molo Posted February 12, 2005 #1 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Can anyone help me to find more about ventures in the subterranea in Ancient and Medieval times? As far back as the sewer-complex Sumerians, to Classical Antiquity, to the Medieval times. Books would be helpful, as well as links on the history of subterranean exploration would be helpful. It seems to me that we know more about celestial bodies than the soil beneath our feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfstone810 Posted February 13, 2005 #2 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Hi Molo! I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're looking for. Are you wanting archaeological information about digs at sites that had ancient excavations (such as Knossos?) or are you wanting something about explorations of existing subterranean complexes that date back to ancient times, such as the catacombs in Europe?

Adramaleck Posted February 13, 2005 #5 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Wait - so you want to know about.. okay. Well, some say that stonehenge wasn't a calander, but a geophysical device meant to detect shifts in the earth's crust. Try googling "geophysical stonehenge" or something.. I dunno, I need to get some sleep, I need to be in work in 8 hours. And I still need to sleep. There's mention of it in the book "The Atlantis Blueprint"... I'll search for some links tomorrow.

Elfstone810 Posted February 13, 2005 #6 Share Posted February 13, 2005 I'm sorry, I still don't know what you're talking about. I understand there's quite a network of old sewers and paved over creeks and things under London. Is that the sort of thing you mean? (Where did Stonehenge come into this?)

molo Posted February 13, 2005 Author #7 Share Posted February 13, 2005 No i don't mean man-made things like sewers or pavings, but the history of subterranean exploration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfstone810 Posted February 13, 2005 #8 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Are you talking about caving? Google "spelunking history". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
final flight Posted February 13, 2005 #9 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Do you mean tunneling for purely scientific reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adramaleck Posted February 14, 2005 #10 Share Posted February 14, 2005 I guess Stonehenge came in because I thought he was asking about ancients exploring the earth below our feet, but I really dont know what hes asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
