(Hidden Beneath the Cities: Season 1: Underground Cities and Secret Chambers) History “Hidden Beneath the Cities” uncovers the extraordinary worlds lying just below modern urban centers. Beneath the streets of stone, soil and concrete exist hidden realms shaped by survival, ritual and imagination. Episodes reveal Malta’s Hal Saflieni Hypogeum, with its 5,000-year-old burial chambers; Turkey’s vast caves in Midyat, which sheltered whole communities; and Iran’s qanats, which sustain desert life. From Naples’ folklore tombs and WWII shelters to England’s mysterious Royston Cave and Poland’s Wieliczka Salt Mine, the series blends myth, history and artistry. Other journeys explore Israel’s Cave of Letters, Denmark’s Neolithic dwellings, Cold War bunkers in England and Seoul, and more. Each story reveals ingenuity, resilience and mystery, proving every city conceals a hidden world waiting to be discovered. In Midyat, Turkey, archaeologists uncover the vast underground city of Matiate, stretching across tunnels and chambers carved thousands of years ago. Evidence of churches, synagogues and Roman coins suggests it was once a refuge for people fleeing religious persecution. In Royston, England, workmen stumble upon a mysterious chalk-carved chamber filled with intricate religious carvings. Beneath Orvieto, Italy, a wine cellar excavation reveals Cavità 254, a striking Etruscan subterranean complex. Once a quarry or water system, its deliberate infilling with pottery and bones hints at ritual or symbolic burial practices. Finally, in Abarkuh, Iran, archaeologists map a massive subterranean tunnel network. Likely part of an ancient qanat water system, exemplifying Persian ingenuity, it used engineering to survive drought, war and desert heat. (Canada)
