The world’s oldest temple? A zoo? Something different we have no reference for? A huge article and photography spread appeared in National Geographic recently.
I haven’t made up my mind about it yet.
And Other American PyramidsAlthough archeologists are dating the Cohokia Mounds at around 1000-1200 AD, the template would have been formed much earlier.
Questions would be, how and why a city housing over 20,000 people would be built and then all the inhabitants just disappear? Of course, if the Norse really did come much earlier than Columbus, maybe they brought some other diseases that caused an epidemic?
Did the Western Hemisphere lose the knowledge of how the Pyramids generated and broadcast power, but remembered how to build the structure and still believed it to be a way of ‘having’ power?

Derinkuyu Underground City is an ancient multi-level underground city in the Derinkuyu district in Nevşehir Province, Turkey. With its eleven floors extending to a depth of approximately 85 m, it was large enough to shelter tens of thousands of people together with their livestock and food stores. It is the largest excavated underground city in Turkey and is part of a network of several underground complexes found across Cappadocia.
It was opened to visitors in 1969 and to date, only ten percent of the underground city is accessible to tourists.
