1
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,640
This region has been home
to many civilizations.

2
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,080
If we count them
starting from the beginning,

3
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:47,440
there were the Hittites,

4
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,080
then there were the Phrygians,
then the Persians,

5
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,600
the Cappadocian kingdom,

6
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,080
the Roman Empire.

7
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,960
All the people
who passed through used them.

8
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,280
They were even in use
up until the Ottoman period.

9
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,560
There were no settlements

10
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,680
above ground in Derinkuyu until 1830.

11
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:14,320
The underground cities were
organized to cater for human living.

12
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,800
In other words, for daily life.

13
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,640
And for this,
all the resources were available.

14
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:28,040
Starting with the kitchen,
to the pantry, to the living spaces.
