    I read about this recently. The current population of Turks have nothing to do with its construction. Christians and Jews used it to hide from Arabs and the early Romans who were persecuting Christians. I can't find any info on who may have originally constructed it. I see Phrygians who looked Greek or Armenian. Not too sure.

    You know? To this day caucasians do not require the same amount of time in the sun as dark people to absorb all the vitamin uptake they need daily. Whites also have a lactose tolerance. If you stop to think about it, living underground for long periods of time could possibly cause loss of pigmentation in the skin. It is said white people originated from the places of all these underround cities. Could it be that both white skin, blue eyes and even a third thing freckles all originated here and was caused by this type of long term living?
    And without the sun for long periods of time a source of vitamins the sun used to provide would be needed hence eating dairy and milk products and today having a lactose tolerance? One has to wonder if the very environment that was created for living had to do with the lighter skin and if so it brings the entire story of the dates of aging of these places into question. Are scholars going to try to say it is all just coincidence that underground living conditions just happen to be where whites and blue eyes and all that go with it from the blond and red hair came from for origin?

    This underground city was made to protect themselves from giants.
    And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.”
    ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

    I got with the justification of Mr. Graham that this place firstly is far beyond 4000 years old, 9000 BCE to be precise, and it was built for the preparation of long catastrophic of flood that they knew they projected from the alignment of stars that the meteoroids would hit in the form of Serpent to the Earth as it was ice age period and flood will arise so as to be prepared they built it.

    Their own data says 90 to 100,000 years ago something happened in Eurasia, which is all of modern day Europe and Asia and it caused a serious vitamin D deficiency to the people of the north. The data details from the academics themselves even say they recognize it was likely an ice age but apparently they never thought those people were smart enough to seek long term shelter underground to survive that took them out of the sun being primitive hunter gatherers. Huge mistake of assumption there to believe primitive man only used already existing caves and didn't get busy once inside of one to expand it! Romania just found a huge underground city as impressive or more so than Derin Kuyu and more are found all the time in this same geographic area of this huge vitamin D deficiency.

    I'm open to other theories as to what triggered a once dark people to turn white! So before you attack me spit them out and lets here them! To this day white people do not need the same amount of sun exposure as a dark person would to get the same uptake of Vitamin D. Why? This can only be something that came about by a long term situation of little to no sun and that is their own data not mine. The body of all these people of all of Eurasia adapted from the Ainu in Japan to Iran to absorb Vit D in ten minutes time and uptake a full daily dose of vitamin D much quicker because they got very little sun so the body adapted to maximize that time in the sun and this is what used to take hours for uptake and still does for dark folk. What is your theory as to what caused this lack of sun and this adaptation in people of the north academics recognize as factual?

    So, if not all these underground refuge places in the same area that white people, blue and green eyes, blond and red and white hair and freckles all came then what triggered it!? You got nothing because I know what the data says and if you look it up the very data by the academics has them by the short and curly hairs here! Its not harder than adding up a simple equation go ahead! 2 plus 2 equals!? You'll figure it out. Actually the data already has figured it all out they just are not looking at it correctly and neither are you! It's just a matter of time before they have to put it all together.

    Have read a Persian ancient text that did
    tell the people they need to build city in
    the mountain or underground.
    It was a very old text inscript on mountain.
    You find weird stone houses in mountains.
    to inside very big stones around the black sea.
    There are indications on a older civilisation.
    The oldest text now pre date Sumerian
    and Egyptian texts.
    In my mind you had a civilisation with a
    center around a small sea that was before
    the flood of the black sea.
    They built these cities and caves for other
    reason than war.
    It was protection from above in my mind.
    Then a example is science now know that
    7200 years ago a astroid hit the ice sheet
    in northern Amerikas..
    That throw up so much ice that northern
    USA was covered with a 20 meter high..
    Ice debree field..
    That could have been a reason for their
    God to tell them to go underground ..
    And if a passage more resons for it.
    Think the caves and buildings around
    the black sea,, was made before the
    flood by the Bosbors opening.
    Think that happend about 5000 years
    ago and not 7200 years.

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.
