The Underground City!
Kariz, Iran is a city built completely underground! The Kish Qanat is 2,500 years old, and only until recently was it converted into an underground community. The city is 16 meters below the surface and is 10,000 square miles! Before the city(As I said), it was the Kish Qanat, one of Iran’s water systems. The system brought water from the mountains through an aquifer, which emerged into an oasis, into a series of tunnels. These tunnels were seven kilometers long, and slightly horizontal. The Kish Qanat is considered to be one of the oldest human built water systems in the world, and some systems like it are still used in Iran today!

I think that living under ground would be cool. But it would be bad as well,you wouldn't get any sun light and you wouldn't be able to grow food, and the water would not be very clean leading down into an oasis. Over all i think that it would be a cool place to visit but for a short period of time. would you want to live there
