This material does not claim to be one hundred percent scientific accuracy. One can not agree with the dates that the author attributes the intercontinental tunnels to many millions of years ago, some of the described cases are clearly misleading, however a large number of evidence and found fragments of tunnels eloquently refutes official history our planet...

Life jacket from the Indian Ocean in the suburbs

The year 2003 in the Moscow region (near Solnechnogorsk) was marked by a mysterious event. In Lake Bezdonnoye, the driver of the Vereshenskaya rural administration, Vladimir Saichenko, found a regular US Navy life jacket with an identification inscription confirming that this property belongs to sailor Sam Belovsky from the destroyer Cowell, which was blown up by terrorists on October 12, 2000 in the port of Aden. 4 sailors were tragically killed, and 10 were missing, including Sam Belovsky. Maybe the information is erroneous and there is no riddle?

As a result of an interview with direct witnesses and participants in the described event, it was found out that the life jacket was indeed found and the inscriptions on it directly point to the sailor of the Cowell S. Belovsky.

But how could a life jacket from the Indian Ocean get into a lake lost in the expanses of Central Russia, having covered 4,000 km in a straight line in three years? What was his path? Hence; there are some underground ways unknown to us, tunnels, apparently connecting rather repressed parts of the Earth's continents. But by whom and when they were created, and for what?

Identification of ancient tunnels

It has been repeatedly noted by various researchers on different continents that in addition to subway tunnels, bunkers, mines, and other various caves created by nature, there are underground cavities created by civilizations that preceded the human one. The latter exist not only in the form of gigantic underground halls, the walls of which are processed by mechanisms unknown to us, with traces of secondary natural processes (incrustations, stalactites, stalagmites, cracks, etc.), but also in the form of linear structures - tunnels. The beginning of the 21st century is marked by an increase in the frequency of finding fragments of these tunnels on different continents.

The identification of ancient tunnels is not an easy task, requiring comprehensive knowledge about the technique of underground work, the mechanisms of transformation of the earth's crust and underground spaces in the course of the historical development of our planet. But this procedure is quite real, given; that the main difference between ancient tunnels and natural and modern underground objects is that, oddly enough, ancient objects are distinguished by the perfection and amazing accuracy of processing the walls of the cavities (as a rule, they are melted), ideal directionality and orientation. They are also distinguished by their enormous, cyclopean size and ... antiquity beyond human understanding. But it cannot be said that they all appeared at the same time. Consider the available real information about ancient tunnels and workings.

Crimea

In the Crimea, the Marble Cave is well known, located within mountain range Chatyr-Dag at an altitude of 900 m above sea level. When descending into the cave, numerous visitors are greeted by a huge hall in the form of a pipe about 20 meters in size, currently half filled with boulders that collapsed due to numerous earthquakes, and flooded with karst deposits. Stalactites hang down through the cracks in the vault, and stalagmites stretch towards them, making a mesmerizing impression. Few people pay attention to the fact that initially it was a tunnel with perfectly even walls, going deep into the mountain range with a slope towards the sea.

The walls are well preserved and do not have traces of erosional activity: flowing waters - karst caverns, formed as a result of the dissolution of limestone. That is, in front of us is a part of the tunnel leading to nowhere and starting at an altitude of about 1 km from the level of the Black Sea. Given that the Black Sea basin was formed at the turn of the Eocene and Oligocene (about 30 million years ago) as a result of the fall of a large asteroid that cut and destroyed the main ridge Crimean mountains, it is reasonable to assume that marble cave is a fragment of an ancient tunnel, the main part of which was located in a mountain range destroyed by an asteroid, which has an age of at least 30 million years.

As follows from the latest reports of Crimean speleologists, a huge cavity was discovered under the Ai-Petri massif, picturesquely hanging over Alupka and Simeiz. In addition, tunnels connecting the Crimea and the Caucasus were discovered.

Ufologists of the Caucasus region during one of the expeditions determined that under the Uvarov ridge, opposite Mount Arus, there are tunnels, one of which leads towards Crimean peninsula, and the other through the cities of Krasnodar, Yeysk and Rostov-on-Don stretches to the Volga region. In the region of Krasnodar, a branch to the Caspian Sea is fixed. Unfortunately, the participants of the expedition did not provide more detailed information.

Medveditskaya ridge

And in the Volga region, there is the notorious Medveditskaya ridge, which has been surveyed in sufficient detail by expeditions of Kosmopoisk since 1997. An extensive network of tunnels, surveyed for tens of kilometers, has been discovered and mapped. The tunnels have a circular section, sometimes oval, with a diameter of 7 to 20 m, maintaining a constant width along the entire length, and a direction at a depth of 6–30 m from the surface. As you approach the hill on the Medveditskaya ridge, the diameter of the tunnels increases from 22 to 35 meters, further - 80 m and already on the very hill the diameter of the cavities reaches 120 m, turning under the mountain, and a huge hall. Three seven-meter tunnels leave from here at different angles.

Scheme of the tunnels of the Medveditskaya ridge, compiled by Vadim Chernobrov, Kosmopoisk

Some believe that the tunnels are still active and are used as transport arteries and bases by UFO vehicles, although the latter are not necessarily their builders. It is not surprising that P. Mironichenko in the book “The Legend of the LSP” believes that our entire country, including Crimea, Altai, the Urals, Siberia and Far East pierced by tunnels. It remains only to find their location. And most of the time it happens by accident.

So, a resident of the Liskinsky village of Selyavnoye, Voronezh Region, Yevgeny Chesnokov, fell into a hole in a meadow, which turned out to be a cave with tunnels diverging in different directions, on the walls of which symbols were depicted.

Caucasus

In the Caucasus, in the gorge near Gelendzhik, a vertical mine has been known for a long time - straight as an arrow, with a diameter of about one and a half meters, a depth of more than 100 m. In addition, its feature is smooth, as if melted walls. The study of their properties showed that the walls were subjected to simultaneous thermal and mechanical effects, which created a crust in the rock with a thickness of 1–1.5 mm, giving it extremely strong properties that cannot be created even with the current development of technology, and the melting of the walls testifies to its technogenic origin. In addition, an intense radiation background was noted in the mine. It is possible that this is one of the vertical shafts, connecting with a horizontal tunnel going from this area to the Volga region, to the Medveditskaya ridge.

Tatar Strait

known; that in the post-war years (in 1950) a secret decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR was issued on the construction of a tunnel through the Tatar Strait in order to connect the mainland by rail with about. Sakhalin. Over time, the secrecy was removed, and Doctor of Physical and Mechanical Sciences L. S. Berman, who worked there at that time, told in 1991 in her memoirs the Voronezh branch of Memorial that the builders were not so much building, but restoring the already existing tunnel laid in of extreme antiquity, extremely competently, taking into account the geology of the bottom of the strait. Strange finds in the tunnel were also mentioned - incomprehensible mechanisms and fossilized remains of animals. All this then disappeared into the secret bases of the special services. So P. Miroshnichenko's statements that our country and the Far East are riddled with tunnels are not without foundation. And this used tunnel, it is possible, leads further through about. Sakhalin to Japan.

Western Europe

Now let's move to the region of Western Europe, in particular, to the border of Slovenia and Poland, to the Beskydy Tatra mountain range. Here stands the “Queen of the Beskids” – Mount Babia, 1725 m high. Since ancient times, the inhabitants of the surrounding area have kept a secret associated with this mountain. As one of the residents named Vincent said, in the 60s of the XX century, together with his father, at his insistence, he went from the village to Babia Gora. At an altitude of 600 m, together with their father, they pushed aside one of the protruding rocks, and a large entrance opened, into which a cart with a horse could freely enter.

The oval-shaped tunnel that opened up was as straight as an arrow, wide and high enough to fit an entire train. The smooth and shiny surface of the walls and floor seemed to be covered with glass. It was dry inside. A long path through an inclined tunnel led them to a spacious hall, shaped like a huge barrel. There were several tunnels in it, some of them were triangular in cross section, others were round. According to Father Vincent, it turned out that through the tunnels from here you can get to different countries and to different continents. The tunnel on the left leads to Germany, then to England and on to the American continent. The right tunnel stretches to Russia, to the Caucasus, then to China and Japan, and from there to America, where it connects with the left one.

You can also get to America through other tunnels laid under the North and South Poles of the Earth. Along the way of each tunnel, there are "junction stations" like this one. According to him, at present, these tunnels are active - the movement of UFO vehicles has been noted through them.

A report from England testifies that while tunneling for household needs, the miners heard the sounds of working mechanisms coming from below. When the stone mass was broken through, the miners found a staircase leading to the well, while the sounds of working mechanisms intensified. True, nothing more is reported about their further actions. But perhaps they accidentally discovered one of the vertical shafts of the horizontal tunnel coming from Germany. And the sounds of working mechanisms testified to its working condition.

North America

The American continent is also rich in reports of the location of ancient tunnels. Andrew Thomas, a well-known explorer, is convinced that ancient underground vertical and horizontal tunnels, again with burnt walls, have been preserved under America, and some of them are in perfect condition. The tunnels are straight as an arrow and pierce the entire continent.

California

One of the nodes where several mines converge is Mount Shasta in California. From there, paths lead to the states of California and New Mexico. This is confirmed by the case that happened to the spouses Iris and Nick Marshall, who, in the vicinity of the small California town of Bishop in a mountainous area called Caso Diablo, penetrated a cave, the walls and floor of which were unusually even and smooth, as if polished to a mirror shine. Strange hieroglyphic writing was drawn on the walls and on the ceiling. On one of the walls there were small holes from which weak beams of light streamed. Then they heard a strange noise coming from the ground, as a result of which they hurriedly left the premises. Perhaps they accidentally discovered one of the entrances to the underground tunnel, which turned out to be active.

In 1980, off the coast of California, again, a huge hollow space was discovered, extending into the interior of the continent for several hundred meters. It is possible that one of the junction stations of the underground tunnels was discovered.

Nevada

The presence of tunnels is also evidenced by the fact that the nuclear tests at great depths at a well-known test site in Nevada, they had an unexpected effect. Two hours later, in Canada, at one of the military bases at a distance of 2000 km from the Nevada test site, a radiation level was recorded that was 20 times higher than normal. How could this happen? It turned out that next to the base was a huge cave, which is part of a huge system of caves and tunnels of the continent. In 1963, while tunneling, they stumbled upon a huge door, behind which marble steps descended. Perhaps this was another entrance to the tunnel system. Unfortunately, it is not known where this happened.

Idaho

But in Idaho, anthropologist James McKean explored a large cave and advanced several hundred meters through a wide stone tunnel before he was stopped by an unbearable smell of sulfur, terrible remains of human skeletons and a distinct noise from the depths. As a result, the research had to be stopped.

Mexico

In Mexico, in one of the most deserted and sparsely populated areas, ancient cave Satano de las Golondrinas, which has a depth of more than a kilometer and a width of several hundred meters. Its sheer walls are absolutely flat and smooth. And its bottom is a real labyrinth of various “rooms”, “transitions” and tunnels, diverging at this depth in different directions. One of the nodes of the intercontinental tunnels?

South America

South America does not lag behind North America in terms of tunnels. In the course of recent research by Professor E. von Denikin, many kilometers of tunnels were discovered under the surface of the Nazca desert, through which clean water still flows.

Ecuador

And in June 1965, in Ecuador, Argentine explorer Juan Moritz in the province of Morona Santiago, within the territory delineated by the cities of Galaquiza - San Antonio - Yopi, discovered and mapped an unknown system of underground tunnels and ventilation shafts with a total length of hundreds kilometers. The entrance to the tunnel system looks like a neat cut in the rock the size of a barn gate.

The descent to successively arranged horizontal platforms leads to a depth of 230 m. Here there are tunnels of rectangular section, of varying width with turns at an angle of 90 degrees. The walls are smooth, as if glazed or polished. Ventilation shafts with a diameter of about 70 cm and rooms the size of concert hall. It was found that in the center of one of them there is a structure like a table and seven “thrones” made of an unknown material similar to plastic. Near the “throne” place, large figures of fossil pangolins, elephants, crocodiles, lions, camels, bison, bears, monkeys, wolves, jaguars, and even crabs and snails cast from gold were found. In the same hall there is a “library” of several thousand metal embossed plates measuring 96x48 cm with some kind of badges. Each plate is stamped in a special way. X. Moritz also found a stone "amulet" (11×6 cm) depicting a figure of a man standing on a globe.

Moritz wrote: "On these plates, probably, the history of the disappeared civilizations is set out, about which today we have no idea."

Moritz invited the Swiss explorer Erich von Daniken, the author of the famous film "Memories of the Future", so that he could personally examine the finds.

According to Daniken, this library was left to earthlings as a gift from alien intelligent beings. However, his book “Gold of the Gods”, which was published soon, was declared a scientific hoax. Daniken still managed to establish the exact coordinates of the cave, which he names in the film, but the path there is so difficult and dangerous that so far no expedition has overcome it.

Tunnels and halls abound with piles of gold items (discs, plates, huge "necklaces") with various drawings and symbols. There are images of dinosaurs carved on the walls. On the plates there are images of pyramids made of blocks. And the symbol of the pyramid is adjacent to flying (not crawling!) snakes in the sky. Hundreds of such images have been found. Some plates reflect astronomical concepts and ideas of space travel.

Without a doubt, the discovery made by H. Moritz, to some extent, lifts the veil of the one who built the tunnels, their level of knowledge and approximately the era when this happened (they saw dinosaurs).

And already in 1976, a joint Anglo-Ecuadorian expedition examined one of the underground tunnels in the Los Tayos region, on the border of Peru and Ecuador. A room was found there, where there was also a table surrounded by chairs with backs more than two meters high, made of an unknown material. Another room was a long hall with a narrow passage in the middle. On its walls there were shelves with ancient books, thick folios - about 400 pages each. The sheets of solid gold volumes were filled with an incomprehensible type.

Of course, the creators used the tunnels and halls not only for movement, but also as a repository of valuable information, designed for a long time. It is clear that now these premises are no longer used.

Peru

In 1971, an expedition of speleologists discovered caves in Peru, the entrance to which was blocked by rocky blocks. Having overcome them, the researchers found a huge hall at a depth of about 100 m, the floor of which was lined with blocks with a special relief. On the (again) polished walls were obscure inscriptions resembling hieroglyphs. Numerous tunnels ran in different directions from the hall. Some of them lead towards the sea, under water and continue at its bottom.

Thus, we faced, apparently, with another junction station.

On the other hand, a section of the torsion chain stretching from La Poma to Caiafate (Argentina) near the city of Cacho is currently exposed to high levels of radioactivity and soil electrification, vibration and microwave radiation, according to studies by Equal Biophysical Institute scientists Omar José and Jorge Dilletain held in June 2003. They believe that this phenomenon is man-made and is the result of the operation of certain technical devices (machines) located underground at a depth of many kilometers. Perhaps these are underground workings currently used as working premises.

Chile

Absolutely amazing messages from Chile. In November 1972, at the request of the government of S. Allende, a Soviet complex expedition arrived in Chile with mining specialists Nikolai Popov and Efim Chubarin to survey and reopen old ore mines for copper production, which the republic needed. The specialists went to the mountains to a forgotten field located 40 km from the city of Chichuana.

Having cleared the orderly littered entrance to the mine, Popov and Chubarin walked several tens of meters and found a passage that went down at an angle of 10 degrees. The passage was one and a half meters in diameter with a wavy surface. Our experts decided to examine the passage, and after 80 meters it turned into a horizontal state and led to a large working, rich in copper veins. They stretched for at least hundreds of meters.

But it turned out that the veins had already been developed, and by a high-tech method: the waste rock remained untouched, no landslides and debris. A little further on, experts saw copper ingots resembling ostrich eggs in shape and size, collected in piles of 40–50 pieces at a distance of 25–30 steps from each other. Then they saw a snake-like mechanism - a harvester about a meter in diameter and 5-6 meters long. The snake clung to the copper vein and literally sucked out the veins of copper from the walls of the tunnel. But it was not possible to observe for a long time, since new snake-like mechanisms of a smaller size appeared - about 20 cm in diameter and 1.5–2 m long. Apparently, they penetrated into places inaccessible to a large mechanism, and also performed a protective function from unwanted visitors.

And now let's remember the chemical composition of UFOs, which are 90 percent copper. And it is possible that our specialists accidentally discovered one of the copper deposits developed by UFO representatives for their own needs to repair and create new types of UFO devices, one of the bases of which is located in the mountains of South America. However, it also makes it possible to understand how the large tunnels with their shiny, polished walls were created.

Thus, the legends about the presence in South America The extensive system of underground tunnels is not without reason, and it is completely possible that the Incas hid gold and jewelry, the search for which the conquistadors devoted more than one hundred years, in underground tunnels in the Andes, the center of which is located in the ancient capital of Cuzco, and they stretched for many hundreds of kilometers not only under the territory of Peru, but also under the Equator, Chile and Bolivia. But the entrances to them were ordered to be walled up by the wife of the last ruler of the Incas. So the deep past is adjacent and intertwined with the events of the near present.

Southeast Asia

Southeast Asia also does not suffer from the absence of ancient tunnels. The famous Shambhala is located in numerous caves of Tibet, connected by underground passages and tunnels, with their initiates, who are in a state of “samadhi” (neither dead nor alive), sitting in the lotus position in them for many hundreds of thousands of years. Ready tunnels were also used for other purposes - the preservation of the Earth's gene pool and basic values. From the words of the initiates who have access to those in a state of "samadhi", it was repeatedly mentioned about unusual vehicles stored there and about tunnels with absolutely smooth walls.

In the Hunan province of China, south coast Lake Dongting, southwest of the city of Wuhan, next to one of the round pyramids, Chinese archaeologists discovered a buried passage that led them to underground labyrinth. Its stone walls turned out to be very smooth and carefully processed, which gave scientists reason to exclude their natural origin. One of the many symmetrically arranged passages led archaeologists to a large underground hall, the walls and ceiling of which were covered with many drawings. One of the drawings depicts a hunting scene, and at the top one could see creatures (gods?) "in modern clothes" sitting in a round ship, very similar to a UFO apparatus. People with spears are chasing the beast, and the “superhumans” flying above them are aiming at the target with objects that look like guns.

The other drawing consists of 10 balls at equal distances from each other, placed around the center, and resembles a diagram of the solar system, with the third ball (Earth) and the fourth (Mars) connected by a line in the form of a loop. This indicates the connection of the Earth and Mars with some kind of relationship. Scientists have determined the age of the adjacent pyramids as 45,000 years.

But the tunnels could have been built much earlier and were only used by subsequent inhabitants of the Earth.

But in the north-west of China, in the desert and sparsely populated area of ​​​​the province of Qinghui, in Tibet, not far from the city of Ih-Tsaidam, Mount Baigong rises with nearby fresh and salt lakes. On the southern shore of the salt lake Toson, a lone rock with caves rises 60 meters; in one of them, with even and smooth, obviously artificial walls, a rust-covered pipe with a diameter of 40 cm obliquely protrudes from the upper part of the wall, another pipe goes underground, and another 12 pipes of a smaller diameter - from 10 to 40 cm - are mounted at the entrance to the cave. They are located parallel to each other. On the shore of the lake and near it, you can see many iron pipes sticking out of rocks and sand, 2–4.5 cm in diameter and oriented from east to west. There are tubes of even smaller cross section - only a few millimeters, but none of them are clogged inside. Such tubes were also found in the lake itself - protruding outward or hidden in the depths. When studying the composition of the pipes, it turned out that they have 30 percent iron oxide, a large amount of silicon dioxide and calcium oxide. The composition indicates a long-term oxidation of iron and indicates a very ancient origin of the pipes.

Everyone knows the pyramids and the ruins of ancient temples on the Giza plateau in Egypt. But little is known about what lies below the surface of the earth. The latest research by scientists shows that huge unexplored underground structures are hidden under the pyramids inside the plateau, and scientists suggest that the network of tunnels extends for tens of kilometers and stretches both towards the Red Sea and towards the coast. Atlantic Ocean. And now let's recall the results of the study in South America of tunnels that go under the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean ... Perhaps they are going towards each other.

Paleotunnels and ancient underground cities

The megalithic culture of Egypt, America, China and even Japan is becoming very popular and even covered by the world media, but many researchers point blank do not notice such megaliths in Russia. This report will focus on them.

Voids in the earth's crust are found all over the world, and an underground civilization may indeed exist, given the fairly comfortable living conditions underground. The mention of an underground civilization in the myths of different peoples and on different continents is quite common. And the latest scientific discoveries confirm the possibility of life underground. The mysterious underworld exists not only in legends. In recent decades, the number of visitors to the caves has increased markedly. Adventurers and miners are making their way deeper and deeper into the bowels of the Earth, more and more often they come across traces of the activities of mysterious underground inhabitants.
It turned out that under us there is a whole network of tunnels stretching for thousands of kilometers and enveloping the entire Earth in a network. Polish researcher Jan Paenk claims that a whole network of tunnels has been laid underground that lead to any country. These tunnels are made with high technology, not known to people, and pass not only under the surface of the land, but also under the bed of the seas and oceans. The tunnels are not just punched, but as if burnt out in underground rocks, and their walls are a frozen molten rock - smooth as glass and have an extraordinary strength. Jan Paenk met with miners who came across such tunnels while driving shreks.
According to the Polish scientist and many other researchers, flying saucers rush from one end of the world to the other along these underground communications. (Ufologists have a huge amount of evidence that UFOs fly out of the ground and from the depths of the seas). Such tunnels have also been found in Ecuador, South Australia, USA, New Zealand. In addition, vertical, absolutely straight (like an arrow) wells with the same melted walls have been found in many parts of the world. These wells have different depths from tens to several hundred meters. Mexico. Mitla. Mayan underground structures These structures have high quality finishes and look more like a bunker. The researchers also noticed that, according to some details, one can judge that the Indians did not build, but only restored one of these structures from the blocks lying around in the vicinity. There are especially many stories about the mysterious South American tunnels. Along the solid roads stretching across South America from Ecuador to Chile, archaeologists continually dig out tunnels, the length of which testifies to the highest level of civilization of those who built them.

In 1991, in the region of the Rio Sinju River, a group of Peruvian speleologists discovered a system underground caves containing traces of human activity. So, one of them was equipped with a rotating ball stone slab. This mechanism for blocking the entrance could only be created by enlightened people. Behind the door stretched a multi-kilometer tunnel. And although several expeditions that have been there have not yet been able to figure out where it leads, there is hope that this mystery will be solved ... Even the famous English traveler and scientist Percy Fossett, who visited South America many times, mentioned in his books about extended caves located near the volcanoes of Popocatepetl and Inlaquatl and in the region of Mount Shasta. Some researchers managed to see fragments of this underground empire. Meanwhile, the most authoritative archaeologists of Peru today have no doubts about the existence of an underground empire: not yet explored by anyone, it, in their understanding, extends under the seas and continents. And ancient buildings rise above the entrances to this grand dungeon in different parts of the world: for example, in Peru, this is the city of Cusco... Of course, not all scientists share the opinion of Peruvian experts. And yet, many facts speak in favor of the underworld, indirectly proving its existence. Dungeons of Cusco An ancient legend is also associated with gold, telling about a secret entrance to a vast labyrinth. underground galleries under the collapsed building of the Cathedral of Santo Domingo. As evidenced by the Spanish magazine Mas Alla, which specializes in describing all kinds of historical mysteries, this legend, in particular, tells that there are gigantic tunnels in length that cross the vast mountainous territory of Peru and reach Brazil and Ecuador. In the language of the Quechua Indians, they are called "chinkana", which literally means "maze". In these tunnels, the Incas, allegedly deceiving the Spanish conquistadors, hid a significant part of the gold wealth of their empire in the form of large art objects. Even a specific point in Cusco was indicated, where this labyrinth began and where the temple of the Sun once stood. It was gold that glorified Cusco (there is still the only museum in the world dedicated to this noble metal). But it also destroyed him. The Spanish conquistadors, who conquered the city, plundered the temple of the Sun, and all its riches, including the golden statues in the garden, were loaded onto ships and sent to Spain. At the same time, there was also a rumor about the existence of underground halls and galleries, where the Incas allegedly hid part of the ritual gold items. There are pictures of fragments of global dungeons in North America. Cape Perpetua. The gate to the cellar.
The world's longest Flint Mammoth Cave, 500 km of underground tunnels. Numerous speleological expeditions have established that Mammoth Cave connects with a number of nearby small caves. And the 1972 expedition discovered that there is a passage from Mammoth Cave to the Flint Ridge cave system. The author of the book about Shambhala, Andrew Thomas, on the basis of a thorough analysis of the stories of American speleologists, claims that there are direct underground passages in the mountains of California that lead to the state of New Mexico. Lost Worlds of Africa There are many kilometers of tunnels under the Sahara desert: from Sebha in Libya to the Ghat oasis near the Algerian border. These tunnels are a huge underground water supply system. Scientists have calculated that the total length of the tunnels is approximately 1600 km. These tunnels were cut into the rock more than five thousand years ago, which coincides approximately with the date of the emergence of the united state of Egypt. underground tunnels Malta islands Many experts claim that the Maltese Hypogeum was built as a temple, a huge underground temple of death and birth with an intricate system of levels, passages, halls and traps. In addition, the skeletons of 30 thousand people of the late Neolithic era and various artifacts were found in the Hypogee. Now historians insist on recognizing it as the eighth wonder of the world - after all, judging by this mysterious room, in Malta, long before Stonehenge and the era Egyptian pyramids there was an advanced civilization. A bunch of underground passages and tunnels, including prehistoric catacombs, was later included by knight builders in the system of fortifications. As for the network of catacombs near Malta, some ancient sources indicate that it branched not only under the surface of the island: the passages went inland and to the sides, continued under the sea and, according to rumors, stretched all the way to Italy. At least in antiquity, in ancient times, many sources pointed to this. About existence in Russia system of global tunnels was written in his book "The Legend of the LSP" by a speleologist - a researcher studying artificial structures - Pavel Miroshnichenko. The lines of global tunnels he drew on the map of the former USSR went from the Crimea through the Caucasus to the well-known Medveditskaya ridge. In each of these places, groups of ufologists, speleologists, explorers of the unknown discovered fragments of tunnels or mysterious bottomless wells. Since 1997, the Kosmopoisk expedition has carefully studied the notorious Medveditskaya ridge in the Volga region.
The researchers discovered and mapped an extensive network of tunnels stretching for tens of kilometers. The tunnels have a circular section, sometimes oval, with a diameter of 7 to 20 m, maintaining a constant width and direction along the entire length. The tunnels are located at a depth of 6 to 30 meters from the surface of the earth. As you approach the hill on the Medveditskaya ridge, the diameter of the tunnels increases from 20 to 35 meters, and then to 80 m, and already at the very hill, the diameter of the cavities reaches 120 m, turning under the mountain into a huge hall. Three seven-meter tunnels leave from here at different angles. It seems that the Medveditskaya ridge is a junction, a crossroads where tunnels from different regions converge. Researchers suggest that from here you can get not only to the Caucasus and the Crimea, but also to the northern regions of Russia, to Novaya Zemlya and further to the North American continent. Under Black Sea city Gelendzhik, a bottomless mine with a diameter of about one and a half meters with amazingly smooth edges was discovered. Experts unanimously say: it was created using technology unknown to people and has existed for more than one hundred years. The dungeons of the Urals also keep many secrets. The first dungeons on the territory of Kievan Rus arose even before the 10th century, but all this was amateurishness compared to caves Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. According to the official version, many kilometers of underground passages, cells, tombs and churches were created as an underground monastery. Despite the fact that the caves of the Kiev-Pechersk Holy Assumption Lavra have been studied, they keep many secrets. Some corridors have not been used for a very long time due to collapses. This is especially true of the Far Caves, all the exits of which towards the Dnieper have long been abandoned, and in the 1930s they were bricked up and tightly cemented ... Also in Ukraine, in the Ternopil region is the second longest cave in the world "Optimisticheskaya", not so long ago discovered by speleologists. To date, more than 200 kilometers of its passages have been discovered. And it is believed that this is not the limit and perhaps it is connected to other caves that form a single network. Currently under study are gobi caves. Due to its inaccessibility - and the caves are located on the so-called " forbidden territory"Associated with Shambhala, the habitat of the highest initiates, the Gobi dungeons were practically not explored. But this is just a cursory superficial overview. There is no way even to simply list all the mysterious dungeons and tunnels scattered around the world, and, most likely, interconnected together.The same applies to all the numerous catacombs, which are not just quarries.Their origin goes back to the depths of millennia.The catacombs are also not fully explored and may also be part of a single underground network of tunnels. Legends about the inhabitants of the dungeon It is difficult to find a people who would not have legends about creatures living in the darkness of the dungeons. They were much older than the human race and were descended from representatives of other civilizations that disappeared from the surface of the earth. They possessed secret knowledge and crafts. In relation to people, the inhabitants of the dungeons, as a rule, were hostile. Therefore, it can be assumed that the fairy tales describe the real, and perhaps even today existing, underground world. There are especially many legends about the underworld of Tibet and the Himalayas. Here in the mountains there are tunnels that go deep into the earth. Through them, the “initiate” can travel to the center of the planet and meet with representatives of the ancient civilization. Tibetan lamas say that the ruler of the Underworld is the great King of the World, as he is called in the East. And his kingdom - Agarta, based on the principles of the Golden Age - has existed for at least 60 thousand years. People there do not know evil and do not commit crimes. Science reached an unprecedented flourishing there, therefore the underground people, having reached the incredible heights of knowledge, do not know diseases and are not afraid of any cataclysms. The King of the World wisely manages not only millions of his own underground subjects, but also secretly the entire population of the surface part of the Earth. He knows all the hidden springs of the universe, he comprehends the soul of every human being and reads the great book of fate. The realm of Agartha stretches underground across the entire planet. There is also an opinion that the peoples of Agarta were forced to move to underground living after the universal cataclysm (flood) and the submersion of land under water - the ancient continents that existed in the place of the present oceans. In the underground workshops tireless work is in full swing. Any metals are melted there and products from them are forged. AT unknown chariots or other perfect devices, underground inhabitants rush through tunnels laid deep underground. The level of technical development of underground inhabitants exceeds the wildest imagination. But not only wise beings who give advice to "initiates" live in the underworld of India. Ancient Indian legends tell of the mysterious kingdom of the Nagas, hidden in the depths of the mountains. It is inhabited by snake people who keep countless treasures in their caves. Cold-blooded as snakes, these creatures are incapable of experiencing human feelings. They cannot warm themselves and steal warmth, bodily and spiritual, from other living beings. Hindus have legends about nagas - snake-like creatures that live on land, in water or underground. In South America, there are amazing caves connected by endless intricate passages - the so-called chinkanas. The legends of the Indians say that snake people live in their depths. These caves are practically unexplored. By order of the authorities, all entrances to them are tightly closed with bars. Dozens of adventurers have already disappeared without a trace in Chinkanas. Some tried to penetrate the dark depths out of curiosity, others out of a thirst for profit: according to legend, Inca treasures are hidden in chinkanas. Only a few managed to get out of the terrible caves. But even these “lucky ones” were permanently damaged in their minds. From the incoherent stories of the survivors, one can understand that they met strange creatures in the depths of the earth. These inhabitants of the underworld were both human and snake-like at the same time. A sublatitudinal tunnel stretching from the Crimea to the east in the region of the Ural Mountains intersects with another, stretched from north to east. It is along this tunnel that you can hear stories about "divya people", who at the beginning of the last century went out to the locals. "Divya people", - is told in the epics, common in the Urals, - live in Ural mountains, exits to the world have through caves. Their culture is great. “Divya people” are small in stature, very beautiful and with a pleasant voice, but only the elite can hear them ... Among a number of researchers of the underworld, there is a strong opinion that the entrances to underground cities humanoid inhabitants exist in the Pamirs and even at the poles of the Arctic and Antarctic. life underground According to geologists, there is more water underground than in the entire World Ocean, and not all of it is in a bound state, i.e. only part of the water is part of the minerals and rocks. To date, underground seas, lakes and rivers have been discovered.
It has been suggested that the waters of the World Ocean are connected with the underground water system, and accordingly, not only the circulation and exchange of water between them takes place, but also the exchange of biological species. Unfortunately, this area remains completely unexplored to date.

To believe or not to believe? To believe or not to believe all these stories? Any sane person will answer: "Do not believe!" But not everything is so clear. Let's try to think logically. Let's think about how real a full-fledged human life underground is? Could there be an unknown culture or even a civilization next to us - or rather, below us - managing to limit contact with terrestrial humanity to a minimum? Staying unnoticed? Is it possible? Does such "living" contradict common sense? In principle, a person can exist underground, and it would be pretty good if there was money. Suffice it to recall the bunker house that Tom Cruise is currently building: the megastar plans to hide in his underground dwelling from aliens who, in his opinion, should soon attack our Earth. In less "illuminated", but no less solid bunker cities, the "chosen ones" are preparing in the event of an atomic war to wait out the nuclear winter and the post-radiation period - and this is a period during which more than one generation will rise to its feet! Moreover, in China and Spain today, many thousands of people do not live in houses, but in comfortable caves with all amenities. True, these cave dwellers continue to actively contact the outside world and take part in terrestrial life.
But, perhaps, the most striking example of the adaptability of a huge number of people (what is there - a whole civilization!) To the "lower" world is the underground city of Derinkuyu. Derinkuyu I have already made a post about the ancient underground city of Derinkuyu, which is located in the picturesque Turkish area of ​​Cappadocia. http://www.site/blogs/vokrug_sveta/55502_podzemnyj_gorod_derinkuyu Of course, I don’t want to repeat myself, but I also can’t help but remember him here. Derinkuyu, which means "deep wells", takes its name from the small Turkish town currently located above it. For a long time, no one thought about the purpose of these strangest wells, until in 1963 one of the local residents, who discovered a strange crack in his basement from which fresh air was drawn, showed a healthy curiosity. As a result, a multi-tiered underground city was found, numerous rooms and galleries of which, connected with each other by passages, tens of kilometers long, were hollowed out in the rocks ... Already during the excavation of the upper tiers of Derinkuyu, it became clear: this was the discovery of the century. In the underground city, scientists discovered objects of the material culture of the Hittites, the great Indo-European people who competed with the Egyptians for dominance in Asia Minor. Hittite kingdom, founded in the XVIII century BC. e., in the XII century BC. e. sank into the unknown. That is why the discovery of a whole city of the Hittites became a real sensation. In addition, it turned out that the giant underground city is only part of a colossal labyrinth under the Anatolian plateau. Scientists have come to the conclusion that underground construction has been carried out for at least nine (!) Centuries. Moreover, these were not just earthworks, albeit of a colossal volume. Ancient architects equipped the underground empire with a life-support system, the perfection of which still amazes today. Everything here was thought out to the smallest detail: rooms for animals, warehouses for food, rooms for cooking and eating, for sleeping, for meetings ... At the same time, religious temples and schools were not forgotten. A precisely calculated blocking device made it easy to block the entrances to the dungeon with granite doors. And the ventilation system that supplied the city with fresh air continues to function flawlessly to this day! Derinkuyu is not the only underground city found in Turkey. 300 kilometers southeast of Ankara, Turkish archaeologists have unearthed another one, the creation of which dates back to the 7th century BC. e. Now it is called by the name of the nearby village - Kaymakli. On its seven floors, going deep into the earth, there are two-room "apartments" with compartments for food and food storage. Bathtubs - smooth recesses in the stone - were designed to be filled with water from underground sources. And at any time of the year, thanks to a precisely calculated system of ventilation shafts, a constant temperature of +27 C was maintained in the premises.

The fact that underground there is a grandiose branched network of tunnels connecting not only various geographic features, but also the continents, many researchers now say. According to most of them, the tunnels were created by some ancient civilization that disappeared from the face of the Earth.

"Metro" for UFO?

It looks like fantasy, but under the surface of the earth there are not only natural caves, but also real underground cities, mysterious vertical mines, and most importantly, mysterious tunnels, the length of which is thousands of kilometers. According to the Polish researcher Jan Paenka, underground there is a very extended network of tunnels, through which you can get to any country.

These tunnels were laid with the help of high technologies, so far inaccessible to our civilization. The fact is that they are not punched in the rocks, but as if burned into them, their walls, which are melted rocks, speak about this. They are smooth to the touch, like glass, and have considerable strength. The Polish explorer is not a dreamer, he did not invent these tunnels, Paenk talked more than once with miners who, while laying mine workings, sometimes stumbled upon such mysterious underground structures. For example, in New Zealand, he managed to talk with a miner who said that local miners, laying drifts, accidentally punched holes in two of these tunnels. However, one of the high officials ordered that the entrances to them be urgently concreted. It should be noted that such tunnels on this moment

found in the USA, Ecuador, South Australia, New Zealand and other countries.

In addition to tunnels with "glass" walls, there are often vertical wells, as if melted into the rocks. They are absolutely straight, with a constant section throughout, with a depth of tens to several hundred meters. One of these wells with a depth of more than 100 meters is located near Gelendzhik. It has very smooth walls, covered with a thin crust of rocks melted at high temperature. Studying the well, scientists came to the conclusion that it was created both by mechanical and thermal effects. In their opinion, this is not yet within the power of our modern technologies. In addition, an increased background radiation is recorded in this well. Who created these wells and for what purpose? - there are no answers to these questions yet.

However, Jan Paenk believes that UFOs will move at great speed through these underground tunnels from one end of the Earth to the other. This version is supported by a number of ufologists. More than once, eyewitnesses have observed not only fireballs, but also flying saucers flying out of the ground. Some of the ufologists believe that UFOs simply use the tunnels left by some disappeared civilization of our planet, while others consider them to be involved in the emergence of at least part of these underground communications. There is also a hypothesis that part of the tunnels belongs to a certain underground civilization that coexists in parallel with us from time immemorial.

The Legacy of a Disappeared Civilization

It is possible that UFOs actually rush through the mysterious tunnels, however, without a doubt, a significant part of the underground structures we inherited from the disappeared civilizations of our planet. Many researchers have long come to the conclusion that civilizations have been born on Earth more than once, which in their development have reached high altitudes, but became victims of global cataclysms. Most likely, it was their representatives who laid a colossal network of tunnels underground. They could be used as a transport network or serve as shelters from natural disasters or military operations.

It may seem to many that the information about the tunnels is not specific and is more fiction than reality.

Yes, while there is no information about people who could pass through the underground tunnel from Europe to America, no one has organized such trips yet. However, the tunnels can be traced using geophysical works, they can be detected using special images from space, their length and direction can be extrapolated from fragments found at different points.

There are specific examples of tunnel detection. Here, for example, is what Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Yevgeny Vorobyov writes: “It is known that in the post-war years (in 1950) a secret decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR was issued on the construction of a tunnel through the Tatar Strait in order to connect the mainland with a railway from Sakhalin Island. Over time, secrecy was removed, and Doctor of Physical and Technical Sciences L. S. Berman, who worked there at that time, told in 1991 in her memoirs the Voronezh branch of Memorial that the builders were not so much building, but restoring the already existing tunnel laid in of deep antiquity, extremely competently, taking into account the geology of the bottom of the strait. Mention was also made of strange finds in the tunnel - incomprehensible mechanisms and animal fossils. All this later disappeared in the secret bases of special services. "There is an assumption that this mysterious tunnel could well go straight through Sakhalin Island to Japan and beyond.

There is no doubt about the data of the Kosmopoisk expedition, which since 1997 has been studying the now well-known Medveditskaya ridge in the Volga region. In the course of research, the expedition members managed to discover and map a whole network of tunnels stretching for tens of kilometers. The researchers visited these tunnels and saw everything with their own eyes. The discovered tunnels mostly have a circular section with a diameter of 7 to 20 meters, only occasionally come across tunnels with an oval section. There can be no question of the natural origin of these dungeons, because these tunnels are characterized by a constant width and direction throughout their entire length. It was possible to establish that they were laid at a depth of 6 to 30 meters from the earth's surface.

Interestingly, as you approach the hill on the Medveditskaya ridge, the diameter of the tunnels grows, first from 20 to 35 meters, then to 80 meters, and already under the mountain itself it reaches 120 meters. A huge hall is formed here, which the researchers from Kosmopoisk consider a kind of “junction station”, because three seven-meter-diameter tunnels go into the unknown at once from it at different angles. According to representatives of Kosmopoisk, from this hall you can get not only to the Caucasus and the Crimea, but also to Novaya Zemlya, and maybe even to North America.

AT Western Europe, on the border of Slovenia and Poland, is the Beskydy mountain range. It is here that Babia Mountain rises (1725 m). You can hear many legends about this mountain from local residents and even learn some sensational details about its main secret. So one of the locals named Vincent said that in the 60s of the last century, his father took him to Babia Mountain and showed him some secret place at an altitude of about 600 meters. There, the two of them pushed aside an impressive block, behind which the entrance to the tunnel was hidden. According to an eyewitness, the tunnel with an oval section was so large that a train could easily pass through it. Interestingly, Vincent noted that the walls of the tunnel were smooth and shiny, as if covered with glass. So, this tunnel clearly had walls covered with molten rocks.

An indicative fact, experts from NASA, together with French scientists, after conducting a series of special studies, found that under the surface of the earth in South America, the Sahara, Altai, the Urals, Perm region, Tien Shan has a huge branched network of tunnels and galleries with a length of thousands of kilometers. In this network, there are not only linear workings, but also real underground cities.

Alas, while research mysterious tunnels mostly done by enthusiasts. I did not find data on any serious attempts by scientists to determine their age, however, according to various deposits, stalactites, destruction and a number of other signs, one can safely speak of their extremely ancient origin. Why did the ancients make so much effort to create such labor-intensive and grandiose underground structures?

While working on this article (at the end of August) in one of the television programs, I heard a message that American journalists managed to film the intensive delivery of huge quantities of food to one of the secret underground cities of the United States. Interestingly, this did not happen before the “end of the world” in 2012. It is said that the US government fears a super-powerful flare on the Sun, which could allegedly burn out all life on the surface of the planet. However, most likely, the American elite is preparing for a predicted solar flare that could leave the whole world without electricity. Such a disaster may well cause chaos, anarchy, popular unrest, which are better to sit out in well-guarded and well-stocked underground cities.

Here is the answer to the question asked. The ancients could build underground structures to save themselves from any global cataclysms - a flash on the Sun, an asteroid fall, a sharp cooling or warming. It is also obvious that the dungeons could serve as a reliable defense in case of war, especially with the use of bombs and nuclear weapons. By the way, American and French scientists came to the conclusion that about 25 thousand years ago, a real nuclear war took place on Earth. Scientists have found about 100 points on the earth's surface where, in their opinion, nuclear strikes were carried out. There are also hypotheses that nuclear wars took place on Earth 30 million and 12-15 thousand years ago. There is also a version that the "gods" started a nuclear war on our planet, by which they now mean aliens. They fought a war for control of the planet, and its natives had to hide in underground shelters. So, it turns out that ancient civilizations planets had every reason to "bite" into the earth.

The best "safe" for treasures

It is well known that during wars, popular riots, and just in case, treasures were often hidden in dungeons. Usually these were the dungeons of temples, castles, any military fortifications. So far, there is no information that any valuables have been found in the ancient tunnels. True, this does not apply to the tunnels of South America, which are real legends.

According to one hypothesis, the disappeared gold of the Incas (estimated at least 400 tons) was hidden in the dungeons of the city of Machu Picchu.

The version about underground labyrinths under the fortress of Saksahuaman is considered more plausible. They tell about the case of two Indian children who got lost in these labyrinths in the 20th century. They disappeared for three whole days, and then came to the surface near the monastery Santo Domingo. So, they wandered in the labyrinths under the citadel of the Inca capital, then in the dungeons of Cuzco itself. As a result of these wanderings, they brought to the surface a golden cob of corn - a masterpiece of ancient Inca jewelers. Perhaps this is just a so-called urban legend, although there is too much evidence that the treasures were hidden underground in the Cusco area.

However, the so-called Moritz tunnels are of greatest interest to us. They were discovered and mapped in June 1965 in the province of Morona Santiago (Ecuador) by the Argentine ethnologist Juan Moritz. According to him, it was an unknown system of underground tunnels with a total length of thousands of kilometers. Without a doubt, it was represented by obviously artificial underground structures, they were located at a depth of 240 meters and a vertical descent, made up of successively arranged horizontal platforms, went to them.

So, Moritz descended into the dungeon, where there was a whole network of rectangular tunnels, the walls of which were very smooth, as if polished. The ceilings were no less even and smooth. Tunnels and passages led to underground halls of impressive size and volume. In one of them, later called "Libraries", there were some semblance of a table and chairs. Some sources say that they were made of plastic, others - from something resembling ceramics or modern composite materials.

Most importantly, in this room, Moritz discovered books consisting of thin metal sheets measuring 96x48 cm, each of these folios weighed no less than 20 kilograms! It is often written that the sheets of these books were made of gold, but, as we will find out a little later, most likely not from it. On the pages of these books, Juan saw mysterious signs, it was clear that they contained extensive information, probably from some long-vanished civilization.

There was also gold in the dungeons, Moritz found many different animal figurines made of precious metal, among them the researcher distinguished elephants, crocodiles, monkeys, jaguars and bison. These golden representatives of the animal world adorned the passages and halls. Moritz also saw a lot of interesting things on the floor of the tunnels. For example, in one place on the valley there was a drawing in which a man hovered over a round planet. True, one of the sources does not speak of a drawing, but of a certain stone figurine representing a person standing on a globe.

There are quite a few similar discrepancies in detail in this story with the Moritz tunnels. Of course, it is very intriguing, especially after its coverage by the famous Erich von Daniken in the book "Gold of the Gods". The latter was embarrassed a lot with these tunnels and golden books. The fact is that Moritz told reporters that he did not show Daniken the tunnels. After that, many scientists who had a grudge against Erich called him a liar, fabricating cheap sensations.

However, at one time, the director of the Archaeological Institute in Quito, Hernan Crespo Toral, called Juan Moritz himself a swindler and adventurer. The fact is that he only talked about the miracles that he allegedly saw in the dungeons, but did not provide scientists with a single artifact proving his veracity.

Although there is information that Moritz nevertheless transferred to the museum of the Colombian capital Bogotá one of the two gold figurines found in the dungeons, which outwardly resemble a model of a supersonic passenger liner"Concord". According to aviation experts, this figurine is actually a miniature aircraft model.

By and large, even if this figurine was transferred to the museum, it cannot serve as proof of the reality of the existence of numerous artifacts that Moritz talked about. It is known that golden airplanes in South America were found in Indian burials. Why not assume that Moritz could have acquired such a figurine from local "black archaeologists"?

It is alarming that Moritz never showed the sensational historical treasures he discovered to anyone. Instead of a mysterious underground labyrinth, he took Erich von Däniken to some secondary cave, and then, in addition, he dishonored him. It was not possible to "split" Moritz and the Scottish scientist and traveler Stanley Hall.

The Scot was literally on fire with the idea of ​​finding a "metal library" and making it the property of mankind. Stanley Hall sought out Moritz and approached him with a proposal to organize a joint Ecuadorian-British expedition. Moritz accepted this offer. The expedition was prepared on a grand scale, even biologists and botanists were invited to participate in it. The Ecuadorian military were supposed to protect the scientists. Stanley Hall wanted the expedition to be led by a world-renowned figure. He told his colleague Stephen Coppens: “We needed an authority figure to lead the expedition, and I suggested that astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, lead it. The American immediately agreed to join us.”

So, on August 3, 1976, the researchers, led by Armstrong, descended underground. The expedition managed to find a burial cave with a sitting mummy, botanists were the most lucky - they discovered almost 400 previously unknown plants in the jungle near the cave. But what about the "metal library"? Alas, no artifacts reported by Moritz could be found, although it was Juan who was the guide of the expedition... It is believed that Moritz decided at the last moment to remain the sole owner of the secret and, as in the case of Daniken, took the researchers to another cave.

Would you have the audacity to fool the first man on the moon? And Moritz had enough! Honestly, if the story had ended there, I would have thought that Moritz simply invented all these tunnels and priceless artifacts. However, although Moritz died in 1991, the story with his mysterious tunnels had a continuation, which, in my opinion, gave it a certain veracity.

Once Moritz said that a mysterious labyrinth of tunnels was shown to him by one person. After the death of Juan Moritz, who never revealed his secret, Stanley Hall began to look for his guide, and he managed to find him. It turned out to be Petronio Jaramillo. He was a rather simple and open person, he immediately made contact with Hall. It turned out that the Shuar Indians guarding it sacred place, showed it to his uncle back in 1946. Uncle was friends with the Indians and helped them more than once, therefore, as a token of gratitude, this mysterious place was shown to him.

Together with Uncle Petronio, he visited the hall where the metal library was kept. There were thousands of books, weighing up to 20 kg each. Later, he already visited this hall on his own, with difficulty removed seven books from the shelves, they turned out to be so heavy that he quickly parted with the idea of ​​bringing them to the surface. According to him, the metal pages, covered with letters in an unknown language and geometric symbols, were covered with a green coating. Based on this, it is believed that the sheets of the books were made not of gold, but of copper.

In the second hall, Jaramillo saw some kind of quartz tablets, most likely, they were also information carriers, almost eternal, unlike metal books. Wandering through the halls, Petronio saw statues of people and animals, a "warehouse" of some metal bars, and even sealed golden doors, behind which, perhaps, were burials. Perhaps the most intriguing find, in addition to metal books, was a large translucent sarcophagus with a giant's mummy, which was covered with gilding.

Jaramillo immediately agreed to Hall's proposal to organize a new expedition to explore the tunnels. The expedition was to take place under the auspices of UNESCO, it was approved by the Ecuadorian authorities; it seemed that the secret of the “metal library” was about to be revealed. However, as if some invisible and powerful forces interfered with this. First, in 1995, a conflict arose between Peru and Ecuador, and the expedition was postponed, then the political regime changed in Ecuador, and Hall was forced to leave this country. In 1998, all plans to search for the "metal library" finally collapsed ... due to the death of Petronio, who was killed right a few steps from his house. The police thought it was just a robbery, but is it really? Maybe the secret of the tunnels is actually guarded by some forces and the murder of Jaramillo was connected with his intention to show the way to them?

Now unfound metal books are often called the Atlantean library, dozens of researchers and enthusiasts are trying to find it. Unfortunately, so far their attempts have not brought significant results. Moritz said that the mysterious tunnels have a very significant length and pass under the territories of Argentina, Peru and Ecuador. Are they related to intercontinental tunnels? So far, no one knows about it.

Maxim Sirotkin

Underground tunnels that are found on all continents of the Earth. The mystery of man-made structures has not yet been solved by experts. For what purpose and who built them, experts do not know.

Ancient passages underground

Jan Pienk Polish believes that ancient tunnels are located all over the planet, including at the bottom of the oceans. These tunnels seem to be burned into the earth's firmament. The walls of the tunnels are hardened rock melt, very similar to glass. Modern specialists are still unaware of such mining technology. The oldest tunnels are about a million years old, they were found in 1965 by Juan Moritz, an ethnologist from Argentina. His expedition explored the province of Morona Santiago in Ecuador and mapped the tunnels, which are located at a depth of 230 meters. The walls of these tunnels are very smooth, as if polished, and there are ventilation pipes in the walls. The length of these tunnels is hundreds of kilometers in various directions, one of the directions leads to the Pacific Ocean. So far, most of the tunnels have not been explored.

Andrew Thomas from America believes that ancient tunnels permeate the North American continent, connecting it with Europe and East Asia. The most important intersections of these tunnels are called junctions. One such node is under Mount Shasta in California. One of the branches leads from here to a large expanse that has been discovered near California under the Pacific floor.

Tibet is one important hub. It is riddled with ancient underground tunnels, the walls of these tunnels are perfectly smooth. Buddhist monks believe that it is here in the bowels of the mountains that Shambhala is located, where the initiates live. They move through the tunnels in special devices with great speed.

Recently, huge unexplored voids have been discovered in Egypt under the pyramids on the Giza plateau. These tunnels diverge in different directions: to the north to the Black Sea, to Tibet to the east and to the west to the Atlantic Ocean. Where they are connected to the American system.

There is another knot of ancient tunnels in the Caucasus and Crimea. Under the Uvarov Ridge in the Caucasus, speleologists have discovered tunnels leading to the Crimea, the Volga region and the Caspian. Medveditskaya mountain range, located in the Volga region in its bowels there is a network of tunnels. Most of the tunnels have a circular cross section and their diameter is from 7 to 30 meters. There are large halls.

The Russian researcher P. Miroshnichenko tells in his book “The Legend of the LSP” that all of Russia is stitched with ancient tunnels. At the moment, not all tunnels have been discovered. One of the ancient tunnels was discovered in the 1950s, when a tunnel was being built in the Tatar Strait. One of the participants in the construction says: the drifters were not so much building as restoring some ancient tunnel. But they never made it to the end. There is an assumption that this tunnel goes through Sakhalin to Japan and America.

The ancient people were waiting for a nuclear strike

The older and deeper the tunnel, the more perfect and more precisely oriented it is by design. The tunnels discovered in Western Europe, 12 thousand years old, are the youngest, they are the most structurally crude of all the ancient tunnels found. But even such tunnels could not be built by primitive people. It remains only to assume that in ancient times there was a highly developed civilization on Earth, which disappeared for unknown reasons. Leaving only our uncivilized ancestors.

Experts speaking about the disappearance of a highly developed civilization point to the possibility of unleashing a nuclear war in antiquity. A group of French scientists studied several large craters on the surface of the Earth, it is believed that these are traces of meteorites, but the craters may have formed from nuclear explosions. The age of some funnels is 25 thousand years. AT South Africa is the deepest crater.

Researchers believe that it was formed from a nuclear strike. Power, which is more than 500 thousand tons in TNT equivalent.

Ancient mankind, most likely, knew about the impending nuclear bombardment and prepared for it. Perhaps this is what underground tunnels were made for. Whether they helped is unknown. Another question arises: who built these tunnels that are hundreds of thousands of years old?

underground country

The appearance of tunnels is easier to explain by the activity of aliens. But many researchers now say that these tunnels were created by the inhabitants of the Earth and possessed high technology. The ancient tunnels may have been built in anticipation of some natural global catastrophe.

About once every 60 years, the most disastrous events occur. Less powerful catastrophes occur every 100, 41 and 21 thousand years. The ancient "supermen" also knew about it, that's why they built underground tunnels, and then left for good in huge natural cavities located underground, where there is its own flora and fauna, its own seas. Theoretically, modern science admits the existence of a self-sufficient biosphere underground, and ancient people could well settle down in this underground world.

There are suggestions that these people still live under our feet. While laying a mine in England, miners heard the sounds of working mechanisms from underground. When they broke through the stone mass, they saw a well leading down, the walls of the well were perfectly smooth, the sounds intensified. Specialists became interested in the find, the workers were taken out of the mine. Special services became interested in studying the dungeon in New Zealand. From the depths of this dungeon, sounds similar to the howl of a siren and blows were also heard. In China, Hunan province, an underground hall was found where there are many drawings depicting people sitting in devices similar to. Sounds periodically come from the dungeon.

There is another proof of the existence of the underworld. Mysterious animals sometimes appear on Earth - one of these animals is the Chupacabra. They are considered extinct animals or completely unknown, appear for a short time and disappear into the unknown. Most likely, the underworld is connected to our underground tunnels through which these mysterious creatures come to us.

Scientists believe that the level of underground civilization is higher than ours. That's where they come from aircrafts. After all, if you think about it, the “plates” of aliens visit us too often. Here it is more logical to assume that they are not in space, but much closer. They try to keep their world a secret from people, for this they disguise themselves as aliens.

Underworld where people live for millions of years remains a mystery to scientists. But it is quite possible that the secret services solved this riddle long ago and it is possible that she has long been in touch with its inhabitants.

Every year the earth is slipping from under our feet more and more often. Pits suddenly appear on the roads, in the fields, in the yards of houses and even under the houses themselves.

The year 2003 in the Moscow region was marked by a mysterious event. In Lake Bezdonnoye, the driver of the Vereshenskaya rural administration, Vladimir Saichenko, found a regular US Navy life jacket with an identification inscription saying that this property belongs to sailor Sam Belovsky from the destroyer Cowell, which was blown up by terrorists on October 12, 2000 in the port of Aden. 4 sailors were tragically killed, and 10 were missing, including Sam Belovsky.

But how could a life jacket from the Indian Ocean get into a lake lost in the expanses of Central Russia, having covered 4,000 km in a straight line in three years? What was his path? Hence; there are some underground ways unknown to us, tunnels, apparently connecting rather repressed parts of the Earth's continents. But by whom and when they were created, and for what?

It has been repeatedly noted by various researchers on different continents that in addition to subway tunnels, bunkers, mines, and other various caves created by nature, there are underground cavities created by civilizations that preceded the human one. There are giant underground halls, the walls of which are processed by mechanisms unknown to us, as well as linear structures - tunnels. The beginning of the 21st century is marked by an increase in the frequency of finding fragments of these tunnels on different continents.

The main difference between ancient tunnels and natural and modern underground objects is that, oddly enough, ancient objects are distinguished by the perfection and amazing accuracy of processing the walls of the cavities (as a rule, they are melted), ideal directionality and orientation. They are also distinguished by their enormous, cyclopean size and ... antiquity beyond human understanding. But it cannot be said that they all appeared at the same time. Consider the available real information about ancient tunnels and workings.

In Crimea, the Marble Cave is well known, located within the Chatyr-Dag mountain range at an altitude of 900 m above sea level. When descending into the cave, numerous visitors are greeted by a huge hall in the form of a pipe about 20 meters in size, currently half filled with boulders that collapsed due to numerous earthquakes, and flooded with karst deposits. Few people pay attention to the fact that initially it was a tunnel with perfectly even walls, going deep into the mountain range with a slope towards the sea. The walls are well preserved. That is, in front of us is a part of the tunnel leading to nowhere and starting at an altitude of about 1 km from the level of the Black Sea. As follows from the latest reports of Crimean speleologists, a huge cavity was discovered under the Ai-Petri massif, picturesquely hanging over Alupka and Simeiz. In addition, tunnels connecting the Crimea and the Caucasus were discovered.

And in the Volga region, the notorious Medveditskaya ridge is located, which has been surveyed in sufficient detail by expeditions of Kosmopoisk since 1997. An extensive network of tunnels, surveyed for tens of kilometers, has been discovered and mapped. The tunnels have a circular cross-section, sometimes oval, with a diameter of 7 to 20 m, maintaining a constant width along the entire length, and a direction at a depth of 6-30 m from the surface. As you approach the hill on the Medveditskaya ridge, the diameter of the tunnels increases from 22 to 35 meters, further - 80 m and already on the very hill the diameter of the cavities reaches 120 m, turning under the mountain into a huge hall. Three seven-meter tunnels leave from here at different angles. Becomes intelligible; that the Medveditskaya ridge is a junction, a crossroads where tunnels from other regions converge, including from the Caucasus.

In the Caucasus, in the gorge near Gelendzhik, a vertical mine has been known for a long time - straight as an arrow, about one and a half meters in diameter, more than 100 m deep. In addition, its feature is smooth, as if melted walls. The study of their properties showed that the walls were subjected to both thermal and mechanical effects, which created a crust in the rock with a thickness of 1-1.5 mm, giving it extremely strong properties that cannot be created even with today's development of technology, and the melting of the walls indicates its man-made origin.

known; that in the post-war years (in 1950) a secret decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR was issued on the construction of a tunnel through the Tatar Strait in order to connect the mainland by rail with about. Sakhalin. Over time, secrecy was removed, and Doctor of Physical and Mechanical Sciences L. S. Berman, who worked there at that time, told in 1991 in her memoirs the Voronezh branch of Memorial that the builders were not so much building, but restoring the already existing tunnel laid in of deep antiquity, extremely competently, taking into account the geology of the bottom of the strait.Strange finds in the tunnel were also mentioned - incomprehensible mechanisms and fossilized remains of animals.All this later disappeared into the secret bases of special services.

It was discovered in 1971 by Soviet geologists, when the earth at the site of their development suddenly collapsed, leaving behind a hole 70 m in diameter. Since the crater is filled with potentially poisonous natural gas The decision was made to set it on fire. Scientists believed that it would burn out in a few days, but the fire still does not subside. (Amos Chapple/Rex Features)

The American continent is also rich in reports of the location of ancient tunnels. Andrew Thomas, a well-known explorer, is convinced that ancient underground vertical and horizontal tunnels, again with burnt walls, have been preserved under America, and some of them are in perfect condition. The tunnels are straight as an arrow and pierce the entire continent. One of the nodes where several mines converge is Mount Shasta in California. From there, paths lead to the states of California and New Mexico.

In 1980, off the coast of California, again, a huge hollow space was discovered, extending into the interior of the continent for several hundred meters. It is possible that one of the junction stations of the underground tunnels was discovered.

The presence of tunnels is also evidenced by the fact that nuclear tests conducted at great depths at a well-known test site in Nevada gave an unexpected effect. Two hours later, in Canada, at one of the military bases at a distance of 2000 km from the Nevada test site, a radiation level was recorded that was 20 times higher than normal. How could this happen? It turned out that next to the base was a huge cave, which is part of a huge system of caves and tunnels of the continent.

Of course, the creators used the tunnels and halls not only for movement, but also as a repository of valuable information, designed for a long time. It is clear that now these premises are no longer used.

In 1971, an expedition of speleologists discovered caves in Peru, the entrance to which was blocked by rocky blocks. Having overcome them, the researchers found a huge hall at a depth of about 100 m, the floor of which was lined with blocks with a special relief. On the (again) polished walls were obscure inscriptions resembling hieroglyphs. Numerous tunnels ran in different directions from the hall. Some of them lead towards the sea, under water and continue at its bottom.

Southeast Asia also does not suffer from the absence of ancient tunnels. In the Hunan province of China, on the southern shore of Lake Dongting, southwest of the city of Wuhan, next to one of the round pyramids, Chinese archaeologists discovered a buried passage that led them to an underground labyrinth. Its stone walls turned out to be very smooth and carefully processed, which gave scientists reason to exclude their natural origin. One of the many symmetrically arranged passages led archaeologists to a large underground hall, the walls and ceiling of which were covered with many drawings. One of the drawings depicts a hunting scene, and at the top one could see beings (gods?) “in modern clothes”, sitting in a round ship, very similar to a UFO apparatus. People with spears are chasing the beast, and “superhumans” flying above them are aiming at the target gun-like items.

Everyone knows the pyramids and the ruins of ancient temples on the Giza plateau in Egypt. But little is known about what lies below the surface of the earth. Recent studies by scientists show that huge unexplored underground structures are hidden under the pyramids inside the plateau, and scientists suggest that the network of tunnels extends for tens of kilometers and stretches both towards the Red Sea and towards the Atlantic Ocean. And now let's recall the results of the study in South America of tunnels that go under the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean ... Perhaps they are going towards each other.

The creators of these tunnels, perhaps, were not extraterrestrial space aliens, but one of the four ancient highly developed civilizations mentioned by the Incas, who possessed high technologies that made it possible to create such engineering structures that stretched over vast distances. For there is no need for aliens in the event of a threat of cataclysms on our planet to create underground tunnels, when they could safely retire to their own, observing events on Earth from afar.

We know that every 200 million years on Earth there are global catastrophes with the disappearance of up to 80 percent of the fauna and flora, and the last such was on the border of the Eocene, only 30 million years ago as a result of the fall of regular asteroids. Smaller disturbances of life on Earth in the form of falling small asteroids and accompanying earthquakes, tsunami waves, volcanic eruptions, surges and floods amounted to 100, 41 and 21 thousand years. Perhaps the ancient civilizations, knowing about such cycles and wanting to avoid their consequences, created a network of tunnels and underground structures throughout the Earth, hiding in them so as not to depend on what is happening on the surface in their activities.
