Actually it's believed to be the largest cave system in the world.
Still not fully explored
@@davidortiz3094 can anyone explore or must they possess some sort of license ?
@@chailatt3e TL;DR: You probably could. but there are multiple things that go into it. The reasons are talked about below
You could probably do so with proof of experience. The cave being a United States National Park as well as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and international Biosphere Reserve, the US Parks Service probably wants to avoid a tragedy concerning human interference to the extent that it could be tragic to lose anything of researchable value.
The Parks Service would also like to prevent a second Floyd Collins Tragedy. Collins, an amateur cave explorer during the Kentucky Cave wars and a hopeful entrepreneur who wanted to give cave tours out of an entrance he had acquired in said cave wars, died in the cave entrance that happened before the foundation of the park.
Additionally, the cave holds significance to the ancient Native Americans as a burial site and is a common archaeological site that must be preserved with the greatest care with locations of bones and tools being undisturbed. It also hosts species of bats and other species of animals that are found only in the cave, so any imbalance in the ecosystem could effectively kill off any of the species, as is sadly happening with some of the bay populations.
You could explore it, but it might be under the supervision of an experienced caving park ranger, or an archaeologist, who knows what could be mapped and accessible, without damaging the ecosystem of the cave. Exploring it could be easy, though. I know there are exploration groups already that maintain good relations with the parks and continue to push the boundaries of what’s explored.
There’s been some speculation that surrounding cave systems might also be connected to Mammoth Cave, so who knows? The length is almost double the second longest cave system in the world, so any new additions could push that over the edge.
Not the largest but tthe longest out of all the discovered caves. The largest prolly have to be the one at Vietnam
My wife and I stopped by here on our honeymoon and it was a lot of fun. What a blast and a great memory.
Did have love in the cave ❤,that will be the best memory
Internet Historian, Thank you...
The general tour is very easy to do. No crawling, hiking, or climbing; just some stairs at the beginning. It does not cost much either. Very nice on a hot day as the cave is always cool.
not to try lose your bubble, and not in a rude way. but there is climbing. They have shut down some of the passages because the government hasn’t have them permission. I just went today, you do have to hike a long time, it can be exhausting, but was super cool! they are a lot of stairs, when you up the cave.
@@ThatTomatoSaladTrash_ Lol I went there a couple of years ago as a school trip and there wasn't any climbing involved.
@@olderalt.4066 I know. But it’s like climbing up a mountain, and walking.. they’re new things involved
@@ThatTomatoSaladTrash_ there are hundreds of stairs lol
I went back in 2010. The easiest path was via the main entrance and there was just a single set of stairs. I know they have several ways to explore the caves and those are much more intensive with regards to climbing and hiking. It could have changed since my visit though.
Cannot wait! Headed there next week and doing a couple tours, definitely excited and looks like it will be a great time!
I'm from Kentucky.. I love Mammoth Cave!!
Ew tbh
Wowwwww
How was your experience in it?
@@PM-tc6sl 2 years late but WYM by "ew"?
@@olderalt.4066srsly... im from kentucky and i dont get it either
I went on a tour of Mammoth cave, and then I found out mammoths never even lived in that cave! What a bummer . . .
Duh...Mammoth means huge
It was amazing. You feel like it goes on forever. Everyone able to walk should check it out.
Even those who have trouble walking or can't walk can find it pleasant. At least when I went, I remember them having some access for the handicap.
A gateway to Agartha.
I’m going here by the end of this week and it looks beautiful!
My first cave was in Oregon. Then explored wind cave an jewels cave is South Dakota. Mammoth cave looks to be intriguing.
Yes go, espeacially if your into that.
these look terrific!
great video!
Im from Asia and this cave is definitely in my bucket list. Tho im scared AF on caves with deep, dark wells. 😭
676 km haha no vietnam
I've been here before! Definitely try it out if you do come through here.
HP Lovecraft has a great story named 'the beast in the cave' that takes place inside mammoth cave. Great read.
Amazing
You have to see if you see anything in Kentucky
we're going in early april!
We are going next week!
We went there a couple months ago. Beautiful cave. Although we enjoyed Crystal Onyx down the road much better. We would highly recommend seeing that one too if your in the area.
Also on my bucket list.
Go you shall not be disappointed.
Have you been there Michael? Its been 3yrs. How I wish I could go to US to explore this cave as well. Hopefully, theres no deep, dark well. 😭
my school Deaw is going to this place for a field trip and this is malique flood lol
Is this the voice of the guy who narrates “Forensics Files”??
I don't think so....? I've watched a lot of FF episodes and he doesn't sound like the same guy to me..?
I think Daniel Sheedy.
And how the universe works
Does sound a lot like it. definetely from the era.
I love kentucky🏇
This would be a great horseback riding spot.

ജൂലിയസ് മാനുവേൽ കേട്ട് വന്നവരുണ്ടോ.... Mamath cave...stepen bishop... ❤️
One day I will take my family
Don't hesitate. I was able to float in the Echoe River at the bottom, I've since found out it is no longer available.
George Carlin brought me here.
havnt been there in almost 8 years
AAPS people where y’all at🤣🤣
I actually backed out. I was terrified.
That's too bad, I hope you maybe get another chance. You wouldn't regret it.
The area above and around the cave looks cooler to me (I'm not much of a cave person, to be honest) Looks like the kind of landscape I'd be eager to see and explore if I were in Kentucky.
JUST GO FOR IT! You'll have a memory of a lifetime.
Who else has been here before?
I went in November when I visited My cousin in Kentucky
I've been there. It is fascinating, no one could regret the trip.
World is not millions of years old only 6’000 it’s also flat.
you are a degenerate
100% correct Nancy! Thank you! Those are in fact Mammoth heat damaged melted red brick buildings of the old world those poor lied to deceived people are exploring in this video! Absolutely magnificent red brick buildings of the old world. The poor people can not see the obvious red bricks right in front of their faces everywhere or the heat damaged expanded melted red bricks everywhere because of the nasty, vile, evil lies they have been told their entire lifetimes by the worthless no life parasites! All the parasites do with their completely wasted lifetimes is lie to the people 24/7! The parasites actually enjoy being non-stop duncified human lie factories! Lie after lie after lie after lie! You already know this. Very happy to see you are on the right road Nancy and will never be deceived again by the wasted life duncified parasites. Thank you again and please never stop telling others. Poor Joshan below is stuck on the broadway with and under the spell of the duncified parasites.
Yep just a flat pancake soaring thru space
Anyone else here watching from 2020 in quarantine....?
Yep, I was looking for pictures for my girlfriend. I've been there, she has not.
