This place is real but I'd recommend finding a different source to learn about it. Jimmy Corsetti is pseudoarcheologist who acts like real archeologists are conspiring to hide ancient secrets

About
Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.
Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.
The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more...

Thanks for this. I was going to watch it but I'm kinda sick of the Graham Hancocks.
They're cut from the same cloth. Both have been on Joe Rogan multiple times
Rogan? Ugh. FFS.
And they called it a mine!
A mine!
Here is a 3D tour you can see it yourself instead of this YouTube bs.

I think I saw a video about this some years ago on one of Simon Whistler's one hundred plus YouTube channels. It's a crazy cool place.
I've stopped watching his videos, because something about his way to talk makes me lose focus and I only could recall the first few minutes of the videos. I couldn't explain what it is exactly, but oh so much wasted time ๐
I don't watch most of his channels these days, but Decoding the Unknown is good.
I don't even know this one. How many did he create? 4000?
I don't know, to preserve my sanity I stopped counting. But Decoding the Unknown is a bit different, he has others write the scripts and he cold reads them (i.e. hasn't read them before recording) and the channel is all about myths and urban legends and supernatural stuff, where the point is debunking and providing realistic explanations. He goes on lots of fun tangents and it's very entertaining in general, especially his reactions to all the inane alien-and/or-ghost conspiracy theories thrown around.
Definitely recommend it!
I'm intrigued. I'll check it out after work ๐
