(Hidden Beneath the Cities: Season 1: Tunnels and Tombs) Historie “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 Florida, construction workers uncover a brick-lined tunnel system beneath a historic neighborhood. Once dismissed as myth, these passages may have begun as early stormwater and sewage channels, but legends tie them to bootleggers and mobsters who thrived during the Prohibition era. In Italy, the Hypogeum of Cristallini Street opens a window into Hellenistic-era burial practices. Hidden beneath a 19th-century palace, this complex of painted tombs reveals a world of elite Greek families. In Iran, a man digging a well uncovers a sprawling three-story underground city. Built during the Sasanian Empire, it likely served as a defensive refuge from invaders. Finally, beneath Rome’s Caelian Hill, subway construction exposed a second-century CE military barracks and luxury villa, possibly the praetorium of a Roman commander. MN 12 (Canada)
