Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My previous books on ancient civilizations, megaliths, strange objects out of time, Atlantis, and Giants have led me to this last book on underground structures.This book which is about ancient tunnels and underground cities. From the previous research I've done on related topics I do strongly believe that these findings are related to ancient civilizations which we know existed from ruins on the Earth. Some of these findings are stories have more evidence to prove they are real than others. This is why I've divided this book up into two parts. In part one are the ruins of underground tunnels and cities we know to exist. The second part has to do with stories and legends of underground tunnels and cities which we can't prove are real or not. They might be real or might just be fanciful stories. In any event I hope you enjoy these explorations and see how they are tied to other megalithic ruins, Giants, and finds from millions of years ago. I should also state that there are lots of claims of extraterrestrial underground tunnels, and cities, and ones our governments keep secret. My focus is on ancient subterranean structures and tunnels which may have been used by previous civilizations on Earth.

Book excerpt: With over 60 per cent of the world’s population living in cities, the networks beneath our feet – which keep the cities above moving – are more important than ever before. Yet we never truly see how these amazing feats of engineering work. Just how deep do the tunnels go? Where do the sewers, bunkers and postal trains run? And, how many tunnels are there under our streets? Each featured city presents a ‘skyline of the underground’ through specially commissioned cut-away illustrations and unique cartography. Drawing on geography, cartography and historical oddities, Mark Ovenden explores what our cities look like from the bottom up.

Book excerpt: “[A] winningly obsessive history of our relationship with underground places” (The Guardian), from sacred caves and derelict subway stations to nuclear bunkers and ancient underground cities—an exploration of the history, science, architecture, and mythology of the worlds beneath our feet NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR When Will Hunt was sixteen years old, he discovered an abandoned tunnel that ran beneath his house in Providence, Rhode Island. His first tunnel trips inspired a lifelong fascination with exploring underground worlds, from the derelict subway stations and sewers of New York City to sacred caves, catacombs, tombs, bunkers, and ancient underground cities in more than twenty countries around the world. Underground is both a personal exploration of Hunt’s obsession and a panoramic study of how we are all connected to the underground, how caves and other dark hollows have frightened and enchanted us through the ages. In a narrative spanning continents and epochs, Hunt follows a cast of subterraneaphiles who have dedicated themselves to investigating underground worlds. He tracks the origins of life with a team of NASA microbiologists a mile beneath the Black Hills, camps out for three days with urban explorers in the catacombs and sewers of Paris, descends with an Aboriginal family into a 35,000-year-old mine in the Australian outback, and glimpses a sacred sculpture molded by Paleolithic artists in the depths of a cave in the Pyrenees. Each adventure is woven with findings in mythology and anthropology, natural history and neuroscience, literature and philosophy. In elegant and graceful prose, Hunt cures us of our “surface chauvinism,” opening our eyes to the planet’s hidden dimension. He reveals how the subterranean landscape gave shape to our most basic beliefs and guided how we think about ourselves as humans. At bottom, Underground is a meditation on the allure of darkness, the power of mystery, and our eternal desire to connect with what we cannot see. Praise for Underground “A mesmerizingly fascinating tale . . . I could not stop reading this beautifully written book.”—Michael Finkel, author of The Stranger in the Woods “Few books have blown my mind so totally, and so often. In Will Hunt’s nimble hands, excursion becomes inversion, and the darkness turns luminous. There are echoes of Sebald, Calvino, and Herzog in his elegant and enigmatic voice, but also real warmth and humor. . . . An intrepid—but far from fearless—journey, both theoretically and terrestrially.”—Robert Moor, New York Times bestselling author of On Trails

Excerpt: An Underground city is a series of linked subterranean spaces that may provide a defensive refuge; a place for living, working or shopping; a transit system; mausolea; wine or storage cellars; cisterns or drainage channels; or several of these. The term may also refer to a network of tunnels that connects buildings beneath street level. These tunnels may house office blocks, shopping malls, metro stations, theatres, and other attractions. These passages can usually be accessed through the public space of any of the buildings connecting to them, and sometimes have separate entries as well. The latter definition encompasses many modern structures, while the former more generally covers tunnel systems from ancient times to the present day. Underground cities are especially important in cities with cold climates, as they permit the downtown core to be comfortably accessible year round without regard to the weather. Underground cities are similar in nature to skyway systems and may include some buildings linked by skyways or above-ground corridors rather than underground. Possibly the most famous underground cities are Montreal's RESO, used by more people than any other locale and is the largest underground city network in the world, and...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tales of the subterranean tunnels under the historic town of Malacca has existed for over a century. There were stories of tunnels that served as the governor’s secret emergency exit from the fortress and a mile long tunnel that once connected the fortress of Malacca to the fort on St. John’s hill, strategically built for the defence of the town. There were also stories of a tunnel under St. Paul’s hill and how people had gone into these tunnels but were never to been seen again because they were eaten alive by a giant mythical serpent who guards the tunnels. What secrets do the tunnels contain and why were people willing to risk their life by descending into the the dark and unknown orifices below Malacca? Is there lost treasure still buried in Malacca? Did the last Sultan of Malacca stash his huge cache of gold after the Portuguese captured Malacca and the secret vault still remains undiscovered till today? Was Malacca Ptolemy’s Golden Chersonese and the Ophir the source of King Solomon’s gold? This book uncovers the layers of history that unfolds Malacca’s most bizarre and amazing legend.

This book was released on 2019-04-17 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tunnels and Underground Cities: Engineering and Innovation meet Archaeology, Architecture and Art contains the contributions presented at the World Tunnel Congress 2019 (Naples, Italy, 3-9 May 2019). The use of underground space is continuing to grow, due to global urbanization, public demand for efficient transportation, and energy saving, production and distribution. The growing need for space at ground level, along with its continuous value increase and the challenges of energy saving and achieving sustainable development objectives, demand greater and better use of the underground space to ensure that it supports sustainable, resilient and more liveable cities. This vision was the source of inspiration for the design of the logos of both the International (ITA) and Italian (SIG) Tunnelling Association. By placing key infrastructures underground – the black circle in the logos – it will be possible to preserve and enhance the quality of the space at ground level – the green line. In order to consider and value underground space usage together with human and social needs, engineers, architects, and artists will have to learn to collaborate and develop an interdisciplinary design approach that addresses functionality, safety, aesthetics and quality of life, and adaptability to future and varied functions. The 700 contributions cover a wide range of topics, from more traditional subjects connected to technical challenges of design and construction of underground works, with emphasis on innovation in tunneling engineering, to less conventional and archetypically Italian themes such as archaeology, architecture, and art. The book has the following main themes: Archaeology, Architecture and Art in underground construction; Environment sustainability in underground construction; Geological and geotechnical knowledge and requirements for project implementation; Ground improvement in underground constructions; Innovation in underground engineering, materials and equipment; Long and deep tunnels; Public communication and awareness; Risk management, contracts and financial aspects; Safety in underground construction; Strategic use of underground space for resilient cities; Urban tunnels. Tunnels and Underground Cities: Engineering and Innovation meet Archaeology, Architecture and Art is a valuable reference text for tunneling specialists, owners, engineers, architects and others involved in underground planning, design and building around the world, and for academics who are interested in underground constructions and geotechnics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Underground City of Cappadocia is a fictional portrayal of the Great Persecution. In 303AD, dominated by an evil emperor, the Roman Empire proclaimed war on the Christians. Believers were forced to worship the emperor or face enslavement, torture and death. The Christians of Cappadocia (Central Turkey), create an underground city to protect themselves from the Romans. Leadership struggles arise as Christians fight for power. Can Christians truly unite and work together amidst challenging circumstances? The conclusion of the story represents one of the most dramatic transformations in history, creating hope amidst the challenges of today. "Edward Feuer masterfully brings an important chapter in the development of the Christian church to life in this historical novel. He has created characters so compelling that one looks forward to what's in the next chapter and wants even more when the story ends." Mark Fingerlin Vistage International "Fascinating history and a great job of historical fiction premised on scriptural truth." Leith Swanson Founder of Global Oceanic "I did not grasp the depth of church unity until reading The Underground City of Cappadocia." Kent Porter Porter Leadership Development

The story of an outcast boy, his eccentric dad, and the scary underground world they discover through secret TUNNELS.14-year-old Will Burrows has little in common with his strange, dysfunctional family. In fact, the only bond he shares with his eccentric father is a passion for archaeological excavation. So when Dad mysteriously vanishes, Will is compelled to dig up the truth behind his disappearance. He unearths the unbelievable: a secret subterranean society. "The Colony" has existed unchanged for a century, but it's no benign time capsule of a bygone era--because the Colony is ruled by a cultlike overclass, the Styx. Before long--before he can find his father--Will is their prisoner....
