Man spends years carving secret temples into hillside

"Nestling in the foothills of the Alps in northern Italy, 30 miles from the ancient city of Turin, lies the valley of Valchiusella. Peppered with medieval villages, the hillside scenery is certainly picturesque.
But it is deep underground, buried into the ancient rock, that the region's greatest wonders are concealed."
"Here, 100ft down and hidden from public view, lies an astonishing secret - one that has drawn comparisons with the fabled city of Atlantis and has been dubbed 'the Eighth Wonder of the World' by the Italian government.
For weaving their way underneath the hillside are nine ornate temples, on five levels, whose scale and opulence take the breath away.
Constructed like a three-dimensional book, narrating the history of humanity, they are linked by hundreds of metres of richly decorated tunnels and occupy almost 300,000 cubic feet - Big Ben is 15,000 cubic feet."


It really is quite amazing what some people can do, here is the link to the full story with pictures.

Truly incredible

 

That is astounding!

 

That is cool

 

thats absolutely amazing. This may sound silly, but that gives me hope for mankind.

 

One guy did all this?

 

It was one guy's vision but he had friends helping him do the actual work.

 

Good..... made me feel weak there for a minute.



Wait! I am weak. Never mind.

 

I can't even imagine how many hours that took to create considering the detail and being carved out of solid rock. Wow.

 

Beautiful, thank you very much for sharing!

 

"Stunned by what they had found, the authorities decided to seize the temples on behalf of the government"

wow that sounds like our government kinda doesn't it?

i want to know under what grounds the temples should fall under the gov't maybe they found a roach in there somewhere who knows
​

 

that is amazing!

Worth a visit if you're close by.

 

WOW!!! i am astonished, amazed and lifted... thanks so much for posting this gem!

 

Fucking cool. I'm watching the documentary tonight thanks

 

Thats really incredible. Just goes to show what people can do if they really come together and have the motivation to really do something.

 

Yeah, the whole seizure thing pissed me off too.

Just the fact that they threatened to dynamite the hillside if not shown the temple should perminantly exclude the government, in all it's forms, from having any control over the temple or it's builders that the latter don't cede them.

 

Thank you for sharing this
