(ABC News) The discovery of a previously unknown ancient city came as a late Christmas present for archaeologists in Turkey when they made a major find on Dec. 28.
A series of ruins that contain buildings, hidden churches and water channels was found in the Turkish town of Nevsehir, which is known for 'fairy chimney' rock formations.
The city was discovered beneath an old portion of Nevsihir where the state housing development agency was hoping to build a new housing project.
