The illuminati headquarters obviously. Seriously though, it would be a great place to do a dig. There are probably old coins, bottles, "trash" that would be very valuable there for historical artifacts.

A2 Brute? Interesting article. A couple of days late to commemorate the Ides, but still a timely lesson for all. Chalk, I can dig it. LOL

Above ground the fog and cobblestones. Underground the mysterious rooms, scurrying rats and strange broken bottles.

Where's Vincent Price when you need him?

"Rediscovered in 1780, the cavern became a tourist attraction and a venue for wild parties but were closed down hurriedly in 1854 after a "disorderly masked ball".


That must have some party.... ;)

Good place to detonate a terrorist bomb if there's anything of importance above.

Thanks for the ping. I wonder how old the caverns are and what interesting things will be found?

The Lair of the Insidious Dr. Fu Manchu.

It's Quatermass' pit (there were two versions, one for TV, one a Hammer Films production, along with the Penguin edition).

Heh. Just put it in my Netflix queue.

Saw this on Chiller Theater or Zacherly probably 40 years ago. Love those World in Panic! Cities in Flames! films.

Great movie...it really gave me the creeps. So this cave system could be the hive?
