[@innocentbystander3317]

The roads made by Roman peasants still exist today, whereas the pavement done by professionals and engineers didn't survive the winter, and that's called "progress." 😂 Clearly, we need a Roman circus for our politicians. They seemed to know how to get things done!

[@viviblaat5831]

@@innocentbystander3317 The Roman roads aren't that comfortable to travel on though and people tend to prefer comfort. The Romans installed a Cesar to have temporary power but instead never gave his power up. So we already learned from them what works and what doesn't work.

Building cities underground was a pretty decent strategy back in earlier periods of human history, especially in arid regions. It makes sense that some modern towns or cities in those regions were built on top of dead cities that originally were used.

[@user-it5eb5bk7i]

I wouldn’t mind living in an “underground” home. Makes sense in areas where the outdoor environments are…extreme…as in hot or cold, windy or stagnant, or in areas where there are annual weather events that are extreme, like cyclones, tornadoes, etc. It makes more sense than, say, skyscrapers. And it makes sense as a strategy to prevent attacks. Definitely does not in areas where flooding occurs regularly, of course. There? The stilts or building UP is a better plan, but all of that’s just my opinion. And you know what they say about those! Thanks for another good video. Take care all!✌🏼

I visited in the early 90's before the balloons (and tourist hordes) arrived. It was fun to see it again, and remember the details - just before you told them. I was advised to take warm clothes to put on, because you leave the 35 deg burning heat outside and it gets pretty cold, pretty quickly as you descend. It's a truly amazing feat of engineering and totally worth a visit - to the whole area. I stayed in Goreme.

[@HieronymousCheese]

@@WingManFang1 Clearly 35 deg C. Only three countries do not use the metric system: the United States, Liberia and Burma. The rest of the world uses Celsius, where 0 is the freezing point of water and 100 is the boiling point of water (at sea level). 35 deg is really rather hot!! 😓😎

This is how humans came up with a way to keep foods cool, so as to delay rotting. One might even call it a rephrygeration system.

actually that was not an actual problem, considering it was just the fruits that need that, and they come in seasons.. and that's it... most grains can be stored as is, the rest of food , milk, meat.. can be preserved with fermentation techniques, or salt...add some water alter , mix it, and you get the idea.. the refrigerator is a fairly modern invention, we take for granted now...

[@CaptainCattywampus]

The film Fellini Satyricon comes to mind... It offers a somewhat broken/incomplete snapshot of what life must have been like in these times, including glimpses of the underground city. But be forewarned, it's an old and extremely bizarre film, and once you watch it, it takes permanent residence in your brain, to be recalled when you least expect it... It's that weird.

The idea that people couldn't make complicated buildings 3000 years ago is such a trope. They might not have been as "sophisticated" as we are in the 21st century, but they certainly weren't as primitive as they are often portrayed to be.

[@Betweoxwitegan]

Well they couldn't... It obviously depends on how you define "complicated" relative to one's perspective though.

Better bring your winter coat lol 20 stories down will be in the upper 30s-mid40s with a breeze with a slight bit lower at night of course. The perfect zone is 1-2 stories down, you get a good 63-70 degrees F year-round regardless of surface temps do not surpass 100 degrees give or take.

[@paoloviti6156]

It is good to understand that also Italy was promised many things after 1st WW but they turned thier backs with Treaty of Versailles was a peace treaty signed on 28 June 1919 that created a lot resentment among the Italians. It is called the wrong peace, also in Germany and other countries including of course Greece but led directly to the 2nd WW. That said also in Italy we have something similar in a beautiful place called Matera with many houses dug in in but more for religious asceticism in a landscape quiet similar to Turkey thoseundergroundcities are far older. Very interesting video and thanks for sharing 👍 👍👍

[@Vincent_Beers]

All of those air vents should have made someone curious.

[@jackdurden466]

I’ve seen a couple of videos about this place before and I’ve always thought that it’d be so cool to inhabit it. They clearly made it with the intention of prolonged use, and if we were to go in a modernize it some it could be quite comfortable! As soon as electricity would be added, the list of possibilities would be endless. Starting with air circulation and temperature control. After that the fun begins. Reserve me a room!
