The mystery of the Nullarbor Caves

Ғылым және технология

We're on a quest to unravel the mystery that is the caves beneath Australia's Nullarbor desert. Subscribe to ABC Science KZread 👉 ab.co/2YFO4Go
Unique in the world, these are big labyrinthine salt water-filled caves, up to 90 metres below the flat, dry desert surface and extending for kilometres underground. Geologists believe that the Nullabor has been mostly dry since it emerged from the sea 15 million years ago. So are the caves relics of a bygone era, or are the processes that formed them still at work?

    so exciting, I would love to be a part of such a team - too late in life now will just have to scuba the barrier reef and such .... easy entry and exit no climbing ... that doesn't sound too bad though does it. Australia and amazing place to be ..

    Back in the mid 60`s there was a short film made called Nullarbor Hideout. It featured Cook on the Trans Australian Railway Line and Weebubbie Cave . In the film the two locations appeared to be walking distance apart, but in reality it was about 250 Kl. I went with the film crew and actors to the cave , we had a power source, the whole cave was lit up.

    The salt water only lends that the flat limestone plain above was once a sea... But I wouldn't believe it was 15 million years ago. The Great Flood, a cataclysmic event recorded by several ancient societies, speak of the entire Earth being covered in water. Not only rain water, but huge fountains that came from deep within the Earth... Massive earthquakes shook the land, breaking it into pieces. Not 15 million years ago... But closer to 15-20 thousand years...

    James I am learning much on this now and the world we live in is not what history or science tells us. All the conspiracy theories eventually find some footing in truth. Suspicious Observer channel is talking NOVA events that cause what you are mentioning and science and history already accepts The Carington event of the 1800's DID happen ... it will happen again and then what... we will all wish we had the aboriginal survival skills and know where the caves are for cover from the weather event. I keep an open mind on all things - I think and research for myself and never blindly accept what school teacher told me ...

Check out the channel "Bright Insight." on KZread. He even goes on to show why he thinks the "Eye of the Sahara," also known as the "Rykart Structure," may in fact be the natural bedrock upon which the fabled 3 ring city of Atlantis was built upon. He presents many layers of evidence, based upon the ancient descriptions of Plato. Watch his videos, then prove him wrong... If you can!
