Description
The underground city of Derikuyu . Even with the tunnels enlarged for bulky modern tourists , it's cramped going much of the time , and impossible to capture in a photograph . One climbs through five levels of corridors , seeing rooms which were used as kitchens , bedrooms , schools , churches , and for all manner of other purposes for which they were used by months at a time by refugees from the villages up above in time of trouble . The gratings cover ancient airshafts . Smoke from their fires was routed through slanted tunnels to direct searchers away from their true location .

Digitization
Prof. Paul Brians created these photographs using an Olympus Camedia D-490ZOOM with available light, no tripod. A couple of dozen photos toward the end of the trip were made on Kodak disposable cameras. Paul Brians also provided captions and other descriptive information for the images that were cataloged and uploaded to the CONTENTdm server at the WSU Libraries.
