We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Could it be a nice spot to grow mushrooms?
I've seen dark. It's a time portal
No one read the article, but every suggestion in the comments are already dismissed by more educated experts.
My guess is that since it typically had a bench at the end, it was used by people to consume drugs/mushrooms in a ritualistic event and exit as a form of rebirth while still high as fuck.
You'd expect any kind of ritualistic practice that widespread to have some sort of historical record related to the practice
Eating mushrooms in a tiny cave has been going on for centuries, so yes it indeed had, and currently does, have historical records.
You seriously underestimate how poorly documented the non-Christian religions were.
And oppressed and deeply secret, one might even say, underground
It's probably just some kids messing around:
Looks like that kid dug it
Ice storage?
Damn, good guess! That beats the hell out of "ceremonial".
"ceremonial" is the standard answer when they can't figure it out.
It's obviously a masturbation den
THATS why they left viewing slits!
The most common explanation is that they served some religious purpose, but many archaeologists are very happy to label all kinds of things religious and ceremonial when they don't know what else to call it, so who knows? There have been very few artifacts found in them. We'll probably never find out.
("Ceremonial" is often archaeology speak for "we have no idea what the fuck this was for.")
My favorite thing is when archaeologists dig up female statues with big breasts and wide hips and call them evidence for a "cult of fertility". I guess that sounds more sciencey than "porn".
I actually heard a very interesting hypothesis about those statues, which I find compelling- pregnant women carved them as self-portraits, done by looking downward at their bodies, hence the odd proportions.
But sure, maybe porn. I can accept that too. We will probably never know.
Or the obviously dildos that are "fertility idols"
Dark meditation retreats are common in Tibetan Buddhism. The birthing canal metaphor is also extremely common in ritual ceremonies.
I didn't know giantess fetishes had so much overlap with ritual ceremony metaphors.
The equivalent to this I know of are located outside of central europe, specifically Ireland. Located in and under church grounds and graveyards they were used to hide/store valuables during raids, if not the congregation in like the 6th century.
This was according to the local priest in deep rural donegal, mind you.

I was just about to post this, but I see you already covered it lol
Your title is a bit misleading. It's not one tunnel or an interconnected tunnel network. And most of the tunnels are pretty short. No more than 50 meters most of the time.
But what if, though? Maybe the mole men do exist.
My kid is obsessed with Henry Danger. It's corny as all get out, but can be pretty funny. This is one of the better scenes and entirely related: https://youtu.be/a3q4IXx7zeY?feature=shared&t=117
I hated that show with a passion when my kid first started watching it. Then one night after he went to bed, he left it on TV and I got stoned and just couldn't be bothered to change it while I played on my phone. Then I got to where I put my phone down and was just legit watching it and laughing my ass off. After that, I found myself sitting there watching it with him and enjoying it totally sober.
right? The voices are annoying as fuck, but once you get past it it's very 90s esque comedy.
Has anyone alerted the Fantastic Four?
End the mole men patriarchy! Mole women unite!
