Deferse Precaution in the Underground Cities

In the Ozkonak Underground Settlement, unlike the other ones, above the tunnels, next to the milstone, small vertical holes were hollowed out to pour hot oil on their enemies or to spear them. Another deferse precaution in the underground settlements were long and narrow tunnels with traps, from 2-3 m indepths, designated to capture the enemies.

The oldest floors of the underground settlements are generally the ground floors. They were ususally used as stables, due to the fact that it was difficult to take the animals to the lower flors. On the lower part of the stable walls were unevenly hollowed out pits in which to put fodder for the animals, and holes to tie them.
