HISTORICAL BONUS
In 1963, a Turk began renovating his house. He demolished the wall in the basement and to his surprise appeared a secret room that led to an underground tunnel. The corridor ran straight into the ancient city of Derinkuyu. Persecuted Christians were supposed to be hiding there. The city is located 85 meters underground and has 8 levels. It was first mentioned in the 4th century BC.
