1
00:06:39,283 --> 00:06:41,683
This region has been home
to many civilizations.

2
00:06:41,763 --> 00:06:45,123
If we count them
starting from the beginning,

3
00:06:46,203 --> 00:06:47,483
there were the Hittites,

4
00:06:47,563 --> 00:06:50,123
then there were the Phrygians,
then the Persians,

5
00:06:50,963 --> 00:06:52,643
the Cappadocian kingdom,

6
00:06:52,723 --> 00:06:54,123
the Roman Empire.

7
00:06:54,203 --> 00:06:57,003
All the people
who passed through used them.

8
00:06:57,563 --> 00:07:01,323
They were even in use
up until the Ottoman period.

9
00:13:09,683 --> 00:13:11,603
There were no settlements

10
00:13:12,283 --> 00:13:16,723
above ground in Derinkuyu until 1830.

11
00:15:08,283 --> 00:15:14,363
The underground cities were
organized to cater for human living.

12
00:15:14,443 --> 00:15:17,843
In other words, for daily life.

13
00:15:19,083 --> 00:15:21,683
And for this,
all the resources were available.

14
00:15:23,203 --> 00:15:28,083
Starting with the kitchen,
to the pantry, to the living spaces.
