

Like a sea dwellers actual base, the population of the Central Anatolia brought the concept to the extreme underground life.

Discovered more than 100 feet below the surface, the ancient city Derinkuyu is probably the most impressive underground city is located in this region. The archaeologists determined that the tunnel and the basement complex maze that his position was once used as a safe haven for an estimated 100,000 people.

Derinkuyu was accidentally discovered in 1963 when a resident Capadocia currently working on the expansion of the cave where he lives, breaking through a wall to find a mysterious room that was carved in stone beside the residence.

Inspired by these findings, the owner of the cave continued to dig, find a room previously sculpted one by one. This finding opens one of the more interesting archaeological adventure in the last century.

Archaeologists have investigated along 130 feet beneath the surface, found an impressive occupancy decorated with stone carvings. But some archaeologists estimate that there are still many more investigations because of the depth of the city is estimated to reach at least 78 meters in the ground.

Although the famous tourist attraction offers eight levels of underground adventure for those who want to investigate Derinkuyu, but there is still another 10 or 12 level again which is now only archaeologists are allowed to investigate. The total number of levels of the city is still unknown.

Safe Shelter
Not used as a permanent residence, on the contrary, this underground shelter serves as a temporary hiding place for the city which is on the surface is attacked. Designed so that tens of thousands of people to live underground, safe from the advancing army for months at a time.

To be responsible for so many people who lived underground for a long time, city planners incorporate 50 more Derinkuyu ventilation tube into the design. Apart from many wells, the city also has a natural underground river to help meet the water needs of residents.

This underground rock sculpturing with primitive equipment in one room alone there may be a difficult task and requires a lot of energy, but scattered city has gangs maze of connecting rooms, urban areas and different levels -level. There's even an aisle 8 miles in length, connecting Derinkuyu with many other ancient underground city-Kaymakh.

Derinkuyu have rooms for all daily activities the same as that enjoyed by the people of this ancient city when they are surface dwellers. There is a desk, kitchen, dining room, tavern, like water tanks, shop, wine cellar and underground oil storage and a school. There are even places of worship, including a chapel with 19.5 x 9 meters wide with a ceiling height of almost 3 meters.

There is accommodation for many families and also room for pets, gardens, and enough food for about half a year. Kitchen stove is a trait that exist in both cities and in several places in Kaymakh, some alley decorated with Byzantine paintings.

Security Systems
Because of the underground city was used as a refuge for a few months of invaders who came from outside, holding the smugglers in order not to outside is a priority.

Derinkuyu equipped with a very large door moveable plate in the form of a very heavy rock, almost 60 cm thick and 1.8 meters in diameter more. These doors can digelinding open to let people enter and digelinding close to detain enemy out.

Because they are carved over the centuries, an amazing underground city is actually the product of several cultures.

For example Kaymakh, built between the 5th century and the 10th. Although the complete structure Kaymakh older than Derinkuyu initial construction-in which shows the 7th century, made by the Phrygians (population Phrygia, an ancient region in central western Asia Minor)-many archaeologists think that the first level of Kaymakh may have been built by Hittites (member of an ancient society that founded the empire in Asia Minor and Syria), about 1,400 BC.

Facts obtained on where it stated that these first inhabitants might never serve the rest of the population Hittites when their empire was destroyed by invaders from Thrace (population of Thrace, an ancient country located in the western Black Sea and the northern Aegean).

10 Strange Phenomena Ever Happened

Here are 10 scary strange phenomenon is happening in the world. Although there are many explanations about the phenomenon - that strange phenomenon, but it still can not answer is clear why it happened. One of the surprising is the occurrence of "blood rain in Kerala, India in September 2001".

Strangely after investigation, the red rain particles that contain similar to that of the blood. Odd, odd, unusual. How to explain this so that makes sense? What happened to the world? Why are there red berawarna rain, what makes it so? Another case is the true story of a region in Alaska that few residents. Where reported frequent cases of loss of population without a trace. The issue of developing a resident alien abducted.

So, more info on this strange phenomena, follow the little explanation below.

1. Blood rain phenomenon in Kerala, India

Between July 25 and September 23, 2001, reported that rain has fallen strangely with unusual water color that is red. Strange and terrible incident occurred in the southern Indian state of Kerala. The man was shocked and scared because it was raining like the shed blood freely from the sky. Blood rain is occurring sporadic throughout the region and scientists rushed to the scene to analyze its composition.
After the rain water was investigated, the discovery mengerjutkan in the can. Whereas, microscopic particles present in the water, the same found in human blood cells. That's why rain water change color to resemble the color of blood.
But this explanation is still a big Question mark, let alone at the same time show a variety of analysis about the strange incident. The more confused when it appears again the theory associated with meteorites and kalelawar. This theory states, that the meteorite, which has plagued the atmosphere shortly before the rainy season began, has collided with a flock of bats and their blood spraying into the atmosphere.
Perhaps the most ambitious theory is that the scientist Godfrey Louis and Santhosh Kumar of the University Muhatma Gandhi, Karela. They speculated that the contaminating cells originating from outside the earth and that they had been brought to Earth by meteorites, confirming the theory of panspermia. Louis and Kumar said, that the cell has the "unusual nature".
2. Burning Man

This phenomenon is very rare and does not make sense, scientific theory can not solve the mystery of why people are suddenly able to burn without being burned. What is the cause, is not known until now. Strangely the only part of it on fire while the legs do not. That is why in many cases this bizarre, the victim who died was found still wearing sandals.
3. Strange light phenomena

Rattling file cabinets, gas pipes exploded and five-star performance from Charlton Heston and Lorne Green was not the only signs that your house has been hit by earthquakes. Testimonies testimonies from survivors of the earthquake have often heard reports of strange flashes of light that shot upward rolling in the area around the epicenter of the quake. This phenomenon last occurred in the region of ancient China as well as in Lincolnshire, England, where people claimed to see strange lights and flying balls of light ball light.
Scientists have theorized that light is the result of geo-luminescence, a phenomenon where rocks actually produce light when exposed to extreme pressure, and that ease is the result of friction geology.
4. Ball Lightning Ball Lightning

The phenomenon of odd-shaped circle of power is usually the case during the storm and lasts up to thirty seconds. Strange and terrible. Sometimes grabbing, hiss hiss of vines on the wall of the building, pulled out sounds terrible. In the past, people often link this phenomenon with the presence of aliens or ghosts. Banya people have made statements about the phenomenon of ball lightning-shaped, including Benjamin Franklin, but so far no adequate explanation of the phenomenon.
But with advances in technology, the photo technology is also a video, made scientists seriously concerned about this phenomenon of lightning round. They also tried to find an explanation of this phenomenon.
5. Saint Elmo's Fire

Saint Elmo's Fire is described by scientists as a plasma phenomenon. St. Elmo is a fire caused by ionization in the atmosphere. The name is Saint Elmo's lightning-ie, the patron saint of sailors, because initially the phenomenon that appears above the ship deck, especially during storms. The color, blue, green.
6. The vacuum phenomenon Creatures Animal Blood

This story appeared because of the hundreds of animals found dead in a disjointed state (mutilation) in South America. Then came allegations that still are rumors that the cause is a strange creature called the Chupacabras. In the last decade, these cases appear again, including in Brazil where hundreds of cattle are found mutilated. A unique and scary, at which have mutilated cattle were discovered only a little blood. It seems most of these cattle blood has been sucked by strange creatures. Much like Dracula. Other signs, is the jaw, tongue and anus are missing. These signs together with cattle mutilation case in America.
The myth of blood-sucking creatures first appeared in Puerto Rico in the 1970s. When it was reported many dead goats and sheep with the blood sucked out. Indeed in the early emergence of this case, the target creature is a goat and sheep. But in the next two decades, new cases appeared in Mexico, where the attack is not just goat and sheep, but also other animals.
There are a number of theories that explain the emergence of this horrible creature in South America. The most logical explanation is that they are native species and that Amazon deforestation has forced them to leave the rain forest for the first time in search of food. But there are also other stories that developed and was also believed some people, the creatures came from outside the Earth due to the fact that most often attacks the goat appeared to coincide with sightings preached.
Various kinds of explanations about the blood-sucking creatures that are still a source of debate. Many said that the predator might be also the mutilated cattle mutilations or there is also a suspect was the result of secret government experiment. Until now this problem of predatory creatures still be a sign of Tanya and mystery.
7. By Alien Abduction

UFO sightings so varied, with descriptions of the most opposed to human logic. Amazing story, the kidnapping of foreign individuals. It appears here shows that more active imaginative work here. The stories that the kidnapping of the man-woman for the proliferation of alien creatures, or so many people who claim to have been abducted by aliens and alien fetus dijanin has been embedded.
Established theory that can explain it is the presence of strong electromagnetic fields, may occur naturally, can cause a person to feel attacked simultaneously in nearby existing electrical equipment disturbed by the magnetic field so that the electrical equipment (such as a car radio) do not work. People then saw flashes of light before fainting. Built from experiences like that, the word "aliens", would be the first on your lips.
8. The Taos Hum, buzz Weird Mysteries

Residents in the town of Taos, New Mexico, have long been puzzled by the strange phenomenon that occurs in the region namely, the emergence of the buzzing sound that seemed to come from far away, sounds like a diesel engine that burns. But the sound source not found it until now.

This sounds strangely not all could hear, just never heard about half of the population. Those who have heard ever visited the scientists to ask for an explanation of this phenomenon. Research carried out has failed. Even the sound detection by using sophisticated audio equipment was not successful. Case in Taos is almost similar to Hawaii. About Hum in Hawaii, people speculated that shows the activity of volcanoes in the area.

9. Foo Fighters are Mysterious

Before the phenomenon of flying saucer craze in the 1950s, another strange phenomenon that became the subject of great debate for the U.S. air force pilots in World War II is a strange ball of light flying over German airspace and the Pacific Ocean at high speed, causing frustration for both Allied and Axis pilots. Both believe that the "ball of fire" that is the kind of enemy aircraft experiment (foo fighter).

United States Air Force became increasingly concerned at how easily the foo fighters could outmaneuver their own aircraft. Although never involved in combat with the foo fighters, seen as a nuisance to the way they are 'dancing' around and fly in close formation with the U.S. plane.

Many pilots feel that foo figaahter tease them a certain way. Foo fighters name comes from the belief that Japan was responsible for this high speed mocking, although sightings continued after the conflict ended. Cylindrical and disc shaped craft Also reported were the resource persons in the sama over Europe. Cylindrical discs were also reported in the skies over Europe.

10. Passing the Time Travel


Ancient artifacts from 10,000 BC have been found which showed pictures of foreign men who wear such clothes space. The creature was strange in the artifact was wearing transparent clothing with similar equipment helmet on his head. Is that a gun or similar tool.

Whoever the people depicted in these artifacts, is or will be, they seem to have been drawn by human beings since ancient times human beings who lived during that period. Appears also paintings cave paintings, Egyptian hieroglyphs. Even more astonishing presence of ancient artifacts from Egypt that a portrait of a flying saucer, airplane and helicopter. This led archaeologists puzzled. Is this prophecy, that someday we will be dealing with extraterrestrial aliens (non-human) or one day we will expand our capabilities so that it can travel through time?

A Link between Egypt and Americas ?

According to the official view there was no contact between the Old World and the New World before Columbus. Yet numerous similarities have been found that suggest a link between Egypt and the Americas:

• Both have huge pyramids, aligned to the cardinal points

• Both have structures built with megalithic stones and extremely fine joints

• Both exhibit intriguing bumps on many unfinished stone blocks (Picture 1)

• Both employed a unique style of construction using "L" shaped corners

• Both use the same style of metal clamps to hold the huge stones in place

• Both used the process of mummification to preserve and honor their dead

These compelling similarities suggest that both ancient cultures were influenced by a sophisticated common source.

Ancient Walls of Sacsahuaman

Ancient Walls of Sacsahuaman
by Richard Nisbet.

(Click to enlarge - JPG/256K)

Here is a mystery:

The chronicler Garcilaso de la Vega was born around 1530, and raised in the shadow of these walls. And yet he seems not to have had a clue as to how Sacsahuaman was built. He wrote:

"....this fortress surpasses the constructions known as the seven wonders of the world. For in the case of a long broad wall like that of Babylon, or the colossus of Rhodes, or the pyramids of Egypt, or the other monuments, one can see clearly how they were executed...how, by summoning an immense body of workers and accumulating more and more material day by day and year by year, they overcame all difficulties by employing human effort over a long period. But it is indeed beyond the power of imagination to understand now these Indians, unacquainted with devices, engines, and implements, could have cut, dressed, raised, and lowered great rocks, more like lumps of hills than building stones, and set them so exactly in their places. For this reason, and because the Indians were so familiar with demons, the work is attributed to enchantmet.."

Surely a few of those 20,000 laborers were still around when Garcilaso was young. Was everyone struck with amnesia? Or is Sacsahuaman much older than we've been led to believe?

Sacsahuaman (1975) by Richard Nisbet

Archaeologists tell us that the walls of Sacsahuaman rose ten feet higher than their remnants. That additional ten feet of stones supplied the building materials for the cathedrals and casas of the conquistadors.

It is generally conceded that these stones were much smaller than those lithic monsters that remain.

Perhaps the upper part of the walls, constructed of small, regularly-shaped stones was the only part of Sacsahuaman that was built by the Incas and "finished in 1508." This could explain why no one at the time of the conquest seemed to know how those mighty walls were built.

There are no other walls like these. They are different from Stonehenge, different from the Pyramids of the Egyptians and the Maya, different from any of the other ancient monolithic stoneworks.

Sacsahuaman by Richard Nisbet

The stones fit so perfectly that no blade of grass or steel can slide between them. There is no mortar. They often join in complex and irregular surfaces that would appear to be a nightmare for the stonemason. There is usually neither adornment nor inscription. There is Elfin whimsy here, as well as raw, primitive and mighty expression.

Sacsahuaman by Richard Nisbet

Most of these walls are found around Cuzco and the Urubamba River Valley in the Peruvian Andes. There a few scattered examples elsewhere in the Andes, but almost nowhere else on Earth.

Mostly, the structures are beyond our ken. The how, why and what simply baffle. Modern man can neither explain nor duplicate.

Mysteries like this bring out explanations scholarly, whimsical, inventive and ridiculous.

Through these photographs and snippets of lore and opinion, these pages hope to entertain, tantalize and perhaps even to inspire.

Sacsahuaman by Richard Nisbet

"How were such titanic blocks of stone brought to the top of the mountain from the quarries many miles away? How were they cut and fitted? How were they raised and put in place? Now one knows, no one can even guess. There are archaeologists, scientists, who would have us believe that the dense, hard andesite rock was cut, surfaced and faced by means of stone or bronze tools. Such an explanation is so utterly preposterous that it is not even worthy of serious consideration. No one ever has found anywhere any stone tool or implement that would cut or chip the andesite, and no bronze ever made will make any impression upon it."

A. Hyatt & Ruth Verrill ----America's Ancient Civilizations

Jean-Pierre Protzen proved the Verrills wrong. He went to Cuzco and showed how river rocks could be used as hammers to pound stones into the desired shape.

"It appears that the Inca technique of fitting the blocks together was based largely on trial and error. It is a laborious method, particularly if one considers the size of some of the huge stones at Sacsahuaman or Ollantaytambo. What should be kept in mind, however, is that time and labor power were probably of little concern to the Incas, who did not have a European notion of time and had plenty of tribute labor from conquered peoples at their disposal."

Jean-Pierre Protzen ---Scientific American ---Feb. 1986
