Yerkapı Tunnel Boğazkale is a 70-meter-long tunnel that passes under the Yerkapı Walls in Hattusa, the capital of the Hittite Empire in the Late Bronze Age of Türkiye. 

These tunnels are still standing and intact after 3,000 years. Why could these tunnels, whose construction dates back to the Hattian period, have been built? 

There are also serious signs that these tunnels are not just what is seen. What motivated people to build these tunnels?

 Was it wild animals or the fear of an attack by a foreign element, a foreign tribe, especially the Kaskas?

 Perhaps they were hiding from the "sea peoples" that invaded and brought about the bronze age collapse. Currently reffered to as Palestinians. I noticed that whenever mainstream science can't explain an ancient monument or artifact, the go to explanation is "used for religious purposes". I don't suppose there is an altar at the end of the tunnel?

 Not sure about that. There is no mention here about religious purposes. The tunnel is still a mystery and there is no conclusive evidence to confirm its purpose. It is left to conjecture or speculation it seems.
