I guess it is boredom sort of, and testing the waters to see what people here like to talk about. The Metal band Disturbed thread did okay...
This particular one was prompted by an article about the Yacht Liner with apartments for $11 Million each. And thinking what a different world some people live in where they spend $11M on an apartment they might use a couple times a year - maybe.

Actually, the whole thread is political and class warfare. But nothing new---google "Derinkuyu"
But to whet your appetite:
"The underground city of Derinkuyu, even though located under the surface, was connected with the world. This ancient city was connected to other underground settlements through a series of tunnels.
Underground Derinkuyu was a fully working community; having specific sections underground such as shops, communal rooms, wells, tombs, arsenals, apartments, religious buildings and escape routes. People living in underground Derinkuyu had everything they needed to live life properly.
Underground Derinkuyu is believed to have been capable of offering proper living conditions to around 50,000 people."
No one knows for sure who built it, how, or when, and we would have trouble building today with our modern technology, if we could at all. And interestingly, one of the theories on WHY it was built was "climate change"
