True story...
In late May of 1957, news had come that my Uncle Bill, the man who married my namesake & Aunt Ruth, had passed away in Anderson Indiana. My parents, who were somewhat delusional about my intelligence, decided to join my cousins, George, Betty, & Danny Lee on a road trip from Los Angeles, California to attend George's father's funeral, taking me out of the 4th grade 2 weeks before the end of the semester.

Derinkuyu underground complex, located in Turkish Cappadocia.

It was discovered accidentally when a man knocked down the wall of his basement. Upon arrival, the archaeologists revealed that the city was 18 stories deep and had everything necessary for underground life, including schools, chapels, and even stables.
Derinkuyu, the underground city of Turkey, is almost 3,000 years old, and once housed 20,000 people.
