- Close to the border with Syria, Midyat in Turkey has been home to many civilizations over the last 3,000 years.
Excavation teams recently discovered a vast underground network of caves and passages forming an underground city, thought to be almost 2,000 years old.
Valuables dating back to Roman times were found in the dig, including candlesticks, coins and bracelets.
It’s believed the city was used as a space to work, store, sleep and worship in times of war, and would've been inhabited by 70,000 people.

Fascinating.1,900 years old and you are there with the reporter,exploring ...
Except he’s stupid because it wasn’t “connected basements” as he says. Also these were discovered in the 1960s.
I can't wait to see this wonderful place!!
So fascinating. And yet my claustrophobia would never allow me to tour in person. Maybe I was trapped in such world in a previous life.
👍🤫😀 (Me, too)
Nah. I say I come from plains people. We didn't hang out in small spaces which is why I can't handle them now.
Reincarnation is a hoax
My scientific brain wpuld be telling me
:there are no faults or cracks. The soft stone has not moved for a thousand years, and it will not move for 10 thousand more.
My monkey brain:
Get out now!!
Lmao that probably wasn’t even a thing back then… how blessed we are.
So much of this footage was of the guy’s high-vis jacket and close ups of people’s faces that I just don’t care about. Such a shame that we didn’t see even more footage of the rooms themselves.
Amazing. Thanks for sending a camera crew down there.
Thanks for this 👍
I love this presenters excitement
On my bucket list now
@1:20 that was such a Nick Frost moment for the presenter. 😂
Waau awesome. Can grow food underground also, with mirroring sun light to use. We doing shielded food growth. They created tools to underground caves material handling. Show also the tools they made caves spaces with !!

stunning
a whole city underground sounds incredible. I wonder how they dealt with sewage, the need for fresh water, fuel for lighting up the interiors, ventilation for all the carbon dioxide from people, animals and fires, and so many other small things that would become much more difficult if you lived underground. On top of that, how did they grow their food? It couldn't have been a permanent settlement of much size because those considerations would make it too difficult to stay there for long.
The biggest question is probably how they lit up the place. We have lights that are bright and can run indefinitely with electricity, but back then, you had to use candles or oil lamps, and those aren't all that bright. Imagine how much fuel it would take to light up the place. candles aren't cheap, and neither is oil, especially if you are going to use it to illuminate thousands of lamps for extended periods of time. Not only that, you now need to keep the place lit throughout the day and night. If they go out, you are stuck in pitch black darkness. There was no convenient lighter you could pull out of your pocket so you could catch your bearings. Instead you had to fumble around until you found a candle or lamp, hope you didn't knock it over, then find your fire starting kit, strike an ember, use that to light some tinder, then light the lamp- all in darkness. So they would need some way to ensure that the lights never went out or they would all be screwed.
You must see Meymand in Kerman
That village has about 10000 years old and belonged to ancient people
So the main question is who build it Muslims?? Or christians build it ??
صباح الخير من مدينة سيفاس التركية 🇹🇷 حيث أعلن الخباز التركي علي يلديز عبر لافتة علقها على باب مخبزه أنه سيبيع الخبز والسميت والبوتشه (نوع من المعجنات التركية) بليرتين فقط ولذلك أملا في أن يدعو له الزبائن بالخير
وكتب يلديز على اللافتة التي علقها بجانب باب محله "الخبز والسميت والبوتشه بـ 2.00 ليرة.. لا يؤثم من يسرق رغيف خبز (بسبب الجوع)، لكن يؤثم من لا يشارك ألف قطعة خبز (يمتلكها)"

Is this the actual location for the movie As Above, So Below?
I know it should have been the catacombs but man this could have been the underground shown in the movie.
Could this place be where the Hebrews hid and settled while they were wondering in the desert for 40 years after the Exodus?
As a turk everyone would like to watch like those videos bless you BBC
Wow!
its not a BBC documentary until you dont hear the typical background music they play for every middle eastern country
Hi @bbc one correction in 3:46 he says 350 thousand square meters not 350

I was thinking: damn, I should HOPE it ends up being bigger than 350 meters. 😅
How is it so weathered from being underground??
Isn't this weird? BBC news has over 13 million subscribers and only 110k people watched this?
The have made incredible thing,
Dont have technic
Oh gosh, how many of these places they have in Turkey actually?
Why is he scratching walls that's 2000 years old?

@@Leo-gt1bx Exactly.
anyone know the name of the Journalist?
Given my surname, I now consider this to be my second home. 😀
Lol same here not just the surname , even the first name is present in our language Ashura means bad/monsters and our people were described as ashur in history (BC period ) so it makes perfect sense for the kings name and we people (according to history) are migrants from iran and other close by areas to india 😂 so it makes double sense
@@donttellmejustlisten4598Asura means demons in Vedic religion too
Must have been fun getting rid of waste(human,animal and other garbage) must of stunk in there. And no sunlight=no vitamin D. How did the live for years without it?

I love travel to Turkey
Even the present city looks old
Ruhi did the exploring last year so yeah you are late but thanks though
They didn't have the technology we have today but they were very talented and clever
@@punkinhoot people today have everything but still dumb
@@punkinhoot we are literally constructing particle colliders and have built networks of information... just our most basic geographical surveying technology is a masterminds dream.
back in the day most people worked on the farm or in some shop and that's the same it is today.
Only because we have refined tools for the basic stuff doesn't mean the complex stuff isn't difficult.
Your comment is anti-progress... which means you are either some extreme anti-accelerationists or a naturalist of the highest degree... both prospects disgust me bruh
@@punkinhoot can you do that?
Maybe they did have technology, maybe its lost, maybe their technology went in a different path than ours did.

I wonder where they did 1 & 2 ,n bathing....
Any one els watched the Netflix series and find it stupid there only saying there around 1900 years old when they have proof there much older than that!
1,900 years what proof???
Pretty terrible camera work and/or editing choices! Mostly extended shots of people's faces, people's backs, closeups of brooms sweeping, inappropriate use of shallow depth of field, etc etc
This shows the power humans could have if everyone got off there phone’s
Why do you think phones exist

It's very interesting...
But..
...where are the turkey's........?
The bird turkey was actually named after the country! Turkeys are native to the Americas

Who build these caves Christians??
"nineteen hundred years old." nope.
I wonder why they left?
How did they grow food underground and not get rickets? They must have come up now and then to grow food and get well.
They weren't constantly underground.... They used it to be safe from sieges during the unrest of the Byzantine empire
@@tux_duh how long would that go on for. Was it over something like 100 years. Because that is a lot of work, as if it's going to be worth it if it lasts on and off for about a century.
@@tux_duhlol
That's just, like, WAY cool! 🤔😎🤘🏻 How much is the rent? 🤔🤣
cheap probably

This underground city was made to protect themselves from giants.
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.”
Genesis 6:1-4 KJV
Thanks to Turkey for hardwork

In a world facing a series of crises, we must protect the spirit of sport. Sport must offer a space to bring people together, around universal values.
This football World Cup, the first organized in an Arab country, is a sign of tangible changes underway. Qatar is headed in this direction. It must continue, and it can count on our support.
To all the teams and nations represented: with every goal scored, cheers of joy reverberate around the world. So let’s cheer together!
And… Allez les Bleus !

Sports is created by the elites to distract the citizens from protesting or questioning the government.

Its only because the Netflix documentary Graham Hancock- Our Universe this is because news.!
I watched that. Fantastic theories and an alternative understanding to why the people of that time, may have hidden underground.

Wake up its not turkeys history its the history of greece
Come take it back lol@@KingSargon96
The coin from 1322 it's writing on it.

Why did Turkey get the works?
For the last time: that's nobody's business but the Turks!
How many times are you gonna show the guy brushing the stone and the back of someone's orange jacket???? Most useless footage of such an incredible place.
How is this news?
well someone is gonna get some tourism money and fame
Graham Hancock's new netflix series is very thought provoking expanding on his 1990's work...
Most 'dangerous' show on netflix, according to the guardian.
@@pjdunnit6753 I know hilarious , Graham and Randall Carlson were on Joe Rogan recently and they went over all that....
Back in the 1990's the establishment said there was nothing as far back as the last ice age then they found Go Beki Tepi
ironically in the mid 1990's but not discussed widely until a decade or so later when it was dated to around 10 500 BC.

Dangerous to whom?
I am assure they approve of Cuties

These could have been the caves where ancient Syrian and Canaanites (Knanaya) survived against Roman and Islamic. Knanaya are a sect of Christians who arrived in Kerala (southern state in India) around the 5-6th C AD.
This is good for zombie apocalypse,
Let's not forget that the biggest payouts in the markets don't come from great performances but rather it's great promotions. Stay invested, diversification for streams of incomes is very important
Well said,. Investing is good but investing in the right things is the actual key to success. I think Investing in the CRYPTO, and FOREX market is the future to financial freedom
There might be so many investment out there but if profit must be considered which is the actual sole aim of every investment then I'll advice you to go into bitcoin trading because it has a higher profit rate than most investments.
Investing in stocks is a good idea, a good trading system would put you through many days of success
