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.

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?

Catacombs! Say catacombs!!

They're delicious, you won't regret it.

Exploration of our subterranea in the same way how exploration of space...

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.

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?)

No i don't mean man-made things like sewers or pavings, but the history of subterranean exploration.

Are you talking about caving? Google "spelunking history".

Do you mean tunneling for purely scientific reasons.

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.

Wow, nothing under ancient spelunking, a pretty scarce subject.

That's funny. When I tried it with the term I suggested, I got this:

http://www.xpeditionsmagazine.com/magazine...key/turkey.html

that site is pretty cool. shows pics of ancient underground city in turkey

Do you mean cave man art or something along the line of Hollow Earth?

I guess hollow earth

unmuseum.um.pa.us/
paranormal.about.com
v-j-enterprises.com
Use google or yahoo and type in "hollow earth". I used yahoo for these.
Search Results 1 - 10 of about 1,320,000 for hollow earth - 0.09 sec.

I just want to know ancient/medieval times

You are going to have to pick and choose what you want.

How about the Catacombs in Paris?
