• Explore the most historically dense region of ancient Turkey: Cappadocia.

• Uncover ancient buried secrets with host Don Wildman.

This is the stuff of fantasy: exploring secret chambers and forbidden passages beneath city streets, unlocking mysteries of the past and discovering forgotten relics.

This is CITIES OF THE UNDERWORLD. In metropolises around the world today, skyscrapers loom overhead, traffic blares and vendors hawk their wares. But below hide city upon city, each with its fascinating and unknown history. With infectious enthusiasm and runaway curiosity, and aided by instructive computer animations and maps, host Don Wildman explores these layers - often hundreds of feet down - to transport you underground and back in time. Check your batteries, it's dark down there!

The legendary region of Cappadocia, now part of modern-day Turkey, is one of the most storied and evocative places in the world. Neither East nor West, this Silk Road corridor was home to successive pagan societies - Hittites, Romans, Persians, Byzantines, Ottomans - all of which left their distinctive mark on the area.

Journey with Don Wildman to this amazing place to search for evidence of these ancient civilizations among the region's unearthly natural stone formations. Plumb the depths of ancient vertical cities, hundreds of feet below ground, organized like modern apartment buildings. Explore subterranean churches, fortifications, dungeons and even livestock pens. And see for the first time on television an ancient Silk Road inn hewn from the living rock.

The SECRET PAGAN UNDERGROUND will amaze and delight you.
