First world map was drawn by Piri Reis who was the senior sailor of Ottoman navy. It wasn’t an ordinary map because it has some points to find out on it. Thus many researches are being made on this map.
Piri Reis prepared this map in 1513. That was the period when western sailing developed. New world (American continent) had just discovered and many new islands on oceans were dominated by western sailors. Despite of those developments, they weren’t ready to prepare a world map.
Ottoman Empire charged Piri Reis to make a development against this position. He was the expert on sailing. He prepared this map in four years and he came up before Ottoman Sultan in 1513.

We know that Cappadocia has many mysteries under the ground. Underground cities of Cappadocia are so huge that even today a few parts of those ones are open to visit or unearthed. They are also so deep that we could unearth nearly half of them.
Derinkuyu underground city which is one of them has so great feature that it may shock you. The depths of the undergound city was used as mental hospitals. Absolutely they are the oldest mental hospitals of the world. Sick people were put in the rooms and probably they were left for death. It is terrifying. Today we can go down around 3 km. depth of the underground city but it is deeper than it.
A community was living in this underground city (it is guessed that there are more than 100 underground cities under Cappadocia). So we can see everything on social life of this community in this structure. Kitchens, rooms for sleep and toilet levels are the outstanding features. The passages are so tiny that only one person can move in.
