The daytime temperature in Cooper Pedy, central Australia, can be 125F and people stay there because they can mine opals. Go there for fire opals which many regard as the most beautiful of all.
I've never thought all that much of diamonds, etc but fire opals are fascinating. Cooper Pedy: Opal Capital of the World
The answer to the extreme heat at Cooper Pedy was to go underground and Lotho has questioned why anyone would want to be in a Rock City. In this case, there's the practical aspect of escaping the heat but they don't lack for comfort down there.
Some will be looking for spiritual comfort and, sure, Cooper Pedy can provide it in their underground church.
How about a visit to a museum:
Do you think you may need some books:
How about a place to crash after your long day:
In case that place was not to your liking, how about this one:
I must say, this looks just absolutely awful, doesn't it. I feel their suffering all the way from Australia.
Cooper Pedy is one example of many Rock Cities in the world with most of them in Europe and some of them are extremely old with the most ancient at 3000 - 2500 B.C. The really old ones were typically built as part of aqueduct systems and the size of them is astounding.
The Rock Cities in America seem only to be military since there's one under the Greenbrier Hotel somewhere in the Virginias for securing Congress and others in the event of a nuclear strike and there's also the Colorado command center which has since been retired. Another is the Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Facility but that one is in a questionable state due to a questionable Congress.
Note: Yucca Mountain is just one example of multiple expensive things Congress has built and subsequently abandoned, all the while blaming budgetary problems on the people.
The focus in this article is more toward the aesthetics of the underground lifestyle rather than the grandeur we see in many of the underground constructions. We want plenty of grandeur as well but we don't want to overlook why people want to be there in the first place. If it's not comfortable then people won't want to be there; it's no more complicated than that.
