Don't take the following as an obnoxious distraction. I've not fully imbibed the featured article yet, but the entire area (region) is verily a bedlam of magnificence and wonder.

Those unfamiliar with Derinkuyu must change this hastily. Do your own research, but please see this image (pardon the url - I've been flagged for... browsing the Internet and can't access it directly):

And an underground map here: https://www.lolaapp.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/derinkuyu...

There is/are video/s available and they are more than worth watching.

I can't remember how to spell the many other regional wonders, so won't try.

Edit: ignore anyone who comes along and tries to dismiss this particular example or the surrounding region as trivial, insignificant etc. Explore for yourself and be rewarded accordingly.

I'm wondering about the negative reactions to this post. It mystifies me and I don't know whether my fear was correct and there truly is hostility to this subject or it's that some of the readers here are too stupid to recognize my use of the word bedlam as complimentary and take self-righteous pleasure in fighting for some deranged precept of honor. I guess I'll never be certain, as those offended don't have the substance to express their reason.

But it does please me that I'm wise enough to treat this place as a den of reptiles. I am right about that much, often enough.

PS: Derinkuyu is amazing, reptiles or not. And so is Turkiye
