I saw something about this a while back, it looked amazing… Even if it is completely empty, it looks pretty cool with all those arches and everything…
S Shirley, you jest. 😁🤙
They’re going to find Jimmy Hoffa’s body...
Maybe they’ll find Obama’s birth certificate. 😆
Okay.
I’ve been under the Lincoln memorial twice and never saw vault

(Found in 2007 in Tulsa when a time capsule was opened)
I think one of Nicola Cage’s “National Treasure” movies took place there.
Procon, I thought the same thing. They should drag Geraldo Rivera in and have him do “The Great Reveal”!!! LOL!!
Geraldo is in there............
Been there, done that.
They had tours for a brief period in the 80s.
Fascinating.
There are stalactites from the limestone drippings from the memorial, graffiti from the workers. It is a huge area, because the Memorial was built on swampland and a now buried Tiber River below the water table so it needed a large foundation base.
Back in the early 80’s, I took my two sons to Washington, D.C. for a week. We were visiting the Lincoln Memorial, and I got talking to one of the Park Rangers assigned there. I told him that I had read many books about Lincoln and the assassination, and that I had found a leather bound commemorative book about the laying of the cornerstone for The Lincoln Memorial on a trip to Rhode Island. The book came from the estate of one of the people on the committee to construct the Memorial. I noticed that they had the same book on display inside the Memorial. He told me that if we were interested, they gave tours in the evening under the Memorial. We went back that evening and took the tour. At the time, we didn’t need to purchase an advanced ticket for the tour.
Definitely NOT a secret. I toured this interesting piece of architectural engineering fifty years ago.
