The city was discovered beneath an old portion of Nevsihir where the state housing development
agency was hoping to build a new housing project.
"We stopped the construction we were planning to do on these areas when an underground city
was discovered," Mehmet Ergün Turan, the head of the state housing development agency told
Turkish newspaper Hurriyet Daily News, which reported that the new discovery is the largest that
they have found in the region to date.
The city is believed to date back 5,000 years, though little else is known as researchers are likely
going to launch into their analysis in the coming months.

You do not have to discover trash on Mars, we have several satellites and a couple of derelict
observation vehicles of varying sizes and shapes there already, the people who sent them there know
exactly where they are, so discovering them would be as simple as a few people "Where did your
rover run out of power at?" Or "Where did your satellite crash?" To date, we have failed in more
attempts to survey Mars than we have succeeded, obviously, our failures are littering that planet
already.
Also, like HMCM222 was kind enough to point out, Curiosity itself will eventually be trash on the
surface of Mars, its power supply will eventually run out and it will become a hunk of garbage like the
rest of them.

Instead of a beer can or a scrap of paper at a time the us government trashes it a billion
dollars at a time. Just think of all the kids that could have been fed or educated or the amount
taxes could have been reduced to help all of us live better.

Our kids are offered an education. Throwing more money hasn't helped yet. It has to be
more to it than money. If your home is not conducive to learning, you have a big
disadvantage; if you allow disruptive students to hinder the learning of other students
you are at a disadvantage. Schools should teach you the fundamentals. A student can
not learn when the bully is allowed to disruptive the class. As to home life, one can not
change one's parents. If the parents are strung out on drugs or don't have an
education, U can expect the child to learn from them. We are all conditioned. While in
school, every student, regardless of income, should get a free meal. You can not learn
when you are hungry.

Housing and Urban Development is spending over $42 Billion this year and has spent
over $10 Billion/Yr since 1970 and look what we have to show for it.
education. Billions spent and wasted due to the breakdown in the home and society
with little to show for it. There are some success stories but not many compared to the
failures.
The monies spent for space exporation has brought our country more good than what
has been spent on the habitually unemployed all across our nation.

You need to re-read Alvin Lee's lyrics. He's talking about over taxing the rich until we
are all poor.
The Chorus: I'd love to change the world but I don't know what to do, so I leave it up to
you.
Oh Yeah! Then a great guitar solo.

I don't understand the idea that MONEY is thrown away in the space program.
money is spent buying materials that are made by scientists, craftsmen and all their
supporting staff, including janitors and toilet paper makers. And every person paid and
every item bought supports the people who grow food, make cars, TV sets, and so on.
It's called the ECONOMY. Money hoarded by people who have so much of it and
greedily suck up as much more as they can are what is killing this country.
When there is exactly $1.38 available to the 99% of the country that isn't rich, the
almighty dollar will be dead and worthless. The economy works by spending money.
That is the investment the people must make. Not by giving it away or by hording it like
it was the elixir of life.

In this case ISH (only due to being about 1,500 miles closer) is more likely.

So, what makes this an "underground city" as opposed to "a shallow cave with chambers"?

The worked chambers by human hands means they stayed there for a while and also the soot on the roof

looks pretty thick. Once people work the stone it shows permanence and population. That's my opinion.
Check out Walnut Canyon NM in Flagstaff AZ. The people there were only there for 150 years or so. Similar
concept of shelter.
