It’s amazing but two statements stick out to me…
Around these he dreamed there lived a highly evolved community who enjoyed an idyllic existence in which all the people worked for the common good.
Stunned by what they had found, the authorities decided to seize the temples on behalf of the government.
Does anyone else see the irony here?
After seeing that, does the creative power of man blow your mind or what? That’s just flat out amazing!
They have set up a ‘constitution’:

I agree, I just wish the people who made it would appreciate that themselves though.
Astounding… but that word only begins to serve this creation justice. I like Falco’s statement, which closes the article, that it’s meant to make us think we’re capable of more than we realize. What a fantastic creation. Not even the creator’s communal idealism could negate its beauty.

I think they appreciate it, as 4reason makes note. And, also, the reason I didn’t focus on their superficial, common-place political philosophy, is because it paled in comparison to what they, or Falco really, achieved.

Has this “wonder” ever been scientifically vetted? Ever since I saw -Wag the Dog- I have my doubts about things like this.

Just curious, but what is there to scientifically vet about this “wonder”?

What tunnel digging technology was used. How were the tailings disposed of. That sort of thing.

It does seem extremely well lit for being 100 feet underground. Particularly that glass dome. Even the tunnel photo seems to show sunlight entering through the windows. You might be on to something here, Bob.

I get an itchy feeling when something as spectacular as this is reported in only one place, some English tabloid. I tend to disbelieve stories that are only reported in -The Inquirer- for the same reason. Something as “wonderful” as claimed here would have geologists, architects, engineers all over the place just to see how it was done. Think of how many articles have been written about the city of Petra in Jordan since it was discovered. Petra has been examined by all sorts of professionals.
You would be surprised at how many professional scientists fell for Uri Geller’s crap. The more “wonderful” and wonder is, the more many really, really want to believe it. We have a craving for wonders and miracles. Unfortunately the real world is rarely as wonderful as we would like it to be, at least at the mundane level of observation. To really see wonders you have to look at the very large and the very small.

OK, those seem like reasonable questions. I was surprised at the size of the thing.

They have a website with detailed photos, plans, etc, and they offer tours:
Plus a report from ABC News:
I saw that this was one of several locations featured on the ABC morning show, Good Morning America. I wasn’t able to see the actual report, but it seems the place actually exists.
