Archeology 201 Guidelines
If Indiana Jones happened to be a member of Tweb, this is where he'd hang out.
Welcome to the Archeology forum. Were you out doing some gardening and dug up a relic from the distant past? would you like to know more about Ancient Egypt? Did you think Memphis was actually a city in Tennessee?
Well, for the answers to those and other burning questions you've found the right digs.
Our forum rules apply here too, if you haven't read them now is the time.

Huge underground city found in Southeastern Turkey

More context here. The above-ground city was established circa 900 BCE. Apparently only an estimated 3% of the underground city has been excavated, and the artifacts recovered have been from the 2nd and 3rd centuries CE - meaning that it was abandoned after that. Tarkan's assertion that it has been used uninterruptedly for 1900 years doesn't seem to comport with the evidence. I'm also not sure that his subsequent quote in the OP is generally accepted either, but it correlates with the lack of use once Christianity became officially tolerated; it would also mean that Christianity was rather more common than has been thought.
Here is the link to the original story in the Daily Sabah.Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

I recommend you do not try too hard and ...research as little as possible. Such weighty things give me a headache. - Shunyadragon, Baha'i apologist
