Ancient Tunnels Finally Revealed To The World. What Do They Mean?

Archaeologists working in China recently revealed a series of extensive underground tunnels believed to be thousands of years old.

Researchers working at the ancient stone city of Houchengzui, northern China (Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region), uncovered the extensive network of tunnels thought to be at least 4,300 years old, according to Heritage Daily. The oval-shaped Neolithic city is roughly 341 acres across and home to ancient transportation and defensive networks.

Only six underground tunnel passages have been discovered so far, each between 1.5 and 6 meters depth... They’re also around 1 to 2 meters high, and 1.5 meters wide.

Extensive tunnel systems thought to be thousands, maybe even tens of thousands of years old, have started being uncovered all over the world.

They’re in the Appalachian mountains too. Or so I’ve heard.

Paleostainians occupied the area until they were driven out.

Well done! I was just about to post similar. Minus two letter grades to S. Lee for *not* including him.

In Canada they have tunnels linking buildings so you don’t have to go outside during the winter.

Seeing how this is northern China the people likely built them to stay out of the cold.

Appalachian NC has tunnels that were for people about 4’ tall. And they have found diminutive stone tools.

I think they were tunnels for mining. I don’t know how long they are. I read they pre-dated the American Indians.

There’s a podcast called Appalachian Intelligence that’s got a lot of info. I’ve seen some pretty strange stuff in Middle Tennessee near a mound.
