Can you imagane living in a city under the ground? Well today in Cappadocia, our guide led us to where the Hittites used to live under the ground while their fight agenst the Romans. Hundreds of years ago, the Hittites had built an underground city made to hide themselves from their enamies. While exploring this anciant underground city, we saw what they used for a kitchen, how they made the stables for the animals, what they used for a toilet, and saw all their defence forces they used underground. For defending their city, they used large rocks in the shap of a circle with a hole in the middle. What they would do is roll the fiew hundred pound rock infront of an entrance way so the enamies couldn't get in. The hole in the middle was for poring boiling oil into the attackers on the other side. Living inside this city was a population beetween one thousand and five thousand people. Now that, is alot of people.Then again, after exploring the city for one hole hour, our tour guide said that we had only seen ten percent of it. Now theirs a wow!
