That entrance to the roman mine is amazing 👍 like a place in middle earth 🙏👍
Medieval mines now that’s cool. My great great grandfather James Douglas founded a ton of copper mines in Arizona in the 1870s. I’ve seen some explorations of those, but this is really cool! Thanks for the video!
Dude says “oh look it’s collapsed here”. I’d be like “well… perhaps we should get TF out of here then?”

I crawled through a lava tube near bend oregon usa, and farted at the very end, we were all on our hands and knees at this point in the tube. Ppl were crawling out as fast as they could. I had diarrhea coming so it stunk bad. It may still stink today and that was 35 years ago lol

@@jimritzheimer7465 I really want to believe they fingered out how to manipulate and control rocks with sounds frequency techniques. In Egypt, I am glad to see that the builders (at least some) were not slaves. They had a nice village and seem to have had provided comfortable lives for the families of builders (even if builders' bodies were destroyed by working with the huge rocks). There was a high price but it seems worth it to them.

I tried to go into an old tin mine in Cornwall, but it was a solid wall of flies!
People were smaller back then and most likely easily fit in there...and yes baskets were used to haul ore, sometimes in a chain handing it from person to person.

Wow! I am Horribly Claustrophobic! I'm 6' tall 250lbs. and watching you go in those tight passages, then crouching to get through some, then you said you're 5'6" tall, I immediately felt convulsions from Claustrophobic Freakout. Some people fear dying in fire, others fear drowning, my greatest fear would be to get stuck in one of those and not be able to move and eventually die there, eeeeesh!!!!
