- Grab your flashlight and lace up your hiking boots for a visit to a fantastic unchartered universe- the world of caves. Deep inside Kentucky's "Underground Everest," the world's longest cave, explore miles of passages and discover fossil remains of humans who braved the darkness up to 3,000 years ago. Visit an ice cave in the Austrian Alps and climb down a quarter-mile underground in New Mexico's Lechuguilla. Marvel at breathtaking mineral formations and a kingdom of bats that use their ears to guide them- just a few of the many wonders in Mysteries Underground.
I recall seeing this for the first time and being so super pleasantly surprised to discover that I was in it! That’s a much younger me In a still at 51:52 minutes! The night before we went down (for a bit over a week), a group (I knew a few of them) was celebrating breaking the 50 mile mark of Lechuguilla! It now stands at over 100 miles discovered/explored! We also heard that National Geographic was in there exploring for part of the same time we were. The cave’s huge and very spread out, so we never came across them, though. Special thanks to my late, great friend Ernie Garza for getting me included in the expedition. Definitely a major highlight of my life.
I was there for the 89 Memorial Day expedition and the 89 Christmas expedition. It was my group that originally explored and surveyed the lead above Ghost Town that ended in the sulfur deposits that were shown in the Nat Geo article from around this same time. I got to see the Chandelier Ballroom and swim Lake Castrovalva. Most of what I did was in the western borehole. You and I are definitely part of an exclusive group!
I was part of the early exploration of Lechuguilla and have slept within a short walk of the giant selenite chandeliers. Lechuguilla is the most incredible place I have ever been and without doubt one the most beautiful and unique places anywhere. My last trip was just before this documentary was made.
my friends and I worked on this thanks for posting. we carried the gear and kept the film crew undergound a week at a time!
sid perou directed it but the best stuff they could not show because of the difficulty of travel...
tim butler have you seen Sid perou"s own channel
Nice; towards the end I realized just how much equipment they had/needed. You're lucky you got to go down there.... I guess we are all tho: good video!
Hi Scots, thanks for that tip, I wasn't aware of his movies and after checking his channel, will be back more to fully explore it!
Really neat to hear from someone from the video! Got any stories from the expedition?
amazing!
Wow! I saw this when I was in middle school.... I watched this so many times and I can't believe it that I found it..... thanks for Sharing!
I remember this as a kid
I remember watching this as a little girl. I remember laying on my parents bed and it was night, mom was asleep and I was next to her. I remember just being amazed at what I was seeing lol
I remember being absolutely terrified as a kid watching Floyd's story
Amazing as a grown woman to see it again i bet, my first time watching this as a man and I felt I should have seen this on my parents bed … at last I’ve seen It.. Incredible
@@itsolivierWhat? Are you trans? You first saw this as a man and now as a woman?
Totally amazing documentary... Just the type of stuff.. That are TV channels are meant to be showing nowadays
I remember watching this as a child. The moment at 23:23 scared me to death. This image was haunting me for some time
Im so glad this documentry is available here! I had seen this on tv a good 25 years ago and after seeing a short piece on mamouth cave, i recalled this old docu to mind and decided to search for it. Bingo. It was wonderful to watch this well made documentary after so long.
20:41 I just watched internet historian's story of Floyd Collins and I realized I've heard that story before, I must've been like 5 when I watched this documentary ,and I remember the tale of how he got stuck was my favorite part cause it was scary. I never wanted to go into caves cause I thought he got stuck quite easily, but now I understand what he was doing was very dangerous to begin with
I just love Richard Kiley's voice
Same he's the best on National geographic
Watch mysteries of mankind National geographic it's on UA-cam
I'm curious what's in a cave but it takes some real balls to go that deep in a cave.
I wouldn’t go in a cave but I’m happy their are those with balls of stalagmites crystal… to enter into these bellies of earth .. of course many are totally safe but the ones that aren’t totally discovered scare me most
I grew up watching this at my grandparents’ house. ❤
Very interesting and what beauty. I did a cave tour once, while on a week long work training in San Jose, Ca. Forget the name, but it was about 2 hr drive east of San Jose. Even paid extra to do the repel portion. Very cool experience.
Mt Diablo ?
What a wonderful documentary! I truly enjoyed it. I saw it somewhere as a kid and loved it then. How do I know that I loved it? Because I remember watching it. I think it was on Channel 11 here in Lubbock, Texas. I was just as amazed then as I am now. Thank you.
I grew up in Kentucky. I've heard speculation that the Mammoth Cave system may extend as far as Texas!
At 1:51, did anyone else spot the face on the rock on the left side? An eye, nose and mouth can be seen.
Ancestral aliens has entered the chat
I saw it!
Man what I would do for a 4k version of this...
Watch the caves episode of the original BBC Planet Earth series. It is as close to being in Lechuguilla cave as you can get without being there. I was part of the exploration in the early days and It made me feel like I was back there.
Check out Derek Bristol Channel here on UA-cam has high quality videos of a lot of these caves he helps map and find new passages
Wonderful documentary hats off
Ένα εξαιρετικό βίντεο,με ιστορία,αξιοπερίεργα,και φυσική ομορφιά!
I didn't want to watch this documentary, but I had to for a research. After watching this video, I now want to go explore some caves🤭
Anyone else see the perfect imagine of a face on the rock at 8.41
rip Floyd Collins.
Beautiful awe.
Native Americans already knew what lay west of the Appalachians...
They still know, make no mistake
8:37 - 8:47 look at the left of the cave wall. it looks like a huge portrait woman's face eyes nose and lips lightly painted on the wall illuminated by their lights as they walk past
Exactly! I saw that too, awesome!
Yes. Had to do a double take
I saw the same thing
@@danielshehta7831 i actually took another look and paused it you can see two faint verry detailed faces the one on the left is a bit smaller looks like a mans face
@@danielshehta7831 8:43 paused
Hell I work in a cave. I have also been to the Velvet Caves in the Netherlands. They are intriguing and mysterious and beautiful. More beautiful than any work of man.
Really? And you know every "work of man" and are a qualified judge of all "works of man"? Sometimes it's better to just save it then to attempt to highlight how important you are Fred the cave worker.
The earth planet have several underground mysterious rivers , caves creation to human yet to know for ever to get stunning view and insights .
Having had six decades of caving in and outside the USA
I see no end in sight of further self-discovery.
What a bunch of really cool people
absolutely loved this, thank you
I never thought I’d see this again... Does anyone know about a documentary on wolves by national geographic from the same time as this?
That’s like a super grand traverse
Did anyone see the face on the cave wall?? At 8:40 towards the left side
Yes! I almost said something, but wasn’t sure I had seen a face door sure. I rewound it a couple times 😂😂😂
Me too!
I've been scrolling looking for this. Yes I saw the face had to rewatch just to believe my eyes. I can't believe more have not caught it.
Nope. Nope. Big nope. But very interesting to watch!
This is amazing.
This was very interesting. Thx
At 1:51 what is with the face on the cave wall?
At 8:40 - 8:44 does anybody else see the giant face on the cave wall?
Yes. I scrolled forever looking to see if anybody else did and found 1 comment asking the same and now after replying I've hit a pocket of a few dozen other comments who all noticed it but somehow didn't find the other comments which yours was right in the middle. Guess the algorithm has a control of comments too.
Beautiful mysterious hollow 🌎.
This is. also why it can't be flat.
MyImList Ikr!
Ohhhhh,, the stupid
Ya no hacen grandes documentales como este
At 46.33 the sign was first going to read boots off or fuck off!! But someone changed to boots of or die!!
This is such a great documentary! Do you know when it was filmed?
By the ‘fashion’ looks of it, I’d guesstimate somewhere in the late 70’s, early 80’s
8:45 look at the face on the cave wall!!
This is great!
Idk what I’m doing here I’m just bored but I will say it’s very interesting
I would be happy to be a miner
8:41 to 8:45 you see a face on the wall glaring down
Idky but I had hard time believing prehistoric ppl could explore so deep but even ppl only 150 or so years didn't have electric lamps that reenacted the guy with oil lamp which kinda blew my mind I guess because I never really thought about it but flame was only light source up until really not that long ago
no doubt and we all know that they were very aware of how easily the flame could be put out on their torches. Thats not to say they didnt bring with them some means of re-lightening it plus with several of them having lit torches it helped confidence some. But taking in the undeniable and absolutely certain awfulness of what it would mean in the event of a loss of any light they were very brave going to such depths of caves with their torches.
I have been to carlsbad, great basin cave nevada,a cave down near tucson/tombstone , AZ as well as white scar in Yorkshire and the bone caves in the highlands of scotland, all show caves apart from the bone caves, and in several of these caves the guides switch off the lights, the utter blackness is stomach churning, I couldn't imagine trying to find your way out without light !
I have this on video cassette!
awesome
This video is old like that cave, any recent video?
What’s up w the daisy duke short shorts ?
8:45 look at the petroclifs
Yep, Tis all about that almighty $ Dollar $ ... I loved the thrill and adventure in my younger days.
From over the last 20years of Ancient history ive learnt amazing things ,knowing what i know now is that these people will never tell you the truth of what these caves once were. And those old ancient painting look like its destroyed and redrawn to me. Look how disrespectful that stupid man was being ,when he just banging those crystals with no care in the world.33:40 back then the said they don't believe ancient humans couldv'e ventured far into the caves ,boy they knew nothing!! In the ancient times they were not caves!!!
As bad as i just want to tell you all how stupid you are for going in these death traps but i can't do it because if not for you some of the most beautiful visuals would not be possible with out you, i cannot express this enough on how greatful i am for each and everyone of you, thank you for your bravery and please be safe and please think before you go and make sure you are making the right decision, for one when i see someone stuck it throws me into a panic attack and im not nowhere near the cave . And please give your predecessors more credit they were far from stupid or so primitive they were helpless . So many archaeologist talk about ancient civilizations like they were just dumb hunter gatheres , they was far from that and quit possibly even smarter and had some very high technology lost to us today, and with that I say thank you be safe and give yourself tons of credit as well cause you are greatly appreciated
I remember seeing this years ago.
I remember renting it... and never returning it... Hopefully the owners don't remember.
+JellybellyWaffles I'm going to tell them .

Symphony in stone
Big face on the wall
sor these limestone ?and gypsum also
@37:39, how can they call it bottomless put when its 105 feet deep? -_-
Hyperbole, mostly.
yeah, thought of that too but they should not call it that way.. its misleading people :3
they named it before they knew how deep it was. their brightest lights couldn't see the bottom.
+Silent Walker How is it misleading people? I doubt anybody thinks there is such a thing as a pit with no bottom.
+ Silent Walker How can they call it bottomless .. the same way you call a primitive tool an ancient dildo.
I see a face at 8.40...but it looks nothing like john wayne to me.
44:10 the real life Barney Fife
Just what is needed, "see and understand the unknown" in the company of an "oil and gas prospector" 😂
if, only, the world, would have, the same comradeship, yep, we, all live, on the same bubble, and theres no off ramp ?
Gyat 48:09
❤
Holy wardrobe
19:44 aaaaaaahhhh....
When I die, I want to be thrown into the trash
I am going in my compost bin 😁
Interesting how cave discovery was money motivated.
Loretta Valdez isn't everything??
All these discoveries are amazing, but I truly feel that we are totally disrespecting those dead folks, by keeping all these dead bodies. They should ALL be reburied where they were found. Even the mummies from ancient Egypt . It's just wrong to put the dead on shelves, either forgotten or lined up for future investigations. Do the right thing and bury them again with dignity..
fran sandling Agreed.
I've always wondered that too. The mummies went to pretty elaborate steps to preserve and protect their bodies from grave robbers, the pyramids are in a way the biggest "no trespassing" sign in the world. Yet for some reason we feel justified in disturbing them, taking them halfway around the world so schoolchildren can gawk at there corpse.
I think I will have my own body cremated, to avoid the possibility that future graverobbers/archeologists don't stick my ass in a museum.
From wikipedia: "The remains of the ancient victim were named "Lost John" and exhibited to the public into the 1970s, when they were interred in a secret location in Mammoth Cave for reasons of preservation as well as emerging political sensitivities with respect to the public display of Native American remains."
A body goes back to the Earth and the future life makes use of it. I don't care where I am so long as that happens.
I wanna know more about that cat 1000ft underground tho..... meow.
fran sandling I truly believe that displaying their body is truly an afterlife ppl still remember them minus the fact majority of mummies are unidentified but they are not completely forgotten same goes with pyramids that has truly created an eternal afterlife for it's original occupant
"motion picture film" an awkward way to say videotaping or filming
You must not be very old
For people who are unfamiliar with caving, this video is probably spellbinding. And certainly some of the visuals are beautiful. But beware, if you come here specifically for Lech, know that much of the video is not about Lech, but rather about caves in general.
My impression of the video is a bit more critical. The production seems old school (1980s to 1990s): scripted, canned, artificial, sterile, and haughty. At times, the narrator talks down to viewers, as if the viewer is inferior to these "chosen" cavers.
Lech cavers here seem conscious that the camera is on them; their sterile behavior thus belies what the caving community is really like, generally, which is cliquish, secretive, super suspicious of outsiders, and superior to non-cavers.
The video's environmental subtext is undermined by the cavers themselves, their camping supplies, camera gear, and ancillary equipment. The best way to protect the environment of Lech is to not go in at all. So the video's implied piousness is glaring.
If the viewer comes away with a sense of Lech's grandeur, I suppose the video was worthwhile to make. But I could have wished for a more honest, less sterile, and less scripted production.
and if pigs had wings.....can't please everyone.
@@Shawn-yp9ic You sound like a lot of cavers I have known.
Watch this on a 500mg edible hahA
they talk about, protecting it, but, the real reason, is, because it, disagrees, with their version, of history ? it proves, our ancestors, wernt dumb
"Experts" lol
😂😂😂🛋️💧
🤔
coming home, so true, some of us, still have, neanderthal D N A ,caves and bonfires, and camping out, are in the blood ?
WOLFROY47 why, so many, f#cking, commas,?
It, seems, like, so, much, effort, to use, so many, commas,.
oh Floyd is dead what ever will we do? oh i know rename the cave and try to make money from this ahem " tragic " accident
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” GENESIS 1:1 KJV
we dont care :)
john rezendes sheesh you guys are really boring. This is your belief, alright. Keep it to yourself. The world has enough bigotry and fanatism already. Appreciate the video instead of preaching your religion to others.
someone else, would look at, all this, and only see, profit ? their, the ones, screwing up, our world ?
WOLFROY47 And how so...?
they dont tell u the truth.....trust me people, but u starting to understand now, those who dont....lost in gaga or pokemon/fb mobile; vritual life ;))) sheeps. wake up..
boring
Sad
