          Notes  
          One can imagine this cavern filled with turkish carpets, torches and people living in community. The underground cities in Cappadocic were mostly used by Christians. Invaders found only uninhabited villages when the citizens went underground for months. Not only did the cities have sleeping chambers, kitchens, sewage and air shafts, they provided for food storage, wine making, animal stables -even places for newlyweds, children, cemeteries and meetings. Some could house 20,000 inhabitants.
