    My god this video gave me an an aneurysm... Of course there was a purpose to that castle. Apparently it's connected to Ottokar II. of Bohemia and it was supposed to be used for administration of the surrounding lands. Also after the thirty years war the defensive structures were torn down as decreed by Emperor Ferdinand III.
    As for the centaur woman in the church? That isn't that special. In Hamersleben for example the one of the pillars shows 2 centaurs fighting eachother. In Magdeburg Abbey there are also decorated pillars with harpies. And giving the czech guy a dub with a russian accent is pretty racist, Discovery... Also no self respecting archeologist would participate in these documentaries about ghosts and cryptozoology. Stuff like that just perpetuates the whole Indiana Jones view on archeology.
    But what do I know about that, I just studied european archeology and art history......

      No one knows bro because nobody was stupid enough to go back down there. But best guess probably Hell itself

    I find it so funny how the video covers how religious people were back then. How susceptible people were to stories... and how susceptible people are today and religious... reading the comments proves many people are reacting like the King who built this castle around the hole. Some say, over reacting...
    I expected more. Hmm. They say every story has a grain of truth... wonder if there's some type of reagent that could have killed the guy 2 days later... have they used radiation detection in the area? Perhaps going down that hole resides pockets of radioactive materials.
