Those aren’t chickens, they’re poultrigeist

It was obviously built by giant ants.

modern day builders: sorry folks this project is gonna take a while. medieval Builders: alright lets go build that underground city.

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.

I've been watching your videos since middle school , I'm 23 now and I still watch these videos faithfully . Thank you for staying consistent through the years . 🤘🏼

Should I ever misplace my poultry, I now know where to look! Thank you for the knowledge Thoughty2!

"Roughly chicken shaped hole."😂 Pecking hilarious.🐔

I haven't seen so many rock-hard fairy chimneys in one place since my College years.

At the start, I was half expecting the man to find a chicken disco behind the wall.

I literally seached this because I was wondering "is he gonna upload, he didn't last week so there must be something now" then I saw this video with "40secs ago"😭😂

06:00 _... insane rock formations that look exactly like ..._ ... asparagus.

Thoughty2: Why build an underground city in the first place My stupid mind: Dragons?

I could see the government coming to the man and asking him, "Do you have a permit for this?"

TLDR: Investigate chicken-shaped basement holes

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.

here before the inevitable name change. name before: what happened after we unearthed this strange underground city?

Well worth the wait! I love these historical mystery type videos🙏

Go there, stay in a cave hotel, visit the tunnel cities, and take one of the balloon rides. We did and it was amazing!

First time seeing Thoughty2 without his iconic stache

Keep up the good work. A big thanks to all of your team.❤

Another great video. Thanks. Love them sometimes i rewatch them. Who doesn't? Informative, funny, and just a pleasant surprise to see when they come out. Great job, and keep up the great work.

6:04 DUDE LOL That almost silent "uwu" almost killed me hahahahaha

If you're gonna build a panic room that deep, be sure to watch out for the balrogs.

Can you imagine living in those caves with all the burning torches and candles. The soot, smoke, must have been staggering, regardless of ventilation.

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.

Arran this was awesome 👍🏻 you’re such a fantastic story teller and I’ve yet to find an episode that I didn’t enjoy or find fascinating - thank you again xxx

Brilliantly done!! Great piece …

Hello from Belgium Sir! Great video als always :D

A recurring dream of mine is discovering a hidden room in my tiny NYC apartment….

As usual, great story telling.

Thanks for researching!

The history of Daren kuyu is quite fascinating and mind-blowing. Love the way you connected history, geography and human behavior to explain the existence and purpose of the city. It made the story much more immersive.

You, sir, are a great storyteller! Thanks for that!

Was waiting all day and two weeks

Love you man. Great show !

Thank You, for another, utterly entertaining video, and yet, likewise, lesson in "Queens English". Always a pleasure. And by the way, wonder how many perceived up with, "Thanks for the fish" ending, in that video. Don`t forget the towel. from a Finn in Diaspora

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.

Sounds like a Rimworld mountain base. I hope no one ate without a table.

Hooray! Finally Arran is talking about the place which I have actually visited. So cool to remember it all again. A pretty impressive underground location indeed.

Fascinating! If I was going to dig here I'd only find salty water. I live near the beach. 😬

love your content, top draw stuff!

Woah! History never fails to amaze me! Imagine exploring all those underground cities! Wish I could have been there in their hay days!

Hey Thoughty2! You should make a video on the Kailasa temple in Maharashtra, India. It’s construction and artistic process is something truly intriguing, you’ll have a great time researching it :)

Thank you! Fascinating

That was super cool!! Thank You 🎉🎉🎉

❤❤❤ Thank you, Thoughty2!!

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.

Hey hey, another great Vid, cheers and have a grand ole time

Leave it to Thoughty2 to find a solution to the mystery of Derinkuyu! Now we can all go down town.

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 👍 👍👍

Thanks! I had only heard the fellow was doing "home renovations" nothing involving lost poultry and I had wondered why there wasn't some oldster in the Cappadocia town going, see I told you!

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!

"reorganizing" is modern for genociding

Dude, if I over this guy, I would never ever tell anybody about it. That city would be mine. As far as I’m concerned, the world can have it when I pass away.

Your English and voice are perfect 👍. I am one of your biggest fans and this channel is my favorite. Thank you 😊

ya gotta love the bane reference. sensational

WOW! Turkey was never a place I wished to go, too touristy for my taste. But THIS changes my mind!

Hehe I was there in the underground city in 2017 summer and surely it was much cooler than outside I even got cold down there, funny enough it was 45C outside so it was a relief in there, also ye they even bred and kept animals in there and surely the passages are single file only also very short for someone who is 6ft1 i had to bend down to walk through

I have never heard of this! 😮❤

You always have such good transitions into your sponsorship. It's seemless every time

Maybe a nice add on to the story; as mentioned 'maybe as old as the younger dryas impact' maybe these shelters where build to hide/live in while earth passes taurid meteor stream

Always learning something new from watching your videos.

How funny, i've just visited the underground city of Derinkuyu the day this was uploaded. What a coincidence

It was probably built to escape and survive global cataclysms. It's probably a lot older than archeologists acknowledge too.

These always make me feel a lil more curious xD

Wow! What a great video!

Loved the dark knight rises reference 👌

Every single day I’ve watched for ages I had to take a week off lol some of these get morbid lol. This is a good one to come back to hottie2 😂❤ thanks for the constant company and mild stress and shock lolllll 😅

lol the way you described it at the very beginning just made me think of a chicken shaped hole to access an underground chicken city lol

0:21 Cody'sLab moment

I'm surprised that none of the invading forces ever tried to flood the place. The underground dwellers would've been caught like lemmings.

Fantastic storyteller!

And here I was told that NO civilization in history has ever considered chief hydrological engineer a “calling.”

Growing up in Australia I have never heard of any of these places besides Turkey as a country but it looks interesting.

I liked the way he slipped that Bane line in there 😂

*ABSOLUTELY MIND-BLOWING! ABSOLUTE LOVE FROM MANILA, PHILIPPINES! KEEP IT UP THOUGHTY2!* ❤❤❤

My favourite history teacher has returned ❤

Armored Skeptics video on this is also very good ^^

I appreciate him putting that "#AD" in the top right corner.

WOOT! Good one!

The chickens were just returning to the home they ruled as kings in days of old😄

Fascinating.

Right on!

OMG! Did he find his chickens?! Were they alright? Graham Hancock made some great connections to Derinkuyu with texts from the Annunaki and the Noachian flood. Both give similar instructions . What was to be separated and preserved...animals, food. Also what people. It's an amazing account in both cases. The Annunaki account is more detailed.

I knew what it was from the title alone. I seriously want to go there one day.

"School of hard knocks!" 😂😅 Also, unfortunately it's true when elderly people talk about something they went through or lived through, this young generation think they are hallucinating!

Great video.

Entering this cave with face pareidolia must have been a real terror seeing faces every corner yet seeing no one the thrill that may have caused those poor soldiers

What texture pack did they use?

Thanks Thoughty2 😉

9:23 Bane42? lol

"Harder rock" 😂😂

Only 2 questions. Why are people not using ground penetration radar to find what is hidden? And 2nd, why did the person who found it, tell about it. He had unlimited storage/basement for use.

I thought it was someone making their basement larger, and while digging, a hole appeared. This is the first time I heard a chicken 🐔 was apart of it. Keep up the good videos

O k excellent video thanks

The rock formations looks just like giant spears of white asparagus, of course.

As always very cool and informative, but what's up with the bi-weekly delays?

Would like to see that location one day.

Any links you could send me about the underground city in Turkey would be welcome. I had no idea they were that extensive until I watched 'Ancient Apocalypse' by what's-his-name. The columnar basalt structure mentioned in that show also is interesting in using that material as building material would be an adventure in logistics. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Don’t put chairs and tables in the underground city!!! To have furniture they just needed to NOT carve out parts of the rock and instead leave parts of their living room sticking out… in the shape of wanted furniture and voila! And it even stays in condition for longer so you can use your ancestors ^^ I was there last week and visited the 2 cities of more than 200 that are open to the public..
