Cave of Crystals discovered 1,000ft below a Mexican desert

At first, I got excited because i thought I would see a small cave covered in tiny crystals and stuff. Then when I saw the image and was like, oh... small cave with big crystals, thats neat... then I saw all the little people. thats just so awesome. Starred and flagged, thats just an amazing cave, id love to see it in life.

Reminds me of supermans fortress. So is this thing really true or photoshopped little people over small crystals? any videos on this? I'l youtube it.

This is absolutely amazing, how id love to venture through these parts of the world. Kind of reminds me of Fraggle Rock!!

Yeah right; this earth is approx no more then 20,000 years old at most.

Carbon dating is the most flawless type of estimation of our planet age.

Did they find Superman there? Really though this is cool, you get so caught up at looking into space it takes a find like this to remind us there is undiscovered territory right next to us.

I didnt watch either video because the internet at my college sucks. But I just wanted to add on that, yes, they need those suits because down in those caves it is 120 degrees and over 80% humidity, which all together means that body is unable to sweat to cool itself. You would start dying literally the minute you walked in. Those suits are packed with ice, and even with them, the scientists have difficulty moving, and only have half an hour max to get in and get out with research. Awesome caves, again.

LOL the first thing i thought of too. I wonder if superman's Latina house keper from "Family Guy" segment answered the door.

This is old news. the water was drained out of this cave years ago. folks have been entering this cave for several years.

I think it came out a few years ago?

yeah, I remember wondering if this was formed because of the chixulub impact in the yucatan, the one that did the dinos in.

this isn't a new discovery. sombody tried stealing these crystals. they made a steel door to lock people out so what the person did was bore a small hole into the side of the cave and being so far down and so hot in there they couldn't fit back through the hole and died in there trying to get back out.

Absolutely Fantastic...
