In the 1850s, the London authorities came up with an interesting project: an underground train. Later, this marvel of engineering will be given an official name: the subway. The reason for the need to create an alternative way to get around the city was the traffic jams.
Unbelievable, but in the 1850s, London already had traffic problems on the streets. The large number of taxi drivers and the uncontrolled movement of the city’s residents made it seriously difficult for the riders to get to the right place at the right time.
The best minds have dedicated themselves to resolving this situation. Some suggested using flying means like balloons, but it was very unsafe. Others wanted to introduce ministerial guards.
At that time, it was forbidden to appear on the streets of London to everyone except policemen and gentlemen who needed to get to the right place quickly. As a result, the engineers consulted and proposed an interesting project – the subway.
The city authorities reacted with great enthusiasm to this proposal. And the construction began. Granted, there was no need to build much. Under London there was a network of tunnels acceptable for the construction of the tube.
Archaeologists wanted to explore the tunnels, but city officials did not want to slow down the pace of subway construction, and as a result, the discovered passages were never dated.
Who and when built them dozens of meters underground? We don’t know.
English engineer and builder Geoff Stockers wrote of the construction of the London Underground: “It was decided by decision of the council to use the discovered tunnels. This greatly simplified the task, as the vaults of the structures were perfectly reinforced with stones.
The actual task was to lay the lines and clear the 35-meter-deep flooded area from the water. As a result, the first metro stations will come online much earlier than originally planned.”
A similar situation occurred during the construction of the subway in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Los Angeles, London, Rome, Madrid, Naples, Glasgow and other cities.
Some of the stations and tunnels, of course, were built from scratch, but the truth is that the old underground tunnels under the big cities were used to simplify project deadlines.
Who built these ancient structures? If they were just tunnels to transport people, why are they so big that a modern train easily fits into them?
Antiquities researcher Graham Paul claims that these excavated dungeons are tens or hundreds of thousands of years old. At that time, a technologically advanced civilization already existed on Earth. And these tunnels were an antediluvian pneumatic underground.
There is a hypothesis that history is cyclical and has repeatedly reached the peak of its development on our planet, but then disappears and dies. It was its heritage that engineers of the 19th and 20th centuries used in the construction of the modern subway in several cities.
Think about it. Ancient people extracted millions of cubic meters of earth from the ground. The depth of these tunnels varies from 15 to 80 meters.
So… “Why did the ancient inhabitants of the planet need to build underground tunnel complexes that were so complicated and so deep?”
Obviously, the reason was very serious, as the time and effort invested had to be equal to the problem that forced them to start building massively underground.
Was it a global cataclysm, a world war, or simply did technological progress necessitate the use of underground space?
