"mud and water enters the house by gravity from a nearby spring."

That's a problem. Maybe a plumber could help?

Plus there are supposed to be thousands of miles of underground cities and tunnels in South America. Rumor has it there are many people still living underground there, plus they have gardens and lighting that lasts a looooong time.

According to legend the mines at Wieliczka, Poland, were discovered with the miraculous help of a 13 century noblewoman Kinga, the daughter of Bela IV, king of Hungary. Upon her marriage to the Polish king Boleslaw the Modest she purportedly threw her royal signet into the Maramures salt mines in Hungary, only to have it reappear in yes, the newly discovered salt deposits of Poland. That generous gesture was finally recompensed in 1999 when she was canonized by the late pope John Paul II. There is a chapel in the mines dedicated in her name.

The mines are known for their curative microclimate characterized by bacteriological purity and saturation with beneficial minerals. Treatments focus on respiratory, metabolic diseases, as well as allergies, skin diseases and such.Those particular chambers are 445 feet under.

In the middle ages the salt from the mines apparently was used as legal tender; something we might suggest to Hank Paulson, - would be cheaper than forking over $700 billion, -but that's fait accompli.

Check out the books of scientist adventurre Hatcher Childress of the ancient cities, megaliths etc on each continent. For more exciting armchair exploration go to www.theyfly.com for our origins, and www.enterprisemission.com for ancient cities on Mars and Moon from official original mapping..

My father told me when I was young about the underground cities. When people didn't want to be found they would go into these places. Very interesting.

Somehow, Dr. Mercola missed the world's LARGEST carvern, even if there's nothing in there except cobwebs...the space inside my head bones.

The best to you.

My husband and I visited the salt mine in Poland a few years ago. It is an incredible place. Deep in it's belly there is a huge ballroom carved entirely out of salt - the floor and chandeliers as well as bas reliefs of biblical scenes on the walls. Many statues including the Polish Pope grace nooks throughout. It is used for concerts and weddings,etc.

Throughout the mine are beautifully carved statues. We were told that the miners took to carving mined-out sections in their off hours. It truly has to be seen to be believed!

So odd this should appear here now, along with an episode of Weird USA featuring the Seattle underground area. I'd never heard of it until a week ago when I visited it myself udring a trip to the Pacific Northwest. It is a truly amazing (and frequently disgusting) story, mainly about the handling of sewage in a city built on mud flats, and one bad planning decision after another leading to the modern Seattle of today. Some things never change. LOL

This species we call human never ceases to amaze me. There is nothing we cannot accomplish with the right threshold of agreement. What spectacular feats await in the future, to unfold as visionaries have the courage to put action behind their dreams. Very impressive photographs, Dr. M.! Thanks!
