"Did You Know This Ancient Empire Built a Secret Underground City?"
Script
Did you know that the ancient Derinkuyu Empire built a secret underground city in Turkey that could accommodate up to 20,000 people? This massive subterranean complex was carved out of volcanic rock in the 8th century BC and featured advanced ventilation systems, chapels, stables, and even wine cellars. It was so well-hidden that it remained undiscovered until 1963. Can you imagine living in a city beneath your feet? The empire's reason for building this underground metropolis remains a mystery, but one thing's for sure - it's a pretty cool place to hide from your in-laws.
