Somebody had a lot of fun making a visual mess of the pictures and video. What about art historical analysis of the art work. Tell us what kind of stone these caves are carved from please. And suppose these were natural caves to begin with and were only modified? That would go a long way to explain the "missing" tons of stone. Also, if the carving was all done with hammers and chissles, the rubble would be very small size chips, dumped into the nearby river, and lost to time by silt and flood. Are the pillars cut from stalegtites?
I don't think the video mentioned one of the most mind-bending aspects of this, which is that several of the 24 known caverns are super-close to each other to where the carved-out chambers are separated by uncarved rock wall that is only a few inches thick. This makes me question the cistern theory. Why would they need the chambers to stay apart if it was water storage? If it WAS cisterns, then wouldn't boring chambers so close to each other in different caverns put the whole project at risk, due to the weight of the water against rock that you've thinned out? Anyhow. Each cavern on its own is a marvel. 24 (or more) of them in a planned architecture is beyond marvelous and creeps right up on the uncanny.
But if the chambers were linked, the water would balance pressure from both sides. So not linked is more risky.....but water always finds its own level , the water table, so as long as only one didn't flood suddenly ( which is unlikely, them being so close together ) all is ok.
I've seen something like this before. It was in Mexico, but very similar. the cavern was excavated to quarry a certain type of rock without having to remove the overburden. (Slight detour on the story.) Today, because we have modern excavation equipment we remove the overburden to access the material that we need, but in ancient times that overburden represented an insurmountable obstacle. They may have removed tens of thousands of tons of material, but the overburden is hundreds or thousands of times more massive. Much more than they could have easily removed. It only makes sense under the circumstances to tunnel down and then extract what what you need. This is the reason that they can't find a spoils pile. My guess is that if you date the cave and then look for state buildings constructed at around that time period you'll find your "spoils", probably elaborately carved with impressive for the time architecture. The drainage is also a necessity of a mine, the inability to evacuate water will render the mine useless, therefore considerable time and effort is spent making a drainage system capable of handling even the most robust floods. Afterwards you are left with these huge galleries made of the very same desirable stone that you extracted. Some enterprising individual, or perhaps many enterprising individuals continued the excavation to give it a more artful appearance. The regularity of the pillars are dictated by the cultural understanding of the characteristics of the stone and what was known of its structural capacity by the builders. You see similar structures in opal mines in Australia, support pillars composed of the strata they are digging for opals. Still, it is an impressive feat. Cutting stone is an art in and of itself. I do wish they had shown a close up of the walls in high definition so I could see what method of cutting they used. For the time period I'm betting that they carved parallel shafts, then bored a multitude of small gauge holes down into the rock across what will become a shearing face. They then filled the holes with a mixture of plant fibers and sand, packed it tight with a hammer and punch, then submerged the bore holes and let the expansion of the plant fibers spilt the rock away from the face. There are however a number of variations on this method, some of them quite ingenious. Insofar as the dimensions and apparent closeness to sister mines, never underestimate the power of a man with a string and a stick. I can show you how to make a perfectly flat surface with a piece of string and three wood blocks, how to make perfect 90 degree angles with a piece of string and three pegs and how to produce perfect angles of whatever degree you would like with a string and a stick. By comparison, measuring is simple. People are reliant upon technology today, but in ages past they were similarly accurate with much simpler tools.
@@jackmcbee3762 Awesome. I wasn't implying that there was anything supernatural at work here, or time travelers or whatever, just amazed at a display of ingenuity that would be super-impressive in ANY Age of Man. Given that I know nothing about bore-mining or quarrying of any sort, your explanation sounds as plausible as any other--more plausible than many. But temper that with the fact that I have no way of knowing without heavy research whether or not you just made all that up. I'm assuming you didn't, though. There remains a lack of evidence as to where the extracted stone went: there remain no state building from that time, and it would seem that the entire project was scrubbed from the records which is how it ended up lost in the first place. But the lack of stone leavings has never bothered me here because water is pretty good at obscuring things and the stone could have literally "disappeared" in any body of water more than 8 feet deep, then over the course of the last 3000 years or so had silt build up obscure it further. As far as the boring methods go, there are other videos (of higher fidelity and closer shots) that get right up on some of the unsculpted walls and ceiling, and those might hold some clue that I'm too unlearned to recognize. There are uniform grooves that separate each section of wall and ceiling diggings in a sort of series of troughs, if that shines any more light on it.
@@ScorpIron58 I was assuming (and am still assuming) that the separation of the chambers means that water was not filling them all at the same rate, nor from the same source, which is where the pressure risk comes from.
Why does everyone avoid showing the bas relief sculptures on the walls ? They get all squishy about the tool marks … but never show in detail the pictures the builders cut into the walls .
@@beyondreamtime420 Then say that . Tell us when and why . Show them doing it … they must have video . And why carve huge figures on a wall few people are going to see ? Is it covering up something the CCP is afraid of ? I have questions …
For those wondering about the carvings, I filmed the footage used in this video when documenting the site several years ago…the carvings have all been added in recent times by the Chinese government as well cutting through the walls to connect the caves and adding/changing many other features of the original site. I’ll link my original video this footage is from. This was a great video! *I was unaware at the time the carvings were not original LONGYOU CAVES MYSTERY - CHINA th-cam.com/video/uSWIn927qL0/w-d-xo.html
During the Younger Dryas period Meteorites were striking the earth. The people at the time, started going underground. You find over 36 underground cities in Turkey. I believe there are more underground cities around the world.
That's what the scientist say but if you read the All the narratives written in all the clay tablets and all over the planet it wasn't meteorites something much more malicious
When the media asked Oppenheimer if this is the first time a nuclear bomb had ever been created My first response was to why would you ask that question unless you knew something and his response was this is the first bomb of this type in the modern era
The underground cities were created in an attempt to survive the flood seven cities that went underground I'm pretty sure didn't make it I have a theory that says they're going to finally figure out how the pyramids in Egypt work get down into those chambers and gond hundreds of dead bodies according to what we have there were two cultures we know that talked about building a boat that was China and the Jews and they potentially are the descendants of ham and the Jews are the descendants of Noah just remember him Ham's wife no not so much of course then here I guess he was a little strange too that was the the Orion bloodline surviving with flood through the line of ham
I think the grove marks would have served two purposes: 1) increase the surface area of the walls and ceilings they've been carved into to increase strength of those structures; 2) the groves might serve as crack stops. If a crack were to form on the surface of the wall or ceiling, it wouldn't propagate very far before running into a ridge, which would stop it's progression.
In India there are water reservoirs that have stairs so people can reach the water at whatever level it is at. So that supports the cistern hypothesis.
It's baffling to me, that people still think these megalithic marvels were somehow constructed by the primitive ancestors of our current civilization. Many of which, we still can't replicate today. I did still enjoy the video and the curiosity it may ignite. Thank you for taking the time to create it 🙏
In the recent western history of the United States men were mining into the 1920s with hammers and pickaxes. Why is it so hard to give humans credit for their labor. Too much science fiction on TV these days is skewing your view.
I don't like the word primitive. It is proven that people from ancient times were much more skilled than was believed by historians at the start of the 1900's. We know the egyptians had the building skils and mathematical skills to build the pyramids. And othe civilisations had much greater knowledge and skills than thought before. The Aztecs had astronomical knowledge that weren't seen again before the nineteenth or twentieth century. Knowledge that was lost, and then rediscovered. Many things have been discovered or invented more than once in history. Knowledge and skills are constantly being gained and lost. And so it has always been. Oh, we certainly could replicate these ancient wonders with today's technology, but we wouldn't bother wasting the time, effort, and use of resources to do it. It simply isn't worth it in modern society. The question is what was so important to these ancient peoples that they did it. When it comes to the pyramids, we know. They were burial places for the pharaos. But when it comes to other places like this cave, we don't know. My money would be on the Cistern theory. But why then, all the rooms, with rounded door openings. And the decorations seems unnecessary. unless they had a religious meaning.
The pyramid's were for fresh water and electricity humans aren't coming up with new ideas we are just rediscovering what was already done we haven't come up with anything new in millions of years we say aliens came to us but it wasn't aleins, it always was us. One day man will figure that out! The only aliens were the Angels God sent to help us and guide us 🙏 ❤
The carvings on the walls were added recently. I lived in China, and saw carvings like these when I was climbing Mt. Laoshan, a sacred mountain near Qingdao.
True, Ai made video? 2nd around 13min saying why their no information about it hmm maybe because we keep warring our self an Destroy all information.. how much information or technology is lost in Major wars.? Sounds to me who being call a Scientists is stupid! Watch lot these videos lot disinformation which make it how willing are you to look into and Research.for the truth?? So far at this point in this video I'm done. I see another one I'm blocking it..
They don't know anything about them, but somehow can pin-down the Han Dynasty? How does the water interact with the stone. More answers, I believe, would come in determining the origin of the pond and how long it's been a pond, what sheds feed it, if any. Anyway I'm a big subscriber to the cycles of magnetic excursions, which are believed to be triggered by the Sun (micronova), last one being 12,000y ago. These caves seem like an appropriate response.
Megalithic civilization built these, modern history denies their existence, but their buildings are here and will last longer than our expert's explanations. Human history goes far more back and far more different than what today's experts try to sell us!
Historians do NOT deny their existence - what they do say is that there is no observable evidence that a massively technological single culture existed, then spread that over the world. To state that these civilisations could NOT do this by themselves is both prejudiced and racist from a western eye.
used for ceramics at in pottery etc, thats why no materials are found outside, so lamps were not used because it would blacken the pottery, and the chisel marks indicate harvesting of material needed small pieces for easier crushing. A similar thing happened in the champagne district of France where limestone was mined, leaving all the caves un discoved for 5 centuries, and now used for wine storage - ta da.
Yes. I think you missed the fact that water storage facilities like this one had stairs so that the water would be accessible no matter how low the water level got in there.
Two things didn't get mentioned... 1. What are the acoustic properties inside each complex. It could have a function similar to the grand gallery in the pyramid. Those carved lines could be to tune or resonate certain frequencies. Maybe nobody resided in there because it could have had an industrial use, rather than a shelter. 2. No mention of the artwork on the walls you keep showing thru out your presentation. What type of animals are being depicted. What type of clothing is being worn. Clues to time periods. Keep up the good work!
The Han dynasty doesn't have any records because the Han dynasty had no role in building it. I think they caves are pre flood, well pre flood. As for the tool marks, they indicate what equipment was used to carve them. This was a mechanized effort, NOT done by hand IMO.
So you guys have been there and examined the markings? Making up facts to support your predetermined hypothesis is not a way of solving something this mysterious.
I think these caves are made by Ancient British men who traveled. There is no way ancient chinese are so intelligent to build something as complex as this. Take a look at the Stonehinge.
@@sheldonwheaton881 yes, the electric universe? I wonder what the difference is between the sparks that we are using and say, what was being harnessed and used by the Old World buildings and people. Don't believe they had electrical outlets in those fantastic places.? But maybe we just don't know what we are looking at.
Yes. You don’t create electricity. Electromagnetic fields exist naturally and are believed to be caused by the gravitational force of the earth. We harness that power and transmit it by conduction on different type of cables. Copper, aluminum, etc.
@@mikethomp1440Isnt elecrticity universal? Every atom has positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. No? So whats all this about the earth?
I submit that the Longyou cave network "may" have been built as a shelter for a group of people from CME or an asteroid strike, or some other natural disaster. And possibly even from war. Thanks for sharing.
The carvings of dragons, fairies, dancing scenes etc are obviously done by people who don’t know anything about the importance of preserving the ancient ruins as they are. In so doing they had done irreversible damages to these relics.
Cisterns. The markings on the wall are for water level, obviously. Either for irrigation or drinking purposes, you need to plan ahead. Especially in times of drought.
The Egyptian Pyramids and Tombs of the Pharaohs also have no residue of torches. They discovered the builders had Bagdad Batteries and a type of light bulb they used! Did this "Atlantean" knowledge reach China at the same time frame of 10,000 years ago when the last major calamity occurred on Earth?! We have suspicions that 10,000 years ago the Earth went through an extinction event that very few survived from. The entire Atlantean Society was destroyed. Some survivors made it to Nubian lands and what we now call Egypt. Could some have also been in the lands we now call China as well? I think so!
They were probably built using the same exact technology and equipment that built some, most or all of the other megalithic structures around the world.
All the surface final finish was done by specialists using hand tools, for acoustics and looks, like even today many places are finished by hand, even the Opera house.
@@arsenelupiniii8040 yes, the one that gets me is the one that made the scoop Marks, it's everywhere and I can't help but think that it would look like an excavator. Rock softening agents? Soo many questions.
i think that these caves were underground dwellings for people looking to survive the massive world changes that were happening above ground. Our whole understanding of global resets has been removed from history so we are still taught a "linear" line of progression at school. I think we've been technically advanced many, many times in the past and saying that electricity wasn't invented back then is just naive in my opinion. If we all had access to the library and vaults in and around the Vatican then maybe we would find records of people in the past moving underground for survival. We're all aware of pole shifts and the huge disturbances caused by natural disasters...we've probably done it quite a few times in our human history. We no doubt had help as the "Gods" that made us were sympathetic to our needs at the time. We were made to work for them so there were many hybrids who were lucky to inherit sacred knowledge that would then be kept within that family forever. I do believe that the families alive today with a lot of power have retained their bloodlines to ensure this knowledge is kept a secret from us all. There are answers to these mysteries but the result of us learning them would shatter the world view we all have and I'm sure most would not be able to deal with it well. The way we live is very immature compared to our ancient ancestors...they were highly intelligent and lived in harmony...something we all still dream about as I believe we know it's all possible. Today's world is an illusion that's been made to make money and money only...hence the problems.
If they were smart enough they would no need electricity. Sound can create a variable of unique features. Take this sound can break glass, what else can this sound harnessed do. It messes up peoples minds drives you crazy break rocks smoothen surfaces ahh! Sound harnessed can what? Move water etc. water cuts stone it goes on and on.
I agree - our history is not linear. They say "modern" humans have been around for at least 300k years. Modern humans would not be satisfied with cave life for 300k years. We are innovators, creators. All these other humanoids older than us were other variations of different times after different disasters. The powers that be seem to want to hide our actual human history from us... Why? What is their intention and motive for doing so. What are they trying to hide that is bigger than what they are hiding? If that makes sense... That's the bigger question...
Hench why the elite have to b taken down and their business split up in a way that no one can have that sort of power again, we , our kids r being lied to and it's becoming more and more obvious every day , hence the censor ship around any narrative
You asked at the end, "Did I miss something?" Why was no consideration given to the carvings of images on the cave walls and pillars? Were there any clues in those images that could tell us who built the cave and when? Were the carvings added later? I don't understand why the carved images are completely overlooked in this video?
From before the flood. The flood from Noah’s arc is a retelling of the one from the epic of Gilgamesh is a retelling of the one from (I forget the name) from the Zoroastrianism religion, which is probably a retelling from thousands, or even 10’s of thousands, of years before that. But there WAS a flood, and it wiped out all the information and knowledge and displaced everybody. That’s why none of this stuff is in any records.
Maybe the caves were built during China's culture revolution as one of Mao's strange manoeuvres and a formidable way to subdue his enemies, let them chisle and don't tell anyone.
Lighting in caves is easy with precisely placed mirrors or reflective surfaces. One large beam of light can be split into many smaller beams in many directions. The caves are most likely about 13,000 years ago and no one knew about it because no one survived the cataclysm and made them lost to begin with.
No that's actually not true. You don't watch any actual science channels do you. Sudo archaeologists will make you look stupid. Lighting a cave with mirrors does not work. You cannot reflect light infinitely.
I have Heard this theory, using mirrors as a light source. I have yet to see any real application as a viable means of this method. I would like to see it done. I think it would be very limited in its scope
The magnitude and size alone would be justification enough to be recorded if it was done within record history. You just don’t build something like this and not say why or a God damn word. It only makes sense if the original builders disappeared unexpectedly in the distant past so to some kind of event and the region over time was repopulated by other ethnicities. Is that so difficult to come to terms with?
The patterns on the wall are the result of the way you remove stone with a chisel. You cut parallel grooves, then cut across between the grooves. Loose stone was a valuable commodity. It may have been taken long distances to be used in roads or foundations.
They were built a lot longer ago than your poor assumption suggests. There was no record kept at that time as the process was meaningless. They did not use hammers or chisels as they had much simpler methods for removing the stone which could be done with very few people involved. There are more megalithic structures waiting to be found.
They were not made by an ancient advanced civilisation and some records have been found that mention their original use as storage halls, built by Emperor Xuan of the Western Han Dynasty, who built them as storage warehouses for centrally managed, secure storage in the border counties. No pumps, they flooded, game over.
Interesting. It seems like you missed a conversation about the carved illustrations depicting the people... Who were they? What were they doing? Nobody carves artwork like that in a cistern.
This is an underground quarry with the parallel lines the layers of blocks cut out. This is not unusual since where I live we still cut blocks this way to build houses. It can be done because the rock is soft limestone that you can cut with a knife but on exposure to air hardens like rock. In fact our stone masons shape arches and decorations for our churches with an adze and a rough file and cut the blocks with a saw to make key stones. The City of Bath in the UK is built from oolitic limestone rock cut from underground quarries beneath the hills surrounding the town and the rock was exported for building churches and other public buildings throughout Southern England. Oolitic limestone comes from long ago sea beds and is made up of the shells of dead sea creatures and so is found in many parts of the World.
@@JessicajilThey were just added by the idiotic Chinese government in a bid to claim them as ancient Chinese. They didn't care that they were desecrating what maybe 11 thousand years old. Ignore the carvings.
Just saw a video about ancient China and it mentioned a dynasty called the Xia dynasty that is supposedly viewed being mostly mythical rather than real according to the video. Apparently the progenitor and leader of that dynasty rose to his position by solving the issue of the yellow river flooding by building canals to move the water either to the oceans or fields. Sometime around 2100-1600 bc. Maybe this could have something to do with that?
Erlitou is considered the best candidate for the Xia. I keep hoping the Shang will cough up some actual records, other than those cracked tortoise shells. Which are nice to have; they prove the Shang existed. But we got bupkes for the Xia.
You keep talking about sophisticated works - but mentioning that the people who did it are primitive. These people were more sophisticated that we are ❤
If its limestone, which it appears to be, that is purely natural as limestone is porous, and so the level may fluctuate quite a lot. What seems to be missing, is any stalagmites/tites which are normally found in limestone caves (which makes me doubt their antiquity TBH.
My take: the caves were not built from bottom up. They were built from top down. The horizontal banding shows depth and this seems to have been roughly standardized. 16:17 to 16:43 carved wall art was carved when floor was more or less level with bottom of wall carved design - even if these were made one at a time. I think designers and workers had no extent of the build they were about to make and so the design was a living design. It happened at the time it was needed and did not depend on architectural drawings made in an office somewhere over there (points over there) So I think the story of how they were built should start at entry level and consider roof-wise build and design separately from ground-wise build. A linear step-by-step process with regularity based on height of humans building it and properties of tools they were using to build it. My guess is that they probably filled with water rendering them unfit for use. Then gradually these things gradually drifted from memory with satisfaction and relief
I was raised in the suburbs of Johannesburg, and in the 1960's, an underground reservoir was built about 3 or 4 miles from where I lived. I couldn't help thinking about it on seeing this video, because it was so similar. It was modern, so it was built with concrete, of course, and the walls were flat, not ridged, but it was huge, and fascinating to me, because I made recordings of its accoustics. I could sing an arpeggio - C, E, G, C - each note for about a second, and the echo produced the arpeggio chord, which was audible for more than a minute. What I wanted to say about it is that it was not built for the public to see - I saw it during construction, because there was a big hole in the side of the hill that it was built ionto, where lorries (trucks to the American readers) could go in and out to carry the spoil away - and I'm sure that there were plans lodged somewhere in some company archive - but if it was discovered by some historian or archiologist in 1,000 years' time, it's quite likely they would not find any record if it. If the Longyou caves had been built as a residence for an emperor, or as something to attract tourism, then there would certainly be records - but a water reservoir? I don't find it surprising at all that there are no records if, indeed, that was their purpose.
@@DownhillAllTheWay my I got it now, I have gained new insight from drawings about the caves. I believe u were right on point. I believe they were reservoirs.
@DownhillAllTheWay I get ur point. Bkuz, if I were to build emperial sized reservoirs, why would I leave a journal about my excavation adventures for the next generation to muddle over.
@@kegapa No - I'm not suggesting that these were reservoirs - maybe they were, but I have no idea what they were used for. However, they reminded me of the reservoir that I saw under cionstruction when I was a teenager, and I related the incident and the feeling of being there, and the accoustics inside it.
I gotta be honest... this just looks like subterranean quarry. I would look more into the material itself. What makes it unique? It looks to me like they may have had a greater purpose, but abandoned the project for whatever reason.
All the carvings were added by the Chinese government recently which has damaged the original structure of the site unfortunately. This footage is from my video I filmed there several years ago. You can see more of the site, but at the time I was unaware of the carvings being recent - LONGYOU CAVES MYSTERY - CHINA th-cam.com/video/uSWIn927qL0/w-d-xo.html
26:44 What I believe you're missing is you do not discuss about the writings or the carvings on the walls that are quite ornate and detailed. What did they show and represent?
A cistern is still the most logical choice. It probably had stairs because "I'm carving rock anyway, may as well make it easier for me to get up and down." It could have taken years and years to carve out. So, stairs make perfect sense. The chisel marks could have made the cistern last a long time. Has anyone looked into the hydrodynamics of the cave?
Answer to your question: The Longyou caves like many other megalithic structures scattered around the world where built by the descendants of a people that had suffered PTSD as a result of a traumatic incident that happened during their lifetime namely; The Flood. This incident killed every person on the planet except for the survivors that were saved to repopulate the planet. Humans by nature will go into a self preserving mode when confronted with a cataclysmic event. Especially an event that is beyond human control. It started with the "Tower of Babel". After the great deluge, humans like we always do said "never again!' and they tried building a massive project (Giza?) that would allow them escape the next flood. That effort was thwarted, and humans were dispersed across the earth, resulting in the Great Migration out of Africa. Where ever they went the took with them the horrors of the flood and the need for self preservation. In short the Longyou caves were underground shelters that were built (much like the modern doomsday shelters that rich people have constructed recently) to protect against the next flood event. This would explain the "cistern like" nature of the caves, the drainages and the steps in case the water level was getting higher. The lines on the walls would allow survivors to constantly gauge how much water was coming in and how long before the caves was completely submerged. Given the megalithic structures built by their parents that were lost to the flood, these newer generation still had and knew the "old technology" and utilized it to build "flood shelters" that are literally littered across the face of the earth. We would do the same if a Nuclear holocaust had annihilated every one but a few from the face of the earth. This was about Self preservation.
Of course cisterns have stairs. Wells in Isreal and India of the same time period have them. When the water level goes lower you need to be able to access it.
Unfortunately you are all over the shop. They are not chisel marks on the roof and the walls, try machine marks, and the reason the roof is rippled Was because they desired that affect through the machine they used. The reason no one heard about the Longyou caves was the fact that it probably goes back 10,000 years . At least 3 1/2 million tons removed and completely disappeared. And your hypothesis is chisel marks.😊 .
In my opinion these caves were built by an ancient civilization, than in ancient time, a king or something discovered and had it repurposed and carved with more modern iconography. The original construction was most likely built for practice purposes and didn’t need no carving nor ornaments.
It's crazy really crazy that they're always trying to pass off this shit with their textbook way of archeology it's almost like they all forgot what archeology and science and everything else is actually starting from imagination
This cave system was obviously made from primitive hunter-gatherers way before they learned agriculture. And when they make statements like the one I just typed they stop using their imagination and no longer are they doing their jobs.
If you re a settled archeologist who has always said it's "abc" , your prestige and ego is at risk when telling "didly" all of a sudden and your "abc" was wrong aparantly.
How do you get water out of the cistern if you got no stairs? Look at cisterns in India: You got stairs going around the entire rim. Same in south america. Seriously, this video fails on many levels, beginning with the most basic ones. Like: Why build big structure during wars. Alexander built a dam towards Tyre. Cesar built 2 walls & ditches around Alesia. Building stuff is standard procedure for armies. There is not just the engineers corps but even the Seabees in the USN cause the USA recognized the need for wartime construction. So: Videomaker got no clue about anything.
You asked at the end if you had missed something and I think you have (sort of). So put me in the camp of cistern believers. You showed pictures of some of the outlets in the hillside like at 7:13 in the video. Has anyone traced these outlets to see if they weren't connected to some sort of aqueduct or irrigation system? Also, who knows if these caves were dug out of solid rock? Natural caves of all sizes are found around the world. Could it be these caves were already there but much smaller and irregular and the minors went in them to square them up and make them a functional cistern? If you are in an area experiencing a severe drought and you find something like a spring of water coming out of a hillside wouldn't you explore it extensively. Especially if it means finding a water source for yourself and family perhaps livestock and irrigation for crops. Then finding the caves. With their knowledge those caves could be expanded as insurance for the next season of drought. It snows in China. Sometimes pretty bad. Those cisterns(caves) could have been engineered to catch the runoff from the melting snow and ice and the occasional rainfall that occurred at the time.
imagine that this insane "man made" (most likely) cave system was found on pure happenstance, and because someone was just stubborn and wanted to finally get to the bottom of the stories. that's it. pure luck we have this today. I mean just imagine what else is right under our feet.
The Children’s memorial at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem demonstrates how the light of one candle can be refracted and amplified enormously. That’s not such a mystery.
You didn't really talk any about the carvings. It looks to me like they are mostly left blank for future carving and would have been a Temple or a Tomb. The flatness and lines would maybe aid in making large carvings. They might have had a more crude way of removing large portions and the chisel marks are from the finishing or smoothing out, they probably wouldn't have removed all material with a chisel. Also they could have found existing caves and just expanded them in areas that had the softer sandstone
there were tall blonde haired people living in what is known as china but the chinese do not want to talk about this much, as if they always lived on their land. maybe the tall blondes were responsible for the pyramids & these cisterns as well as many other things in china or maybe even people before the blondes. the chinese only recorded their own history.
You said it yourself. They were giants, and they had old knowledge that humans never had, plus their great strength. So many people would not have said there were giants, if there were no giants. That would make no sense at all.
Who knows how old the caves might be, the art can be put a long time after. This doesn't even look like man made. Only god knows what kind of people and when they were building this cave.
there is no debri,s.. a machine carved them out or a lazer. the cuts look the same as a coal wheel machine.. rotating. these are the same world wide.. kailash temple is the same, hewn from a granite hill with no burden..
There's a basalt cave system in California - one immigrant man dug it out himself, over his lifetime. He didn't say where he was from but he said that his people were very experienced at this style of cave construction.
i agree, just like the carved and drilled stones at the pyramids in egypt, they had some sort of machinery that has been taken and hidden. to carve or drill through stone you need some kind of powerful machinery.🤔🤔🤔🤔
Thank you for this video. These rock shelters or caves were a natural hiding spot during very bad weather conditions but also a surviving place during the most dramatic event in the history of mankind. That is the crossing of planet 9 that occurs every few thousand years. That planet 9 is orbiting our sun in an eccentric orbit so it crosses close to our sun at a very high speed. Due to the gravitational force it causes a huge tidal wave, storms, rains, flooding and earthquakes in unprecedented amounts and a bombardment of fiery meteors. Only people who are in a shelter with a very strong roof, a mountain above your head will do, survive this disaster. In those caves they recorded messages for us. That they were human, many, by printing the hands. A spiral is the first sign of the approaching planet. A square cross is a closer planet and hands up means that they are frightened. That planet is sometimes presented as an aggressive animal with big teeth. The event occurs in seven days. Another result of the cycle of disasters is a cycle of civilizations. They emerge and vanish according to a fixed schedule. This is ancient knowledge that is available for everyone who is searching for it but that is forgotten, neglected or denied by all scientists. Abundant and convincing evidence about this cycle of natural disasters and its timeline and many images are available in the eBook: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". Search: nibiru = 9
These caves were constructed when sea levels were 400meters lower then they are today. The caves lines are like a record player providing a story to be told when the right styles is found.
This Video is Way Better ( and longer ) Than what you see on the History Channel !!!! Thanks Soo Much ! Next Get Some People to dig in some of those Pyramids. That Would be Even More Fantastic!!!! 👋😁👍👈😎👌
Those parallel lines cutting might have been made to make the walls stronger. This hiding place for the army might not have been used ever as the soldiers might have been killed in a war before using the underground fort.
@@0Apostata0 for all we know, there could've been some sort of cover on them, or those openings were added after the disaster, when they started using it as a water cistern.🤷🏽♂️ It wouldn't take much for them to think of the alternative use, as they were crafting the caves, and designed them to be able to make such an adjustment.
Consider that the intelligence early in the fall of man included telepathy and teleconnections, and all of the beings at the early times of the fall of man had photographic memories. You don't need to make a list when you have a photographic memory. There is a possibility that information was stored in atoms, crystals, or some other substance in digital or other form that we have yet to find because we have not thought to look for it. We may advance in understanding ways to leave records that cannot be seen by the naked eye. The beings of this time understood the way of record keeping, which we have yet to discover. However, they understood that there was digression and that things were being lost with the passing of time. Symbols are a universal language and could be put into stones that would survive millions of years to leave a record of their life and culture.
Gobekli Tepe is the craziest shit I’ve ever come across. Could be 15k years old and the fact we have unearthed 8% working diligently is crazy. To have buried it even crazier. To think we’re gonna die and never get answers most likely drives me nuts.
you did miss something very important:. you never explained what the relief carvings were and when they were made. much of your imagery shows relief carvings on the walls and columns, but you never address this imagery / carvings, and who made the relief carvings. i can only assume that these are modern and that you somehow assumed we already must know that?.. but the complete lack of caveat in this video is disappointing. how would i know that?
dude, these filters youre running while trying to show the pictures.. dumb. don't do that. Its awful.
The entire video is dumb.
Yes they are actually trying to attach to your benevolence because they don't have one or reverence too.
They actually call themselves a breakaway civilkizations are actually these criminals using the resources of the planet to the negative ecology and weapons making fooldogitry.

Mignature is the best and only interesting thing
He is slowing his voice down. Kids, please do not do that. We, the listener, can tell. No more than 2% up or down.
Somebody had a lot of fun making a visual mess of the pictures and video. What about art historical analysis of the art work. Tell us what kind of stone these caves are carved from please. And suppose these were natural caves to begin with and were only modified? That would go a long way to explain the "missing" tons of stone. Also, if the carving was all done with hammers and chissles, the rubble would be very small size chips, dumped into the nearby river, and lost to time by silt and flood. Are the pillars cut from stalegtites?
I don't think the video mentioned one of the most mind-bending aspects of this, which is that several of the 24 known caverns are super-close to each other to where the carved-out chambers are separated by uncarved rock wall that is only a few inches thick. This makes me question the cistern theory. Why would they need the chambers to stay apart if it was water storage? If it WAS cisterns, then wouldn't boring chambers so close to each other in different caverns put the whole project at risk, due to the weight of the water against rock that you've thinned out? Anyhow. Each cavern on its own is a marvel. 24 (or more) of them in a planned architecture is beyond marvelous and creeps right up on the uncanny.
But if the chambers were linked, the water would balance pressure from both sides. So not linked is more risky.....but water always finds its own level , the water table, so as long as only one didn't flood suddenly ( which is unlikely, them being so close together ) all is ok.
I've seen something like this before. It was in Mexico, but very similar. the cavern was excavated to quarry a certain type of rock without having to remove the overburden.
(Slight detour on the story.) Today, because we have modern excavation equipment we remove the overburden to access the material that we need, but in ancient times that overburden represented an insurmountable obstacle. They may have removed tens of thousands of tons of material, but the overburden is hundreds or thousands of times more massive. Much more than they could have easily removed. It only makes sense under the circumstances to tunnel down and then extract what what you need. This is the reason that they can't find a spoils pile. My guess is that if you date the cave and then look for state buildings constructed at around that time period you'll find your "spoils", probably elaborately carved with impressive for the time architecture. The drainage is also a necessity of a mine, the inability to evacuate water will render the mine useless, therefore considerable time and effort is spent making a drainage system capable of handling even the most robust floods.
Afterwards you are left with these huge galleries made of the very same desirable stone that you extracted. Some enterprising individual, or perhaps many enterprising individuals continued the excavation to give it a more artful appearance. The regularity of the pillars are dictated by the cultural understanding of the characteristics of the stone and what was known of its structural capacity by the builders. You see similar structures in opal mines in Australia, support pillars composed of the strata they are digging for opals.
Still, it is an impressive feat. Cutting stone is an art in and of itself. I do wish they had shown a close up of the walls in high definition so I could see what method of cutting they used. For the time period I'm betting that they carved parallel shafts, then bored a multitude of small gauge holes down into the rock across what will become a shearing face. They then filled the holes with a mixture of plant fibers and sand, packed it tight with a hammer and punch, then submerged the bore holes and let the expansion of the plant fibers spilt the rock away from the face. There are however a number of variations on this method, some of them quite ingenious.
Insofar as the dimensions and apparent closeness to sister mines, never underestimate the power of a man with a string and a stick. I can show you how to make a perfectly flat surface with a piece of string and three wood blocks, how to make perfect 90 degree angles with a piece of string and three pegs and how to produce perfect angles of whatever degree you would like with a string and a stick. By comparison, measuring is simple. People are reliant upon technology today, but in ages past they were similarly accurate with much simpler tools.
@@jackmcbee3762 Awesome. I wasn't implying that there was anything supernatural at work here, or time travelers or whatever, just amazed at a display of ingenuity that would be super-impressive in ANY Age of Man. Given that I know nothing about bore-mining or quarrying of any sort, your explanation sounds as plausible as any other--more plausible than many. But temper that with the fact that I have no way of knowing without heavy research whether or not you just made all that up. I'm assuming you didn't, though. There remains a lack of evidence as to where the extracted stone went: there remain no state building from that time, and it would seem that the entire project was scrubbed from the records which is how it ended up lost in the first place. But the lack of stone leavings has never bothered me here because water is pretty good at obscuring things and the stone could have literally "disappeared" in any body of water more than 8 feet deep, then over the course of the last 3000 years or so had silt build up obscure it further. As far as the boring methods go, there are other videos (of higher fidelity and closer shots) that get right up on some of the unsculpted walls and ceiling, and those might hold some clue that I'm too unlearned to recognize. There are uniform grooves that separate each section of wall and ceiling diggings in a sort of series of troughs, if that shines any more light on it.
@@ScorpIron58 I was assuming (and am still assuming) that the separation of the chambers means that water was not filling them all at the same rate, nor from the same source, which is where the pressure risk comes from.
Clearly not because they were full of water for gods knows how long. 😂
Why does everyone avoid showing the bas relief sculptures on the walls ?
They get all squishy about the tool marks … but never show in detail the pictures the builders cut into the walls .
Carvings are fake, they were added after excavation by the CCP.

And why carve huge figures on a wall few people are going to see ?
Is it covering up something the CCP is afraid of ?

That was my question too! Did the government add them later ? Is it a cheat for tourists?
@@nicholasklangos9704 add on latter
For those wondering about the carvings, I filmed the footage used in this video when documenting the site several years ago…the carvings have all been added in recent times by the Chinese government as well cutting through the walls to connect the caves and adding/changing many other features of the original site.

LONGYOU CAVES MYSTERY - CHINA
th-cam.com/video/uSWIn927qL0/w-d-xo.html
During the Younger Dryas period Meteorites were striking the earth. The people at the time, started going underground. You find over 36 underground cities in Turkey. I believe there are more underground cities around the world.
Also nuclear wars were raging
@@gertrudevanvoorden1416 Wow interesting that you think that.
That's what the scientist say but if you read the All the narratives written in all the clay tablets and all over the planet it wasn't meteorites something much more malicious
When the media asked Oppenheimer if this is the first time a nuclear bomb had ever been created My first response was to why would you ask that question unless you knew something and his response was this is the first bomb of this type in the modern era
The underground cities were created in an attempt to survive the flood seven cities that went underground I'm pretty sure didn't make it I have a theory that says they're going to finally figure out how the pyramids in Egypt work get down into those chambers and gond hundreds of dead bodies according to what we have there were two cultures we know that talked about building a boat that was China and the Jews and they potentially are the descendants of ham and the Jews are the descendants of Noah just remember him Ham's wife no not so much of course then here I guess he was a little strange too that was the the Orion bloodline surviving with flood through the line of ham
I think the grove marks would have served two purposes: 1) increase the surface area of the walls and ceilings they've been carved into to increase strength of those structures; 2) the groves might serve as crack stops. If a crack were to form on the surface of the wall or ceiling, it wouldn't propagate very far before running into a ridge, which would stop it's progression.
Haha Well that is the most logical, practical theory there is . And totally correct!
In India there are water reservoirs that have stairs so people can reach the water at whatever level it is at. So that supports the cistern hypothesis.
Liar.
@@markuse3472 🤣🤣🤣
True. But then why the artwork?
Indians will say they also have whatever other people have. 😂😂
@@SunRabbitthe artwork is modern. China wanted to church it up I guess.
It's baffling to me, that people still think these megalithic marvels were somehow constructed by the primitive ancestors of our current civilization. Many of which, we still can't replicate today. I did still enjoy the video and the curiosity it may ignite. Thank you for taking the time to create it 🙏
In the recent western history of the United States men were mining into the 1920s with hammers and pickaxes. Why is it so hard to give humans credit for their labor. Too much science fiction on TV these days is skewing your view.
I don't like the word primitive. It is proven that people from ancient times were much more skilled than was believed by historians at the start of the 1900's. We know the egyptians had the building skils and mathematical skills to build the pyramids. And othe civilisations had much greater knowledge and skills than thought before. The Aztecs had astronomical knowledge that weren't seen again before the nineteenth or twentieth century. Knowledge that was lost, and then rediscovered. Many things have been discovered or invented more than once in history. Knowledge and skills are constantly being gained and lost. And so it has always been.
Oh, we certainly could replicate these ancient wonders with today's technology, but we wouldn't bother wasting the time, effort, and use of resources to do it. It simply isn't worth it in modern society. The question is what was so important to these ancient peoples that they did it. When it comes to the pyramids, we know. They were burial places for the pharaos. But when it comes to other places like this cave, we don't know. My money would be on the Cistern theory. But why then, all the rooms, with rounded door openings. And the decorations seems unnecessary. unless they had a religious meaning.
No mummies were found in the giza pyramid from what we are told.
@@palmarolavlklingholm9684 lol we KNOW the pyramids were just giant, overly complex tombs? Right.
The pyramid's were for fresh water and electricity humans aren't coming up with new ideas we are just rediscovering what was already done we haven't come up with anything new in millions of years we say aliens came to us but it wasn't aleins, it always was us. One day man will figure that out! The only aliens were the Angels God sent to help us and guide us 🙏 ❤
Sounds like you're telling half of the story.... Why are you not showing what's on the walls.
The carvings on the walls were added recently. I lived in China, and saw carvings like these when I was climbing Mt. Laoshan, a sacred mountain near Qingdao.
I asked the same thing .
I’d like to know as well. If they were added why not tell us. Plus they are on the small columns and that’s pretty dangerous to mess with.
True, Ai made video? 2nd around 13min saying why their no information about it hmm maybe because we keep warring our self an Destroy all information.. how much information or technology is lost in Major wars.? Sounds to me who being call a Scientists is stupid! Watch lot these videos lot disinformation which make it how willing are you to look into and Research.for the truth?? So far at this point in this video I'm done. I see another one I'm blocking it..

They don't know anything about them, but somehow can pin-down the Han Dynasty? How does the water interact with the stone. More answers, I believe, would come in determining the origin of the pond and how long it's been a pond, what sheds feed it, if any.
Anyway I'm a big subscriber to the cycles of magnetic excursions, which are believed to be triggered by the Sun (micronova), last one being 12,000y ago. These caves seem like an appropriate response.
Megalithic civilization built these, modern history denies their existence, but their buildings are here and will last longer than our expert's explanations. Human history goes far more back and far more different than what today's experts try to sell us!
Historians do NOT deny their existence - what they do say is that there is no observable evidence that a massively technological single culture existed, then spread that over the world. To state that these civilisations could NOT do this by themselves is both prejudiced and racist from a western eye.
used for ceramics at in pottery etc, thats why no materials are found outside, so lamps
were not used because it would blacken the pottery, and the chisel marks indicate harvesting
of material needed small pieces for easier crushing. A similar thing happened in the champagne district of France where limestone was mined, leaving all the caves un discoved for 5 centuries, and now used for wine storage - ta da.
Yes. I think you missed the fact that water storage facilities like this one had stairs so that the water would be accessible no matter how low the water level got in there.
Maybe
Ever heard of a bucket on a rope...?
Two things didn't get mentioned...
1. What are the acoustic properties inside each complex. It could have a function similar to the grand gallery in the pyramid. Those carved lines could be to tune or resonate certain frequencies. Maybe nobody resided in there because it could have had an industrial use, rather than a shelter.
2. No mention of the artwork on the walls you keep showing thru out your presentation. What type of animals are being depicted. What type of clothing is being worn. Clues to time periods.
Keep up the good work!
Those are the same marks we make today cutting stone. Very large and heavy machines.
I think the art work is from after the caves were drained?
I think the artwork is more modern, but he still should have said something about it instead of showing them and saying nothing.
I was actually thinking along the lines of noise dampening or disruption with the lines.
I was very interested in hearing more about the artwork and it just never came up.
The Han dynasty doesn't have any records because the Han dynasty had no role in building it. I think they caves are pre flood, well pre flood. As for the tool marks, they indicate what equipment was used to carve them. This was a mechanized effort, NOT done by hand IMO.
definetely not done by hand and much more ancient than they believe them to be
What flood are you talking about? Those tool marks look handmade to me, although there was probably guide tool to assist with placement.
So you guys have been there and examined the markings? Making up facts to support your predetermined hypothesis is not a way of solving something this mysterious.
I think these caves are made by Ancient British men who traveled. There is no way ancient chinese are so intelligent to build something as complex as this. Take a look at the Stonehinge.
Electricity was never invented. It was harnessed?
Yes it has been around for as long and before our Solar System has been here.
@@sheldonwheaton881 yes, the electric universe?
I wonder what the difference is between the sparks that we are using and say, what was being harnessed and used by the Old World buildings and people. Don't believe they had electrical outlets in those fantastic places.?
But maybe we just don't know what we are looking at.
Very true 😊
Yes. You don’t create electricity. Electromagnetic fields exist naturally and are believed to be caused by the gravitational force of the earth. We harness that power and transmit it by conduction on different type of cables. Copper, aluminum, etc.
@@mikethomp1440Isnt elecrticity universal? Every atom has positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. No? So whats all this about the earth?
I submit that the Longyou cave network "may" have been built as a shelter for a group of people from CME or an asteroid strike, or some other natural disaster. And possibly even from war. Thanks for sharing.
The carvings of dragons, fairies, dancing scenes etc are obviously done by people who don’t know anything about the importance of preserving the ancient ruins as they are. In so doing they had done irreversible damages to these relics.
Yeah, thats more or less what i was thinking.
I said make them MORE CHINESE IN APPEARANCE!!!
Cisterns. The markings on the wall are for water level, obviously. Either for irrigation or drinking purposes, you need to plan ahead. Especially in times of drought.
Electricity was discovered, not invented.
This really comes as a shock to me.
The Egyptian Pyramids and Tombs of the Pharaohs also have no residue of torches. They discovered the builders had Bagdad Batteries and a type of light bulb they used! Did this "Atlantean" knowledge reach China at the same time frame of 10,000 years ago when the last major calamity occurred on Earth?! We have suspicions that 10,000 years ago the Earth went through an extinction event that very few survived from. The entire Atlantean Society was destroyed. Some survivors made it to Nubian lands and what we now call Egypt. Could some have also been in the lands we now call China as well? I think so!
It wasn't discovered if it always was, we wouldn't be alive without electricity
@@Cantbreakitifitsnotfixed if it always was .. and we just found it... that would be a discovery....... 200 iq...
If one steps of a cliff, gravity is discovered not invited. Natural phenomena are discovered.
I think them caves are more impressive than the pyramid's
They were probably built using the same exact technology and equipment that built some, most or all of the other megalithic structures around the world.
Really 😱
The ground water level has for sure come up in the last 13,000 years. Those are machine marks on the cave walls, large, heavy machines.
Exactly 💯% so why would it be said that they should have been using primitive oil torches etc 😅
Hand tools.
All the surface final finish was done by specialists using hand tools, for acoustics and looks, like even today many places are finished by hand, even the Opera house.
@@arsenelupiniii8040 yes, the one that gets me is the one that made the scoop Marks, it's everywhere and I can't help but think that it would look like an excavator. Rock softening agents? Soo many questions.
Hand tools. Obviously.
Highly compelling. Could you move the images around more frequently. I almost focused on one.
i think that these caves were underground dwellings for people looking to survive the massive world changes that were happening above ground. Our whole understanding of global resets has been removed from history so we are still taught a "linear" line of progression at school. I think we've been technically advanced many, many times in the past and saying that electricity wasn't invented back then is just naive in my opinion. If we all had access to the library and vaults in and around the Vatican then maybe we would find records of people in the past moving underground for survival. We're all aware of pole shifts and the huge disturbances caused by natural disasters...we've probably done it quite a few times in our human history. We no doubt had help as the "Gods" that made us were sympathetic to our needs at the time. We were made to work for them so there were many hybrids who were lucky to inherit sacred knowledge that would then be kept within that family forever. I do believe that the families alive today with a lot of power have retained their bloodlines to ensure this knowledge is kept a secret from us all. There are answers to these mysteries but the result of us learning them would shatter the world view we all have and I'm sure most would not be able to deal with it well. The way we live is very immature compared to our ancient ancestors...they were highly intelligent and lived in harmony...something we all still dream about as I believe we know it's all possible. Today's world is an illusion that's been made to make money and money only...hence the problems.
If they were smart enough they would no need electricity. Sound can create a variable of unique features. Take this sound can break glass, what else can this sound harnessed do. It messes up peoples minds drives you crazy break rocks smoothen surfaces ahh! Sound harnessed can what? Move water etc. water cuts stone it goes on and on.
I agree - our history is not linear. They say "modern" humans have been around for at least 300k years. Modern humans would not be satisfied with cave life for 300k years. We are innovators, creators. All these other humanoids older than us were other variations of different times after different disasters.
The powers that be seem to want to hide our actual human history from us... Why? What is their intention and motive for doing so. What are they trying to hide that is bigger than what they are hiding? If that makes sense... That's the bigger question...
Hench why the elite have to b taken down and their business split up in a way that no one can have that sort of power again, we , our kids r being lied to and it's becoming more and more obvious every day , hence the censor ship around any narrative
There would be some pottery, utensils, and other items the people would use for their daily lives.
@@bobbybeeman7280That was my thought to, I'm glad someone else thought of it 😮
You asked at the end, "Did I miss something?" Why was no consideration given to the carvings of images on the cave walls and pillars? Were there any clues in those images that could tell us who built the cave and when? Were the carvings added later? I don't understand why the carved images are completely overlooked in this video?
It's very simple: they are far older.
Correct
From before the flood. The flood from Noah’s arc is a retelling of the one from the epic of Gilgamesh is a retelling of the one from (I forget the name) from the Zoroastrianism religion, which is probably a retelling from thousands, or even 10’s of thousands, of years before that. But there WAS a flood, and it wiped out all the information and knowledge and displaced everybody. That’s why none of this stuff is in any records.
@@myeyeswentdeaf6213 also in early Chinese .
Maybe the caves were built during China's culture revolution as one of Mao's strange manoeuvres and a formidable way to subdue his enemies, let them chisle and don't tell anyone.
Pre-Noahic Flood.
Every Cistern, i would argue, has a way to access the bottom. either ladder or stairs...
Lighting in caves is easy with precisely placed mirrors or reflective surfaces. One large beam of light can be split into many smaller beams in many directions. The caves are most likely about 13,000 years ago and no one knew about it because no one survived the cataclysm and made them lost to begin with.
No that's actually not true. You don't watch any actual science channels do you. Sudo archaeologists will make you look stupid. Lighting a cave with mirrors does not work. You cannot reflect light infinitely.
You're watching too many movies
I have Heard this theory, using mirrors as a light source. I have yet to see any real application as a viable means of this method. I would like to see it done. I think it would be very limited in its scope
The magnitude and size alone would be justification enough to be recorded if it was done within record history. You just don’t build something like this and not say why or a God damn word. It only makes sense if the original builders disappeared unexpectedly in the distant past so to some kind of event and the region over time was repopulated by other ethnicities. Is that so difficult to come to terms with?
You only know that because of the mummy
The patterns on the wall are the result of the way you remove stone with a chisel. You cut parallel grooves, then cut across between the grooves.
Loose stone was a valuable commodity. It may have been taken long distances to be used in roads or foundations.
They were built a lot longer ago than your poor assumption suggests. There was no record kept at that time as the process was meaningless. They did not use hammers or chisels as they had much simpler methods for removing the stone which could be done with very few people involved.
There are more megalithic structures waiting to be found.
Could you please elaborate?
@@20th_century_Ghost
You should simply begin with an understanding of geometrics and platonic solids.
A string of unsupported assertions is not evidence, let alone an "argument."
Add a few billion years to any theory, and suddenly it all makes sense? insane indeed.
Longyou caves were obviously made by an ancient advanced civilization, so why would they be using primitive lighting methods?
They were not made by an ancient advanced civilisation and some records have been found that mention their original use as storage halls, built by Emperor Xuan of the Western Han Dynasty, who built them as storage warehouses for centrally managed, secure storage in the border counties. No pumps, they flooded, game over.
Thank you ! A voice of sanity
Interesting.
It seems like you missed a conversation about the carved illustrations depicting the people... Who were they? What were they doing?
Nobody carves artwork like that in a cistern.
This is an underground quarry with the parallel lines the layers of blocks cut out. This is not unusual since where I live we still cut blocks this way to build houses. It can be done because the rock is soft limestone that you can cut with a knife but on exposure to air hardens like rock. In fact our stone masons shape arches and decorations for our churches with an adze and a rough file and cut the blocks with a saw to make key stones. The City of Bath in the UK is built from oolitic limestone rock cut from underground quarries beneath the hills surrounding the town and the rock was exported for building churches and other public buildings throughout Southern England. Oolitic limestone comes from long ago sea beds and is made up of the shells of dead sea creatures and so is found in many parts of the World.
This might be the best explanation I've read so far - I don't think it's terribly old, and it looks like modern work to me.
Likewise the quarry caves in Beer, Devon, UK are worth a visit. But I don’t think the Longyou caves were quarries. I remain mystified!
There wouldn’t be detailed carvings in a quarry? You can see images of the carvings on the walls on search engines.
@@JessicajilThey were just added by the idiotic Chinese government in a bid to claim them as ancient Chinese. They didn't care that they were desecrating what maybe 11 thousand years old. Ignore the carvings.
They were obviously giants. But you didn't hear it from me.
Just saw a video about ancient China and it mentioned a dynasty called the Xia dynasty that is supposedly viewed being mostly mythical rather than real according to the video. Apparently the progenitor and leader of that dynasty rose to his position by solving the issue of the yellow river flooding by building canals to move the water either to the oceans or fields. Sometime around 2100-1600 bc. Maybe this could have something to do with that?
Erlitou is considered the best candidate for the Xia.
I keep hoping the Shang will cough up some actual records, other than those cracked tortoise shells. Which are nice to have; they prove the Shang existed. But we got bupkes for the Xia.
Great job with the video. Very well researched. Enjoyed watching
Glad you enjoyed it!

There are tool marks at places like Petra and other places so similar to this that it cannot be ignored. IF one knows about it. Thanks for the video!
You keep talking about sophisticated works - but mentioning that the people who did it are primitive. These people were more sophisticated that we are ❤
Yeah, they had atomic power, flew airplanes, had nationwide electricity grids, operated submarines in the deep ocieans....oh wait. THEY DIDN'T.
Cant forget that there are local folk tales of the pond that keeps filling back up that goes way back
If its limestone, which it appears to be, that is purely natural as limestone is porous, and so the level may fluctuate quite a lot. What seems to be missing, is any stalagmites/tites which are normally found in limestone caves (which makes me doubt their antiquity TBH.
Maybe the caves where there before china was china and on the surface it just looked like a pond to the locals.
Aryans… “ proto indo Europeans” they are called after WWII… 😮
Proper English please. Reading this is a pain.
My take: the caves were not built from bottom up. They were built from top down. The horizontal banding shows depth and this seems to have been roughly standardized.
16:17 to 16:43 carved wall art was carved when floor was more or less level with bottom of wall carved design - even if these were made one at a time.
I think designers and workers had no extent of the build they were about to make and so the design was a living design.
It happened at the time it was needed and did not depend on architectural drawings made in an office somewhere over there (points over there)
So I think the story of how they were built should start at entry level and consider roof-wise build and design separately from ground-wise build.
A linear step-by-step process with regularity based on height of humans building it and properties of tools they were using to build it.
My guess is that they probably filled with water rendering them unfit for use. Then gradually these things gradually drifted from memory with satisfaction and relief
I was raised in the suburbs of Johannesburg, and in the 1960's, an underground reservoir was built about 3 or 4 miles from where I lived. I couldn't help thinking about it on seeing this video, because it was so similar. It was modern, so it was built with concrete, of course, and the walls were flat, not ridged, but it was huge, and fascinating to me, because I made recordings of its accoustics. I could sing an arpeggio - C, E, G, C - each note for about a second, and the echo produced the arpeggio chord, which was audible for more than a minute.
What I wanted to say about it is that it was not built for the public to see - I saw it during construction, because there was a big hole in the side of the hill that it was built ionto, where lorries (trucks to the American readers) could go in and out to carry the spoil away - and I'm sure that there were plans lodged somewhere in some company archive - but if it was discovered by some historian or archiologist in 1,000 years' time, it's quite likely they would not find any record if it. If the Longyou caves had been built as a residence for an emperor, or as something to attract tourism, then there would certainly be records - but a water reservoir? I don't find it surprising at all that there are no records if, indeed, that was their purpose.
Y would a reservoir have art on the walls. It's possible that's what they are, or maybe not
@@kegapa You completely missed my point.
@@DownhillAllTheWay my I got it now, I have gained new insight from drawings about the caves. I believe u were right on point. I believe they were reservoirs.
@DownhillAllTheWay I get ur point. Bkuz, if I were to build emperial sized reservoirs, why would I leave a journal about my excavation adventures for the next generation to muddle over.
@@kegapa No - I'm not suggesting that these were reservoirs - maybe they were, but I have no idea what they were used for. However, they reminded me of the reservoir that I saw under cionstruction when I was a teenager, and I related the incident and the feeling of being there, and the accoustics inside it.
I gotta be honest... this just looks like subterranean quarry.
I would look more into the material itself. What makes it unique? It looks to me like they may have had a greater purpose, but abandoned the project for whatever reason.
Ya they need to show more of the graphics on the walls that would be nice
All the carvings were added by the Chinese government recently which has damaged the original structure of the site unfortunately. This footage is from my video I filmed there several years ago. You can see more of the site, but at the time I was unaware of the carvings being recent -
LONGYOU CAVES MYSTERY - CHINA
th-cam.com/video/uSWIn927qL0/w-d-xo.html
Such an unusual archeological discovery to find , just WOW
26:44 What I believe you're missing is you do not discuss about the writings or the carvings on the walls that are quite ornate and detailed. What did they show and represent?
The carved artwork is modern. China wanted to church the place up
Lots of water storage systems or cisterns have steps and ledges and markers often to make records of dry periods and flood periods
A cistern is still the most logical choice. It probably had stairs because "I'm carving rock anyway, may as well make it easier for me to get up and down." It could have taken years and years to carve out. So, stairs make perfect sense. The chisel marks could have made the cistern last a long time. Has anyone looked into the hydrodynamics of the cave?
Why make detailed carvings of beautiful art work on the walls if your going to fill it up with water? This place was a residence.
@@france4322 The carvings were carved later, after it had been drained.
@@johnsherfey3675 no proof no signs of water
@@davidcollin1436 I mean it was filled with water...
Answer to your question: The Longyou caves like many other megalithic structures scattered around the world where built by the descendants of a people that had suffered PTSD as a result of a traumatic incident that happened during their lifetime namely; The Flood. This incident killed every person on the planet except for the survivors that were saved to repopulate the planet. Humans by nature will go into a self preserving mode when confronted with a cataclysmic event. Especially an event that is beyond human control. It started with the "Tower of Babel". After the great deluge, humans like we always do said "never again!' and they tried building a massive project (Giza?) that would allow them escape the next flood. That effort was thwarted, and humans were dispersed across the earth, resulting in the Great Migration out of Africa. Where ever they went the took with them the horrors of the flood and the need for self preservation. In short the Longyou caves were underground shelters that were built (much like the modern doomsday shelters that rich people have constructed recently) to protect against the next flood event. This would explain the "cistern like" nature of the caves, the drainages and the steps in case the water level was getting higher. The lines on the walls would allow survivors to constantly gauge how much water was coming in and how long before the caves was completely submerged. Given the megalithic structures built by their parents that were lost to the flood, these newer generation still had and knew the "old technology" and utilized it to build "flood shelters" that are literally littered across the face of the earth. We would do the same if a Nuclear holocaust had annihilated every one but a few from the face of the earth. This was about Self preservation.
Of course cisterns have stairs. Wells in Isreal and India of the same time period have them. When the water level goes lower you need to be able to access it.
You mean Palestine. Isreal was only invented in 1940s
Not to mention the way to carry the construction rubble out. There is a lack of seriousness in this video.
Definitely a mystery! Looking forward to who, why and when.
You forgot to mention the Tartarians. The same people that built the great wall of Tartary built to keep the Chinese out.
The name of the village should give a clue. Shenyu people didn't keep written records.
Unfortunately you are all over the shop. They are not chisel marks on the roof and the walls, try machine marks, and the reason the roof is rippled
Was because they desired that affect through the machine they used. The reason no one heard about the Longyou caves was the fact that it probably goes back 10,000 years . At least 3 1/2 million tons removed and completely disappeared. And your hypothesis is chisel marks.😊
.
Never forget most sacred places have many layers. They built on top of the original
In my opinion these caves were built by an ancient civilization, than in ancient time, a king or something discovered and had it repurposed and carved with more modern iconography.
The original construction was most likely built for practice purposes and didn’t need no carving nor ornaments.
Excellent presentation,. No answers, but lots of food for thought.I love it.
Thank you
Rick
It's crazy really crazy that they're always trying to pass off this shit with their textbook way of archeology it's almost like they all forgot what archeology and science and everything else is actually starting from imagination
This cave system was obviously made from primitive hunter-gatherers way before they learned agriculture.
And when they make statements like the one I just typed they stop using their imagination and no longer are they doing their jobs.
@@joebeezy9471or they know all the answers about these historical sites but don’t want us to know.
@joebeezy9471. Friggin Smithsonian…am I right!?🙄
If you re a settled archeologist who has always said it's "abc" , your prestige and ego is at risk when telling "didly" all of a sudden and your "abc" was wrong aparantly.
Maybe all the tonnage of rock is what made the hill or mountain that sits over the caves.
Sounds fair
Interesting presentation! I wish a little bit more effort would have been made to document the artwork on the walls.
How do you get water out of the cistern if you got no stairs?
Look at cisterns in India: You got stairs going around the entire rim. Same in south america.
Seriously, this video fails on many levels, beginning with the most basic ones.
Like: Why build big structure during wars. Alexander built a dam towards Tyre. Cesar built 2 walls & ditches around Alesia. Building stuff is standard procedure for armies. There is not just the engineers corps but even the Seabees in the USN cause the USA recognized the need for wartime construction.
So: Videomaker got no clue about anything.
You managed to make a really long video without really actually showing much but repeating yourself
Burning animal fats for light and heat wouldn't leave any soot.
Maybe all those stones have been used for "The wall"
You asked at the end if you had missed something and I think you have (sort of). So put me in the camp of cistern believers. You showed pictures of some of the outlets in the hillside like at 7:13 in the video. Has anyone traced these outlets to see if they weren't connected to some sort of aqueduct or irrigation system? Also, who knows if these caves were dug out of solid rock? Natural caves of all sizes are found around the world. Could it be these caves were already there but much smaller and irregular and the minors went in them to square them up and make them a functional cistern? If you are in an area experiencing a severe drought and you find something like a spring of water coming out of a hillside wouldn't you explore it extensively. Especially if it means finding a water source for yourself and family perhaps livestock and irrigation for crops. Then finding the caves. With their knowledge those caves could be expanded as insurance for the next season of drought. It snows in China. Sometimes pretty bad. Those cisterns(caves) could have been engineered to catch the runoff from the melting snow and ice and the occasional rainfall that occurred at the time.
It's obvious these caves were made by dragons to store their gold and bones in.
@stickerdan I'd think they would have left some refuse, especially since dragons aren't house broken. 😂😅😂
@@wernerdanler2742 the dragons are still there with all their gold too. They have a invisible spell given to them by Gandalf the White!
imagine that this insane "man made" (most likely) cave system was found on pure happenstance, and because someone was just stubborn and wanted to finally get to the bottom of the stories. that's it. pure luck we have this today. I mean just imagine what else is right under our feet.
Every ancient cistern I've ever seen pictures of, had stairs to retrieve water, at whatever level the water was.
Excellent narration! 👏
Shelter when the next meteor to hit the earth or the nuclear war shelter.
Where are the actual remains of the meteors?
It wasn't made to hide from meteors. You ever seen what a meteor strike does to the ground it hits? Every person inside would die instantly.
What about using a mirroring system so they could use at light underground from sun all reflection mirrored?
Yes, it's a terrible abuse that the local government carved the new carvings as a way to create more of a tourist attraction.
I agree - those fresh looking carvings look new.
What about more details on Carved Picturegraphs Of the builders on the walls.
I've played enough Zelda to know that they used mirrors to light the place
Only good for a awhile and the deeper you go the weaker it worked.
@@littlewing6231 depends on the layout; diffusion could be mitigated by additional mirrors
The Children’s memorial at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem demonstrates how the light of one candle can be refracted and amplified enormously. That’s not such a mystery.
@@Woozy.0no you don't understand how that works.
@@WayneBraackprove it wrong, Braack!
You didn't really talk any about the carvings. It looks to me like they are mostly left blank for future carving and would have been a Temple or a Tomb. The flatness and lines would maybe aid in making large carvings. They might have had a more crude way of removing large portions and the chisel marks are from the finishing or smoothing out, they probably wouldn't have removed all material with a chisel. Also they could have found existing caves and just expanded them in areas that had the softer sandstone
There is no record of the pyramids in China either
there were tall blonde haired people living in what is known as china but the chinese do not want to talk about this much, as if they always lived on their land. maybe the tall blondes were responsible for the pyramids & these cisterns as well as many other things in china or maybe even people before the blondes. the chinese only recorded their own history.
Very well done. Thank you.
Interesting, but overuse of graphic effects makes watching annoying.
Too much drama with video filters--
You said it yourself. They were giants, and they had old knowledge that humans never had, plus their great strength. So many people would not have said there were giants, if there were no giants. That would make no sense at all.
You should introduce yourself to the Square-Cube law.
Who knows how old the caves might be, the art can be put a long time after. This doesn't even look like man made. Only god knows what kind of people and when they were building this cave.
Well yes you missed this fact - the stairs were needed to get the workers down to the bottom level then ignored as you fill the cistern ! 😹
0:02 you get a like just for showing the man Duncan ❤️
The stairs make perfect sense to be there. As they were digging down, the stairs were they workers way down and back up with the debris. 🤷♂
there is no debri,s.. a machine carved them out or a lazer. the cuts look the same as a coal wheel machine.. rotating. these are the same world wide.. kailash temple is the same, hewn from a granite hill with no burden..
There's a basalt cave system in California - one immigrant man dug it out himself, over his lifetime. He didn't say where he was from but he said that his people were very experienced at this style of cave construction.
Such a good comment yet no one has replied to it ~ it must be under a shadow ban of the Truth 😉
The machine that built these were programmed with the dimensions needed to build all the caves is why they are so similar
exactly... they can use chisels for finishing.. you would be there till doomsday trying to Chisel this whole thing by hand... give me a break
i agree, just like the carved and drilled stones at the pyramids in egypt, they had some sort of machinery that has been taken and hidden. to carve or drill through stone you need some kind of powerful machinery.🤔🤔🤔🤔
I thought just this...
I think this cave is a afterwork of humans that survived the younger dryas comet impact ca 11 000 years ago
What metal was the chisel that they found I. This cave ?
Thank you for this video. These rock shelters or caves were a natural hiding spot during very bad weather conditions but also a surviving place during the most dramatic event in the history of mankind. That is the crossing of planet 9 that occurs every few thousand years. That planet 9 is orbiting our sun in an eccentric orbit so it crosses close to our sun at a very high speed. Due to the gravitational force it causes a huge tidal wave, storms, rains, flooding and earthquakes in unprecedented amounts and a bombardment of fiery meteors. Only people who are in a shelter with a very strong roof, a mountain above your head will do, survive this disaster. In those caves they recorded messages for us. That they were human, many, by printing the hands. A spiral is the first sign of the approaching planet. A square cross is a closer planet and hands up means that they are frightened. That planet is sometimes presented as an aggressive animal with big teeth. The event occurs in seven days. Another result of the cycle of disasters is a cycle of civilizations. They emerge and vanish according to a fixed schedule. This is ancient knowledge that is available for everyone who is searching for it but that is forgotten, neglected or denied by all scientists. Abundant and convincing evidence about this cycle of natural disasters and its timeline and many images are available in the eBook: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". Search: nibiru = 9
These caves were constructed when sea levels were 400meters lower then they are today. The caves lines are like a record player providing a story to be told when the right styles is found.
Typo? Stylus, not styles.
This Video is Way Better ( and longer ) Than what you see on the History Channel !!!! Thanks Soo Much ! Next Get Some People to dig in some of those Pyramids. That Would be Even More Fantastic!!!! 👋😁👍👈😎👌
Glad you enjoyed it!
We didn’t “invent” electricity.
Those parallel lines cutting might have been made to make the walls stronger. This hiding place for the army might not have been used ever as the soldiers might have been killed in a war before using the underground fort.
Disaster bunkers?
Right, with a huge opening on top that doesn't protect you from anything.
@@0Apostata0 for all we know, there could've been some sort of cover on them, or those openings were added after the disaster, when they started using it as a water cistern.🤷🏽♂️
It wouldn't take much for them to think of the alternative use, as they were crafting the caves, and designed them to be able to make such an adjustment.
Because of Nibiru?
It’s a secret emergency water cistern obviously.
Those caves look like flood management and water cistern for dry times.
Consider that the intelligence early in the fall of man included telepathy and teleconnections, and all of the beings at the early times of the fall of man had photographic memories. You don't need to make a list when you have a photographic memory. There is a possibility that information was stored in atoms, crystals, or some other substance in digital or other form that we have yet to find because we have not thought to look for it. We may advance in understanding ways to leave records that cannot be seen by the naked eye. The beings of this time understood the way of record keeping, which we have yet to discover. However, they understood that there was digression and that things were being lost with the passing of time. Symbols are a universal language and could be put into stones that would survive millions of years to leave a record of their life and culture.
No one builds something like that and then floods it either. As if to hide it much like Gobekli Tepe
Gobekli Tepe is the craziest shit I’ve ever come across. Could be 15k years old and the fact we have unearthed 8% working diligently is crazy. To have buried it even crazier. To think we’re gonna die and never get answers most likely drives me nuts.
Ground water level is much higher than 13,000 years ago.
The great flood washed the sand to cover it.
Tepe will never be uncovered. The world health organization owns it and wants to hide our history so it's can help dictate our future.
It's called a "Cistern", Einstein. The Mycenaeans and ancient Israel built these too.
you did miss something very important:. you never explained what the relief carvings were and when they were made. much of your imagery shows relief carvings on the walls and columns, but you never address this imagery / carvings, and who made the relief carvings. i can only assume that these are modern and that you somehow assumed we already must know that?.. but the complete lack of caveat in this video is disappointing. how would i know that?
That’s wrong, they did have electricity 😊 for lighting
