Exploring Derinkuyu & Çatalhöyük | Ancient Turkey

[@HoofHearted88]

The fact Derinkuyu also has toilets in that maze system is just so cool. If it is indeed 10,000 years old and they had the technical know-how to build a sewage system... it's bonkers.

[@Ambassador_Gkar]

Plenty of other ancient sites also had sophisticated infrastructure. Like Petra's water reticulation system, that still works today: just no water/rainfall there, now. Also, a site that hasn't been definitively dated.

[@infinitumneo840]

You're very brave facing your claustrophobia down inside those deep, dark caves. My hat's off to you. I can only imagine how difficult it was for you. I like these ancient sites.

[@EDYN15]

So much going on in Turkey! I want to see it all! Thanks!

[@DillDough-dn4eb]

I think this was a fallout shelter that was built in response to the first part of the younger dryas, 12,900 years ago. And i also think the people who emerged from this are the ones who carved the figures into the T pillars. I think the T pillars themselves predate the younger dryas.

[@DillDough-dn4eb]

As such. T pillars are already built...cataclysm occurs 12,900 years ago. Survivors build this fallout shelter in response. 2nd cataclysm occurs 11,600 years ago. Those survivors and their ancestors have now lost functional knowledge of construction and it is they who carved the figures

[@paulschuckman6604]

Personally I think the survivors of the younger dryas are the people who buried Gobekli Tepe. It would explain why there are so many creation myths of first or new man being made out of mud/dirt/clay.

[@christinet638]

Yes. Thank you for going inside! It looks very scary and I would have felt anxious. You did great.

[@francispitts9440]

I not only enjoy your content and videos but I also enjoy your sense of humor and personality. You are special and have a way of conveying history in a relatable manner. I appreciate you.

[@bobbrown5529]

Turkey seems to be the hot spot for the history of man . What a stunning place , those caves and the pointy rocks puts an entire new look on apartments . Well done Johannah , I look forward to your next tour .

[@chaosoul-seanleeriggs369]

So amazing, quite a time to get to vicariously go on these journeys

[@_chuck_gus]

Such a fun trip full of new knowledge and amazing people! That Sufi Ned memory is forever burned in my brain 😂 Thanks for including my commentary!

[@FoundingStockNZ]

I had a dream last night that we met in Germany, woke up to find this video. Totally random I know, and spooky enough that I had to share 😅

[@DillDough-dn4eb]

Hell yes! Love your work ms. James.

[@gregbrown5473]

Thanks Johannah there is so much in Turkey ... have fun at the Cosmic Summit 🙂🤙

[@MarkTikasinghM.C.TIKAH-B]

Thank you Jahannah, I really wonder if there was an ancient world war and people had to live underground for a long time. Amazing video as always. Take care and keep safe
❤❤❤

[@Eye_Exist]

Hi Jahannah, your notificantions aren't showing. It means you are on the truth and they have acknowledged your work as a legitimate threat to their fiction writing 😉

[@mallorypiner4562]

There not showing for me either! I’ve had to look her new videos up! I have faith in her ❤

[@chancemathews7057]

You are LUCKY I have always wanted to go there. I find it so interesting that so much effort and intelligence went into building this and for what reason... It's like an ancient doomsday bunker/bunkers. It has more questions to it, then answers.

[@livingahumanlife2651]

Funny you should mention claustrophobia/panic attack... I've struggled with it for the last 10 years after something traumatic happened to me... The only thing that makes meaning to my life anymore is to travel the world and see all these ancient places you film... but I haven't been able to...because of my severe claustrophobia... I'm so scared of just being claustrophobic on the plane... let alone deep inside some ancient city in the mountain or inside one of the many pyramids.... but I guess because of people like you filming all of these amazing places my motivation is getting bigger for overcoming my fear... I really feel your experience of being claustrophobic!❤ Thanks for sharing!❤

[@dragasan]

It's a wondrous place! I live in Türkiye full time now. There's a great deal to see.

[@samyoungblood3740]

Omg Jahannah SO lucky!! Thank you for showing us…Love Love Love this!! Why did I have to be poor dam it lol!!! One day I will either visit this place or build a small replica in my back yard!! 😂😂😂

[@samyoungblood3740]

I’m so happy you got to visit this place despite you being Claustrophobic! I bet people who aren’t Claustrophobic would be in this place ❤

[@Dz-go3gu]

this is a dream of mine!! I *have* to visit Derinkuyu at some point in my life. Fascinating tour!

[@thomasratliff9278]

Wonderful video Jahannah, thank you. Considering your claustrophobia, this is an amazing video. I will always follow you for your personality, professional research, and colorful presentations. Big hugs

[@brandonox6927]

This was 1000% a fallout shelter and survival location for humans during the younger dryas event and the 1000 years of radiation that followed. That's why they have the special doors. Ancient cataclysmic fallout shelter.

[@Anyextee]

Nice video! We had so much fun on this tour! Derinkuyu is such a mysterious underground “city” in Turkey. Looking forward to returning this October for another Adept Expeditions tour!

[@plantpotpeople]

Thank you.

[@72ndHUMAN]

Only way to make it through an age where the surface isn't so hospitable

[@Eeyeore360]

Volcanic rocks seem to be nature's peak caps and top hats!

[@jakewadsworth22]

Congratulations on opening your shop! Can't wait to see Esoterica grow even more! The idea of having such a piece of history and preserving it for others to enjoy is all I wanna do

[@user-wf2xr8vm5p]

✌️👍 I enjoyed the video young lady.. myself I can't go to the Cosmic Summit.. but I will be looking forward to your video as long as everyone else's video that is there... please keep up all the good work..👍✌️

[@Ambassador_Gkar]

My belief is Derinkuyu is not only far older than mainstream dictates, but also that it was built over a number of cycles: not in one era of time.
As a believer in Earth's cataclysmic cycle, every ~12 000 years, these underground sites were built for post apocalyptic habitation.
One thing I was looking for, but could not see, was carbon on the ceilings. Not saying it wasn't there; just did not see any. How did the builders illuminate the work spaces. You saw how dark it could get, just metres away from a light source.

[@dracusmoon4822]

Thank you, Johannah, for another fascinating vid of your adventures, please keep them coming!

[@sadkeryasar9355]

Derinkuyu is my hometown

[@Loesi94]

Love how u talk with the doggos ❤😂

[@markd3250]

When watching you explore Derinkuyu, I was wondering where are the tailings for all that underground digging? That's an incredible amount of material to remove. Where did it go? When was the last time people lived there? If there were Hittite bones, did they just discover something that was already there? I don't think it's a coincidence that the oldest places of civilized occupation seem to center around the Mesopotamian Fertile Crescent, which is just south west of Mt. Ararat. When Noah and his family came down from the ark, that's where they went.
I also find it interesting that the majority of these ancient sites are heavily based on stone and/or digging in the earth. Was there a huge shortage of building materials for surface construction?
Great video! Thank you for showing us these fascinating places!

[@morgan97475]

Very interesting indeed. Keep these videos coming, JJ.

It doesn't come any simpler of an explanation about the real war against babylon.
I've recently found your channel and I like it so much!
Keep exploring, good people!
And Derinkuyu is close to Bulgaria, my country, full of wonders and megalithic sites.
Come visit, guys!
And Salute to the Komsho Guide, my neighbour! Such a cool lad!

[@Totallyking]

Great video.

[@jakewadsworth22]

Thank you for this Johanna! This video is amazing!

[@julianbrowne7026]

Bout time you back.

[@littleclay5875]

A video shot about Derinkuyu by someone who can't go in Derinkuyu .
Brilliant!

[@steburdekin]

Thank you for your work ✌️🍀🙏

[@danzephyr2797]

Ooh a Live stream, TY

[@arronfowler2338]

Just found your content, and it's amazing. Your able to educate whilst being funny and witty at the same time. Going to go through the whole lot of them.
Would love to see you do some content on my local stone circle - The Rollright Stones. It's such a beautiful location, but there aren't many decent videos on the history and mysteries surrounding it.
Dope stuff.

[@eric-wb7gj]

TY JJ 🙏🙏

[@HikeAroundandFindOut]

Yay Livestream!

[@tonydincorn4472]

Thanks Jo , you're fans appreciate you

[@stig]

09:39 I don't believe that mainstream explanation for one second.

[@maxthepupp]

I wanna go to Turkye and play with puppies!!!
and, ya know...learn stuff too I guess😁
Thank you JJ!

[@stephen3322]

What’s up y’all!!!

[@brentprice7063]

So very interesting to see how people had to live 2000 years ago

[@scaledsilver]

yooooo new drop, cant wait to watch

[@kennyfrew9994]

Well done kiddo ,must of been worth it it looks amazin

[@LSD-420]

I think I would be claustrophobic in there.

[@JJ-wd2mp]

oh i wasss

[@johncombs2798]

Thanks!

[@Widesmile]

It will make an amazing story starting with me getting in touch here & id be so happy for you to present the pictures as i know you will be blown away. Anyway heres hoping :)

[@FrozeMoments]

I’m claustrophobic…but LOVE Spelunking. 😂

[@floridaman4073]

Went a couple years back, absolutely amazing place. Tons of dogs running around there.

[@kilroy6765]

Amazing how similar the 10,ooo yr old structures are to the Indian tribes ancient homes in the American south west.. Cant remember the tribe but, the latter entry system is spot on! The underground cave city reminds me of that Hindu story where krishna held up the mountian and his whole town hid under it while the "storm gods" where destroying the surface with floods and what not.. I think its related. ❤

[@seanwheeler3116]

Amazing, civilization is much older than the history books tell us!

[@Twitch24]

I reckon the weird topped lava rock is an early warning system for earthquakes, where they would rattle and ring or fall to warn fok to get underground

[@GnosticInformant]

yoooo. I always wanted to go there

[@TheByteknight]

Did they carbon-14 the soot on the ceilings to get a better date? 20,000 people did use torches for lighting, right?

[@raukurawaihaha]

In my experience, when the experts tell you it's a "natural volcanic formation," they're hiding something.

[@stephburnett202]

The amount I’ve learned from this channel compared to how many years of school learning history was a complete waste of time really 😅

[@Tonk1e]

Destination fascinating

[@Kayessee]

Great place to play hide and seek.

[@claireelisabethjade]

you are the queen of facing your fears. hope you're proud bc this is really cool! and thank you for posting this, my favorite intrepid explorer 🫶

[@sidvicious7046]

Hi ✌️

[@briendraper4818]

I'm glad you didn't die! You're too cute and funny,

[@baldhead7705]

I have a whole new thought process about humans in the Stone age period.

[@Naeiou]

Am curious to know what they used for light in those underground caves? Would think with all that time spent underground they'd be vitamin D deficient? What an amazing place and story

[@chrispygalactic]

sure wish normal people could explore like these people. only for the people with means but sure enjoy watching.

[@beaucameron5110]

Your stunning Jahanna. Love your work on these vids with ancient sites as well as Ben from Uncharted X that mainstream cannot answer. Love the witty humour. Hopefully someone has snapped you up in marriage coz you would be a keeper. ❤

[@fennynough6962]

Hilarious the local explaination for the, [8 miles into the Earth this Megotroplis is]! Anything other, (then from surving a Woldwide megadisaster); is looking the other way as to how old, & how long ago this occured.

[@TheEyeOfTaurusAK]

So cool! I’d want to sneak away & see all the areas below that couldn’t be seen too. Did they say WHY only 10% is open? lemme guess “for safety reasons” 🙄 uh-huh….i bet for the right price it would be safe enough!
So I guess it’s safe to say you won’t be going cave spelunking anytime soon huh?

[@brentprice7063]

We, the human species, have such a nak for species amnesia, we have forgotten so much, and we just need to relearn what we have forgotten. Peace and love

[@pweddy1]

Ha!

[@Michael-gh2yn]

1600 BCE Roman soldiers?

[@LSD-420]

I'm no expert, but that date seems wrong.

[@middle-agedmacdonald2965]

I'd love to see you do a minute on Kill Tony, particularly if it were on ancient history.

[@shaolindreams]

Ancient Anatolia.

[@MichaelJohnson-jt5cu]

The underground city would be a good place to ride out a micro-nova event from the sun. The latest research has shown that every star will micro-nova when the galactic current sheet passes by which happens every 12,000 years.

[@JB-1138]

Goals:
To go there dressed as Elmer Fudd. With a friend dressed as Bugs Bunny.
"What's up doc?"

[@NathanLarin]

I have a theory about this place.I suspect there are many 3D micro-carvings or etchings on the walls of certain chambers,not visible with the current lighting.A single candle or oil lamp perhaps,was the original lighting.Depending on where the lighting was placed,different features may present themselves.(Light and shadow)

[@christinet638]

I think they were hiding from the weather not the Roman’s .

[@cschwad559]

Jahannah come visit the Sage Wall in Montana!

[@CrispyHistory1]

To construct this site took a King so concerned about a rising danger he ordered a doomsday bunker building. This should give us hope. They had time. At least some. I for one believe it to be because they saw the sun changing colour due to the nova event at the end of the last ice age. A bad omen. A sign the world as they knew it was about to end.

[@zephaniahmarion]

❤

[@caloyssk1]

💪🤓

[@rodneysolgonick7021]

Perhaps these structural designs were primarily for catastrophic events, including those on cyclic timescales.

[@offyrtrolley4604]

Strange I would of thought the pyramids would’ve been more clostrafobic 👍🌍👀🙏

[@paulschuckman6604]

Why does this sound so much like an underground vault just like what we would construct to survive a nuclear war or meteor impacts, even going as far as to connect with another nearby vault.

[@GenralWAV]

Have you ever checked out The Oera Linda?

[@jakemonster001]

I’m claustrophobic also. No way I could’ve been a miner in a past life. 😂

[@emmalewisart641]

How shallow am I lol....from the thumbnail, i thought you'd cut your lovely hair and thats why i initially clicked....anyhoo Derinkuyoo :D

[@mammutpreflood6993]

😍

[@leteciprasac3180]

2:14 wondering what is behind that wall

[@sephdm]

What if at the time the Western us Badlands were flooded at the end of the younger dryas what if Turkey was flooded to a lesser degree but enough that that's what covered gobektli tepe over?
I can't think of any reason they would have covered it up themselves.

[@ricktodd3808]

I believe the tunnels were built because the Sun gets angry.

[@Islander2112]

That's solidified ancient volcanic ash, not from lava, imo.

[@garya7893]

I love watching vid about history I always think about this one question though Was there a time when people did not have to fear other people I turned 60 the other and am so tired of the hate in this world.

[@aaronharthun3602]

😎❤️✌️🍿

[@Twitch24]

So how was it lit? Not seeing lots of soot staining
