A man knocked down a wall in his basement. He found an abandoned underground city that was once home to 20,000 people.

Derinkuyu is a subterranean city in Turkey stretching 280 feet below the Earth's surface.

The ancient city was used for centuries before it was abandoned in the 1920s.

A local man rediscovered it in 1963 when he went looking for his lost chickens behind a wall.

I think every home should have a nice man cave in the basement.
