      Do you mean what you have not digged up yet, trying too get rich. Folks take things from mother Earth and nature just too get rich. Even the animals, even people. No one realizing that the earth is a living breathing being as well, just like yourself. Those crystals are found in veins, transporting energy threw out the planet. But folks are stucked in ignorance. Killing your own planet just to get rich or die trying. Wow what a (Savage).... Ancestors were right, this has too end.

      @@danimal865 We do not have too dig or dynamite or beautiful planet mother Earth. We can all go noodling just getting what's on the surface. I see so many people that are doing just that and they enjoy just getting off the surface. But then I see some people putting dynamite in her and blowing the world up. Just like I said the earth is a living being as well just like us. And she is trying to communicate with her children, saying she has too get rid of this parasites that's destroying her. But people are not spiritual in that sense, when it comes to nature. Everyone wants too get rich or die trying, just too obtain an illusion. When the planet is waiting on humanity too wise up and rise up especially in consciousness. But folks would rather stay asleep, which is call the sleeping Buddha dealing with the soul. If humanity does not change nature will force us and she can careless as in who she kills. She is a bitch, but not the term bitch we as humans has totally down played that word for year's. It has nothing to do with a dog, but a womb-man on high as a priestess. Leave it too man and he will take everything away. Just as we are still doing today.

    I wonder if, when the plans to resubmerge the cave go through, will scientists be able to place long term, underwater cameras down there, to study the crystal growth in real time? It might take...well, forever, but imagine the timelapse possibilities.

    So I spent today watching every single 100 Wonders episode you did. Theyre insanely amazing. I can't even deal with it. Anyway, um, in some of them you asked for suggestions and I was wondering if you'd considered doing the Toynbee tiles yet? I only know a little about it but they are kind of mindbending and seem like the kind of mystery you guys do.

      These videos are excellent, and I am thrilled when new ones come out. For new oddities, may I suggest the Big Muskie Bucket in Ohio, or, if you are ever on a scenic drive across two-land roads in Wyoming (which I heartily recommend; GORGEOUS to look at), there is a scenic overlook above the Wind River Basin that is jaw-dropping.
