Hidden Maps & Buried Cities: Tartaria, Derinkuyu, and the Global Underground Network?

Are we missing a massive chapter of human history? In this episode, we follow old-world maps (Library of Congress, 16th century cartography), trace the appearance of “Tartaria,” and descend into Turkey’s Derinkuyu—an 18-level underground city said to connect with hundreds of subterranean sites across Cappadocia. We examine claims about multi-layer tunnels beneath modern cities, why so many archives and artifacts went “missing,” and whether our timelines—and technologies—have been selectively edited.

What you’ll see:
• 1583 world map anomalies: Tartaria, “Mu/Lemuria,” and shaded polar land
• World’s fairs vs. “old world” architecture timelines
• Derinkuyu deep-dive: ventilation shafts, water access, multi-level design
• Global tunnel networks: who built them, how, and why?
• Critical thinking checklist: how to spot narrative gaps without jumping to conclusions
