Where is a complex network of ancient underground cities found?

Retry Correct Incorrect According to the History Channel, Turkey’s Cappadocia region is home to multiple underground cities built during the 8th Century BCE, likely by either the Hittites or the Phrygians. The largest of these cities was Derinkuyu, a self-contained and sophisticated metropolis that could have sustained about 20,000 ancient people. The Cappadocia caves were likely constructed as a secret shelter to deter invasion and the elements. It was accidentally discovered in the 1960s by a man trying to renovate his home.
