Underground cities and networks around the World

Underground cities and networks around the World – Discoveries (Part 2)

(Read the article on one page)

Recently in my article I mentioned how extensive underground networks of tunnels have been found throughout Europe. Here we explore some of the other remarkable underground discoveries that have occurred throughout the world.


Derinkuyu in Cappadocia in Turkey is probably the largest underground city that has been discovered to date. It spans more than 8 levels going as deep as 80 meters with more than 600 entrances to the surface. Although the date the original city was built is unknown, the Turkish Department of Culture dates the city back to the 8 th century BC.  It was made by the Phrygians, ancient Indo-European people, who worshiped the “Great Mother”, Cybele, as the Greeks and Romans knew her. The Phrygians developed an advanced culture, famous for its music and the legend of King Midas, a Phrygian King, who turned everything he touched into gold.  

Why the city was built is still unknown, but what is known is that it was used by the Christians escaping persecution from the Roman Empire in the 2 nd century AD. Cappadocia includes a huge number of underground tunnels and ‘cities’ and more and more are discovered every year.


In Egypt, the Giza Plateau has an enormous underground system that is a combination of manmade caverns and tunnels as well as subterranean rivers and passages. Since 1978 the caverns have been mapped using ground penetrating radar with the explorations led by Dr Jim Hurtak who has supposedly entered massive chambers larger than our largest cathedrals. A few historians believe that the underground cave system in Giza, is the legendary ‘City of the Gods’, the massive underground city described by ancient writers Herodotus (5 th century BC) and Strabo (1 st Century AD). Herodotus wrote:


Furthermore, he spoke of the discovery of a multi-level megalithic metropolis under Giza that was 15,000 years old.

Many ancient writers supported Herodotus' record of underground passages connecting major pyramids and Lamblichus, a fourth-century Syrian representative of the Alexandrian School of mystical and philosophical studies, recorded information about an entranceway through the body of the Sphinx into the Great Pyramid:

This entrance, obstructed in our day by sands and rubbish, may still be traced between the forelegs of the crouched colossus. It was formerly closed by a bronze gate whose secret spring could be operated only by the Magi. It was guarded by public respect, and a sort of religious fear maintained its inviolability better than armed protection would have done. In the belly of the Sphinx were cut out galleries leading to the subterranean part of the Great Pyramid.  These galleries were so art-fully crisscrossed along their course to the Pyramid that, in setting forth into the passage without a guide throughout this network, one ceasingly and inevitably returned to the starting point.

Since the declassification of the ground penetrating radar, more and more underground systems have been discovered but not yet explored in various places around the world.



South and Central America

In Guatemala, 800 kilometres worth of tunnels have been mapped underneath the Mayan pyramid complex at Tikal.  Researchers have suggested that this may provide an explanation for how half a million Mayans escaped the decimation of their culture.

In 2008 archaeologists in Mexico discovered eleven stone temples in underground caves including an underground road that Mayans believe that it was the road to the Mythical underworld city known as Xibalba as mentioned in the previous article.

North America

In April of 1909 there was a story in the Phoenix Gazette entitled ‘Explorations in Grand Canyon’ where a man named Kinkaid discovered several hundred underground rooms some of them containing artifacts such as weapons and instruments unknown to native Americans, Egyptian-like hieroglyphics, mummies and a Buddha-like statue.


See, for example, some webpages I' ve been created:
At present day nobody knows if, and how much, those hypogea are underground living places or supported ritual functions. Through a very long time-span, probably both...
Hi! and congratulations for your pages!

I think as in the pitcures 1 2 and 4 one of the biggest questions I would have is this! How did they light these caves and tunnel systems? It is not with a carbon based (burning something) system that would leave a residue of some sort of soot on the ceilings and possible the walls!

great finds! Keep me updated






I have much more research evidence to support the above view than just my opinion. For example, the Zep Tepi (early pre-dynasty Egyptians) chronicled at least two previous calendars, one of 360 solar days, and an earlier one of 288 solar days. The 360 day calendar was the original form of all developing cultures from the Sumerians, Egyptians, Ethiopians, Chinese, and Maya. Which was followed by an addition of 5.25 'dead days' about 3,600 years ago. If the Zep Tepi calendar changed to a shorter cycle as indicated by their records, then the Earth got significantly closer to the sun. When the Ice Melt Pulse ended -7,000 years ago almost exactly, the Earth moved back out to a 360 day solar cycle, which is evidenced in ALL early cultures. The early Zodiac attests to that cycle.

I am writing a book on the subject, which should be out later this year.

I know that our current understanding of the history of intelligent life on theis planet is quote flawed. We really have no idea of what 'a long time' is. Instead of 'In the begining' I believe the truth starts with...'Once upon a time a long time ago, in a place far far away....'. Everything pretty much changed for me after reading Genisis...I think it's chap.6 ver 4 when the Nephilium are mentioned...yea...that kind of changes everything.
