Derinkuyu 2500 old Underground City & Ancient Indian (Phrygians)
Derinkuyu is a 2500-year-old multi-level underground city in Turkey, extending
to a depth of approximately 85 meters. It is believed to have been built by the
Phrygians, an ancient Indo-European people, around the VIII to VII centuries
BCE. The city was later expanded by the Persians, Romans, and Christians, who
used it as a refuge during times of war and persecution. Also, The Phrygians,
perhaps of Thracian (Ancient Indian Offshoot) origin, settled in northwestern
Anatolia late in the 2nd millennium. Upon the disintegration of the Hittite
(Indian) kingdom they moved into the central highlands, founding their capital
at Gordium and an important religious center at “Midas City” (modern Yazılıkaya,
Tur.). This theory posits that these underground cities would have been created
at the same time as Göbekli Tepe just 600 kilometers (370 mi) to the east of
Derinkuyu. Thracian Orpheus was an enlightened teacher who received his
knowledge in Egypt and the East (Persia, INDIA). According to the classical
Greek version, Orpheus was a kind of combination of King, Priest, musician and
teacher of wisdom.
The relationship between the Phrygians (an ancient Iron Age civilization of Anatolia, modern Turkey) and Ancient India is a subject explored primarily through the lenses of comparative linguistics, mythology, and historical migrations within the broader Indo-European framework.
One of the most intriguing cross-cultural theories connects the ethnonym of the Phrygians (originally called Bryges or Phryges in Greek sources) with the prominent Vedic clan of the Bhrigus (Bhargavas) in India.
In the Rigveda, the Sage Bhrigu and his descendants are celebrated as the priests who first discovered or brought fire down to mankind. Linguists and historians like D.D. Kosambi have suggested that the root of Bhrigu matches the Proto-Indo-European root for "to burn" or "cook" (*bherəg-), which directly correlates to the etymology of the Phrygian (Phryges) name.
Some comparative mythologists hypothesize that the Phrygians and the Vedic Bhrigus may have shared a common ancestral pastoral tribe or religious cult of "fire-priests" before migrating to their respective historical homelands (Anatolia and northern India).
