City of Secrets

Underground cities are nothing new to our world. They have been around as a form of protection since Bronze Age. They were settlements in the Byzantine period, to protect the citizens from increasing invasions. Thelocal residents built underground cities for protection and religious purposes.

In Turkey, the Cappadocia area has many underground cities founded within. There are about 40 underground cities. Can you imagine the secrecy that had to take place during and after the building of the cities to prevent invaders from knowing they were there? It astounds me, every time I think of it. :o)

Bunny, you just blow me away with your fractal art and your well thought out words to go with them!! I just love this as I love all of your others. Yes, the secrecy of underground worlds is intriguing!! Awesome as always!!
PS I just got an antique jade ring at a thrift shop for $5.50. They made a mistake pricing it. I’ll have to take a picture of it, because it reminds me so much of your fractal art!!! :)))))
Bunny Clarke replied

I have picked many pieces of antique jewelery through the years. Some from pawn shops and some from estate sales. Many of them are well over 200 years old. That is a good idea to take pictures… hmmmm. ;o) Thank you Polly.
