I have been there years ago. There is another theory that these are Victorian fakes. They show little sign of habitation, eg remains of stuff or lost things. Which is also why dating them is hard.
- 24gttghh 9y agoThey show little signs now, or they also used to show little sign? The pictures in the article are from what I am assuming are the open-to-the-public section, which is likely swept often.
- justincormack 9y agoNo, down the wells and things, in the cracks, where you expect to find things, not just lying around.
- fabrika 9y agoWhy would they dig a fake 18-level underground city?
- justincormack 9y agotourism seems the obvious answer.

- aaron695 9y agoPeople love to make things underground. There's the famous dude in England who did it during a depression hiring people just cause. Of course perhaps 2000 years ago people were bored and did it for fun too, it could still be historic.

- aaron695 9y agoIt did never make sense to me. 8 kilometer long tunnel, how the heck did you accurately connect it. They told the story but there was not much accuracy of where it was. Baddies come, you hide in the ground, they light fires on top and kill you all or bury you etc. Being in a constrictive space with the enemy outside seemed a bad idea. It's not like bunkers which are used against aerial bombings. Or escape tunnels to go from A to B.
