Original Note:
This post is factually incorrect, the city is actually 1000s of years old, and while it was used by Byzantine era Christians it was not built by them. It was likely built by Indo-European peoples such as the Phrygians, or the Hittites. https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20220810-derinkuyu-turkeys-underground-city-of-20000-people https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1877705816330594/pdf?md5=ddd383d8f8b8c4bb8707e551d68fd823&pid=1-s2.0-S1877705816330594-main.pdf
