The accidental discovery of an ancient underground city in Nevsehir revealed a complex three-story metropolis featuring tunnels, residences, places of worship, and more. Notably, some sections of the city were found to be flooded, potentially explaining the region's flooding issues. Among the artifacts uncovered, anthropologists identified a small figurine found in one of the rooms, believed to symbolize the ancient inhabitants of this long-lost sanctuary.
