Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:04,567 --> 00:00:06,266
Bro, those are old, old timbers.
2
00:00:07,967 --> 00:00:09,967
Look at this. Look at this.
3
00:00:10,133 --> 00:00:11,567
Look at these old timbers in here.
4
00:00:11,734 --> 00:00:13,867
- It's an inclined shaft.
- It is, man.
5
00:00:14,033 --> 00:00:15,033
This is a door.
6
00:00:15,900 --> 00:00:18,076
I'm going in that hole right now.
7
00:00:18,100 --> 00:00:21,300
Someone sealed this tunnel
off a very long time ago.
8
00:00:21,467 --> 00:00:22,843
You can tell just by looking at these
9
00:00:22,867 --> 00:00:24,800
that this is hundreds of years of decay.
10
00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:27,567
Let's do this.
11
00:00:27,734 --> 00:00:29,266
- Here we go.
- Yeah.
12
00:00:29,433 --> 00:00:31,076
Be careful. We got to watch our heads.
13
00:00:31,100 --> 00:00:32,200
Ok.
14
00:00:33,767 --> 00:00:35,400
- Watch your head, brother.
- All right.
15
00:00:37,867 --> 00:00:41,066
Holy man, this goes
way back in here, bro.
16
00:00:41,233 --> 00:00:42,553
- I'm coming, Chad.
- Come on in.
17
00:00:44,900 --> 00:00:46,000
Nice.
18
00:00:47,867 --> 00:00:49,367
Look at this shit.
19
00:00:49,533 --> 00:00:50,533
Yeah.
20
00:00:51,367 --> 00:00:53,166
My god. Look at this.
21
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,467
- This thing continues.
- It goes further back. Look at that.
22
00:00:59,066 --> 00:01:00,600
Look, it goes up here, too.
23
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,080
I'm just jotting this down.
24
00:01:07,166 --> 00:01:08,242
We don't want to get lost in here.
25
00:01:08,266 --> 00:01:09,543
I'm noting down every turn.
26
00:01:09,567 --> 00:01:11,166
You know, how far we've traveled,
27
00:01:11,333 --> 00:01:12,443
you know, that sort of thing,
28
00:01:12,467 --> 00:01:13,707
- so... what?
- Josh, shh, shh.
29
00:01:31,166 --> 00:01:32,266
There's someone in here.
30
00:01:37,867 --> 00:01:39,700
Legends of ancient treasures...
31
00:01:39,867 --> 00:01:42,000
This has to be hundreds of years back.
32
00:01:42,166 --> 00:01:45,543
And unexplained phenomena...
What the hell is that?
33
00:01:45,567 --> 00:01:49,543
Meet at a 160-acre
property in northeast Utah,
34
00:01:49,567 --> 00:01:52,076
known as blind frog ranch,
35
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:54,543
where Duane olinger and his team
36
00:01:54,567 --> 00:01:57,500
are digging in search
of long-lost aztec gold.
37
00:01:57,667 --> 00:01:59,467
Could the aztecs have discovered this?
38
00:01:59,634 --> 00:02:00,767
But the closer they get...
39
00:02:00,934 --> 00:02:03,100
I finally get to hold gold in my hand.
40
00:02:03,266 --> 00:02:05,166
The more the land fights back.
41
00:02:05,333 --> 00:02:07,367
- Poison gas.
- Go! Go!
42
00:02:07,533 --> 00:02:10,367
Now Duane will move
heaven... Here you go.
43
00:02:10,533 --> 00:02:11,933
- And earth...
- Fire in the hole.
44
00:02:12,567 --> 00:02:15,100
Until he gets to the
bottom of this mystery.
45
00:02:15,266 --> 00:02:18,066
We've started this whole
deal, and we're sure as hell
46
00:02:18,233 --> 00:02:19,042
gonna finish it.
47
00:02:19,066 --> 00:02:20,767
And solves what's lurking below...
48
00:02:20,934 --> 00:02:22,076
Holy, there's something in there.
49
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:23,300
Guys!
50
00:02:24,867 --> 00:02:26,400
At blind frog ranch.
51
00:02:34,667 --> 00:02:36,233
Do you see it? It's coming right in.
52
00:02:38,700 --> 00:02:41,180
I'm flying the drone right now
with the lidar equipment on it.
53
00:02:41,867 --> 00:02:44,967
This particular unit is 4k resolution.
54
00:02:46,767 --> 00:02:49,500
I've been scanning
the meteorite fault zone
55
00:02:49,667 --> 00:02:51,467
between the open pit
and the energy zone.
56
00:02:52,367 --> 00:02:54,467
Ultimately, it'll give me a 4d image,
57
00:02:54,634 --> 00:02:57,200
a very detailed image of this area.
58
00:02:57,367 --> 00:03:00,100
We'll be able to subtract
out the vegetation here.
59
00:03:01,300 --> 00:03:03,000
If there's an underground opening here,
60
00:03:03,166 --> 00:03:05,543
this is where it's gonna be.
61
00:03:05,567 --> 00:03:08,567
For the past several weeks,
the team has been searching
62
00:03:08,734 --> 00:03:10,900
for an opening to the keyhole chamber
63
00:03:11,066 --> 00:03:13,266
along the meteorite fault zone.
64
00:03:13,433 --> 00:03:15,500
These are doorways
into the underground.
65
00:03:15,667 --> 00:03:17,600
It's connected to that keyhole chamber.
66
00:03:17,767 --> 00:03:20,266
I think this place does
have a lot of potential.
67
00:03:20,433 --> 00:03:22,976
And after discovering a
collapsed opening near
68
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,367
the open pit mine... This
whole thing is a void, man.
69
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,076
The team believes they have
found an underground void that
70
00:03:31,100 --> 00:03:33,266
connects to the keyhole chamber.
71
00:03:35,367 --> 00:03:39,667
Now, Eric is using enhanced
lidar to scan one mile
72
00:03:39,834 --> 00:03:42,800
of the fault line to identify
other potential openings.
73
00:03:44,166 --> 00:03:46,242
So, this is my final pass here.
74
00:03:46,266 --> 00:03:49,967
I've got it pre-programmed
to do about a mile square grid.
75
00:03:51,667 --> 00:03:54,266
Once I'm done here, I'll
go back, look at the data,
76
00:03:54,433 --> 00:03:55,743
and find the most compelling spot
77
00:03:55,767 --> 00:03:57,367
where the underground opening will be.
78
00:04:04,066 --> 00:04:06,667
And so, I'm just gonna let it run here.
79
00:04:06,834 --> 00:04:11,443
The end result is an amazingly
detailed high-resolution map.
80
00:04:11,467 --> 00:04:14,976
We can do things like
subtract out the vegetation.
81
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,066
And so, what I can actually
see is, I can see the geology.
82
00:04:19,100 --> 00:04:21,000
And that allows me to look at features
83
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,700
such as cave openings.
84
00:04:25,767 --> 00:04:28,100
They show up as little
anomalies, basically.
85
00:04:29,066 --> 00:04:31,843
And I can pinpoint
each of those locations,
86
00:04:31,867 --> 00:04:36,142
get a GPS coordinate on them,
and then we can get to them.
87
00:04:36,166 --> 00:04:37,543
So what I'm seeing here is
88
00:04:37,567 --> 00:04:40,266
there's a cave opening right there.
89
00:04:41,667 --> 00:04:43,867
I see another cave opening right there.
90
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,066
Fault zone, there's
another one right there.
91
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:54,100
This is what we need to check out.
92
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,300
How's it going, guys.
93
00:05:07,166 --> 00:05:09,000
I've gathered up the
fellas today to go over
94
00:05:09,166 --> 00:05:10,643
the lidar results that we have,
95
00:05:10,667 --> 00:05:12,700
I'm psyched to hear
what Eric has uncovered.
96
00:05:14,266 --> 00:05:17,467
I mean, every little clue
we find can lead us possibly
97
00:05:17,634 --> 00:05:18,676
into another entrance
98
00:05:18,700 --> 00:05:21,400
to this underground keyhole
cavern system we have.
99
00:05:22,467 --> 00:05:25,867
We got the results of the lidar scan here.
100
00:05:26,033 --> 00:05:27,843
I've got some real
encouraging signs here.
101
00:05:27,867 --> 00:05:30,600
I'm looking at several
intriguing possibilities.
102
00:05:31,667 --> 00:05:33,266
I've got three potential openings
103
00:05:33,433 --> 00:05:35,166
that I want to investigate.
104
00:05:35,333 --> 00:05:37,543
They're all spread across the fault line.
105
00:05:37,567 --> 00:05:40,076
This area here, if you
look on the bottom here,
106
00:05:40,100 --> 00:05:41,543
you'll have a lat and long
107
00:05:41,567 --> 00:05:43,400
that is definitely worth looking into.
108
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,000
Eric's scans have located three openings
109
00:05:47,166 --> 00:05:49,843
along the fault line that
are large enough to be
110
00:05:49,867 --> 00:05:53,066
potential entrances into
the underground void.
111
00:05:53,233 --> 00:05:55,743
All are just south of the open pit mine
112
00:05:55,767 --> 00:05:58,242
and the collapsed opening.
113
00:05:58,266 --> 00:05:59,710
I mean, if you're finding these sites
114
00:05:59,734 --> 00:06:01,800
on the same fault line, that same trend,
115
00:06:01,967 --> 00:06:03,967
this is the path that we want to be on
116
00:06:04,133 --> 00:06:05,643
and that we want to follow, right here.
117
00:06:05,667 --> 00:06:07,166
I mean, that's incredible, Eric.
118
00:06:09,367 --> 00:06:10,509
I mean, we got multiple fronts
119
00:06:10,533 --> 00:06:12,100
that we have to attack here, right?
120
00:06:12,266 --> 00:06:13,142
And each of these sites has
121
00:06:13,166 --> 00:06:15,242
different, unique qualities about them.
122
00:06:15,266 --> 00:06:18,242
I think we should split up
and check them all right now.
123
00:06:18,266 --> 00:06:19,700
- What do you think?
- Yeah.
124
00:06:19,867 --> 00:06:21,266
- Yeah.
- Agreed.
125
00:06:21,433 --> 00:06:23,266
- Hell yeah.
- Let's do this.
126
00:06:23,433 --> 00:06:24,433
Pack up and go.
127
00:06:31,667 --> 00:06:35,900
I can already see a crisscross
of more fault right up here.
128
00:06:36,066 --> 00:06:37,700
Let's keep moving. We're almost there.
129
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,367
To investigate the openings
130
00:06:40,533 --> 00:06:42,567
identified on the lidar scans...
131
00:06:44,367 --> 00:06:45,367
Right over there.
132
00:06:45,533 --> 00:06:47,976
That'll give us a direct line down.
133
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,266
We're looking just about
due north, right up in here.
134
00:06:52,500 --> 00:06:55,800
The team will split up into three groups.
135
00:06:55,967 --> 00:06:58,266
Eric will examine the cave to the south.
136
00:06:58,433 --> 00:07:02,400
Chad and Josh will go north,
leaving James and Charlie to
137
00:07:02,567 --> 00:07:04,500
inspect the cave to the west.
138
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,600
Yeah, right here, Charles,
is where they crisscross.
139
00:07:13,767 --> 00:07:16,543
- The fault line?
- Yeah, at the creek.
140
00:07:16,567 --> 00:07:19,242
So we'll go across this way.
141
00:07:19,266 --> 00:07:20,746
Well, this is what we're looking for.
142
00:07:22,367 --> 00:07:23,647
What the hell is this over here?
143
00:07:23,734 --> 00:07:24,734
What is that?
144
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,000
- That's a ear tag.
- Man.
145
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,242
Something ripped that cow's ear off.
146
00:07:35,266 --> 00:07:36,900
- That's number 840...
- 846?
147
00:07:37,066 --> 00:07:41,743
Number 846. And that's a local rancher.
148
00:07:41,767 --> 00:07:43,467
Where's the rest of the cow?
149
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:48,900
Look here.
150
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,000
Shoot. There it is.
151
00:07:52,667 --> 00:07:54,467
- That's the rest of it right there.
- Yeah.
152
00:07:55,867 --> 00:07:58,076
I can still see the meat
153
00:07:58,100 --> 00:08:00,266
- protruding out of the neck.
- Yep.
154
00:08:00,433 --> 00:08:02,593
You can see the bone
sticking out of the neck where it
155
00:08:02,634 --> 00:08:03,900
- snapped it, too.
- Yeah.
156
00:08:05,100 --> 00:08:08,000
Something got a hold of this
cow, and it was a vicious kill.
157
00:08:09,867 --> 00:08:11,100
Let's keep moving.
158
00:08:13,567 --> 00:08:16,100
There's a lot of mineral
coming up out of the ground
159
00:08:16,266 --> 00:08:17,746
- on these faults right here.
- Yeah.
160
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,300
Careful right through here.
161
00:08:22,100 --> 00:08:24,800
The stream. Hey, look.
162
00:08:24,967 --> 00:08:26,800
Look right here. Look at this.
163
00:08:29,266 --> 00:08:31,166
That's it. That's our opening.
164
00:08:32,066 --> 00:08:33,967
That looks large in there. Look at that.
165
00:08:36,066 --> 00:08:37,226
It almost looks like somebody
166
00:08:37,266 --> 00:08:38,800
might have tried covering it up.
167
00:08:41,266 --> 00:08:44,076
Damn, James. That thing opens up.
168
00:08:44,100 --> 00:08:46,142
Plenty of room in there,
and it looks like it goes back
169
00:08:46,166 --> 00:08:47,526
to the right and goes up this way.
170
00:08:48,367 --> 00:08:50,200
I'm gonna go in and take a look.
171
00:08:50,367 --> 00:08:53,066
Let's see what we can see
on camera when I get in there.
172
00:09:08,967 --> 00:09:10,367
Yeah.
173
00:09:16,300 --> 00:09:20,343
I'm gonna have to get
past a -ton of spiders here.
174
00:09:20,367 --> 00:09:21,467
Not my favorite.
175
00:09:23,934 --> 00:09:25,367
Goes back.
176
00:09:26,367 --> 00:09:27,467
This has been dug out,
177
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,200
and... there is copper everywhere.
178
00:09:32,367 --> 00:09:34,400
- Hell.
- Man, look at this.
179
00:09:36,767 --> 00:09:41,076
They were headed northwest,
from what I could tell.
180
00:09:41,100 --> 00:09:43,767
It looks like they were
cutting across the fault.
181
00:09:45,166 --> 00:09:47,667
Hey, it really does open up.
182
00:09:51,166 --> 00:09:54,066
Yeah. There's some bones back here.
183
00:09:55,467 --> 00:09:58,300
It was a lair for something at some point.
184
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,142
James.
185
00:10:02,166 --> 00:10:04,166
I'm kind of losing sight of you out here,
186
00:10:04,333 --> 00:10:05,767
so how deep are you?
187
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,543
It goes about 12 feet back.
188
00:10:09,567 --> 00:10:14,367
This might have gone down
deeper, and all the runoff
189
00:10:14,533 --> 00:10:16,700
and the mud came in and closed this up.
190
00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:20,166
But it's a dead end back here, Charles.
191
00:10:22,300 --> 00:10:24,100
- I'm gonna head back up.
- Ok.
192
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,900
That opening's about
20 yards from here.
193
00:10:35,700 --> 00:10:39,142
Just south of the collapsed
pit, Chad and Josh are
194
00:10:39,166 --> 00:10:42,843
approaching the cave opening
identified by the lidar scan,
195
00:10:42,867 --> 00:10:45,300
which sits three quarters of a mile away
196
00:10:45,467 --> 00:10:46,967
from the keyhole chamber.
197
00:10:52,467 --> 00:10:54,100
Hey, Chad, check this out.
198
00:10:56,567 --> 00:10:58,527
Yeah, man, I think this
earth has been disturbed.
199
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,500
Could be like a washout or don't really...?
200
00:11:02,667 --> 00:11:03,443
I don't think so.
201
00:11:03,467 --> 00:11:04,967
I think this soil has been worked.
202
00:11:05,133 --> 00:11:06,213
Somebody's moved this soil.
203
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,300
Right here.
204
00:11:15,166 --> 00:11:17,066
That's our opening, right there.
205
00:11:17,233 --> 00:11:18,634
Yep, that's it.
206
00:11:19,767 --> 00:11:21,976
- See this tree still hanging on, barely?
- Yeah.
207
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,000
So this just dropped not that long ago.
208
00:11:25,100 --> 00:11:27,100
What do you think,
this is erosion or what?
209
00:11:27,266 --> 00:11:29,242
Yeah, I don't think this
is just simple erosion.
210
00:11:29,266 --> 00:11:31,543
It looks like all this material has caved in.
211
00:11:31,567 --> 00:11:32,667
This has been worked.
212
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,867
Well, let's dig it out.
213
00:11:37,867 --> 00:11:39,507
- Look at this big...
- is it a capstone?
214
00:11:39,567 --> 00:11:40,943
Yeah, let's see if we can get this rock.
215
00:11:40,967 --> 00:11:43,300
Can we move that rock? Get it, Chad.
216
00:11:43,467 --> 00:11:44,467
There.
217
00:11:45,500 --> 00:11:46,600
Is that a timber?
218
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,166
, I think that's a timber, Chad.
219
00:11:51,300 --> 00:11:54,443
That is definitely logs in there.
220
00:11:54,467 --> 00:11:56,543
Bro, those are old, old timbers.
221
00:11:56,567 --> 00:11:58,500
Look at this. Look at this.
222
00:11:58,667 --> 00:12:00,567
Look at these old timbers in here.
223
00:12:00,734 --> 00:12:03,467
- These are hand hewn.
- What else is in there?
224
00:12:05,567 --> 00:12:06,667
This is a door.
225
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,100
Holy.
226
00:12:16,066 --> 00:12:18,076
2 bro, those are old, old timbers.
227
00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:20,076
Look at this. Look at this.
228
00:12:20,100 --> 00:12:21,734
Look at these old timbers in here.
229
00:12:21,900 --> 00:12:24,066
- It's an inclined shaft.
- It is, man.
230
00:12:24,233 --> 00:12:25,400
This is a door.
231
00:12:26,300 --> 00:12:29,400
Chad and Josh are
investigating one of the three
232
00:12:29,567 --> 00:12:33,600
cave entrances found with
Eric's lidar scan and have
233
00:12:33,767 --> 00:12:36,734
unearthed what looks
to be an ancient doorway
234
00:12:36,900 --> 00:12:38,543
to the underground.
235
00:12:38,567 --> 00:12:40,843
The opening is three
quarters of a mile north
236
00:12:40,867 --> 00:12:43,967
from the keyhole chamber
and seems to descend
237
00:12:44,133 --> 00:12:46,600
deep into the earth at a steep angle.
238
00:12:48,033 --> 00:12:49,242
I'm gonna pull this top timber.
239
00:12:49,266 --> 00:12:50,667
- All right.
- Here we go.
240
00:12:52,567 --> 00:12:55,667
- Look at that thing.
- This is old.
241
00:12:55,834 --> 00:12:58,200
Look at that. Look at that.
242
00:12:58,367 --> 00:12:59,934
That is an old timber.
243
00:13:00,166 --> 00:13:03,100
Someone sealed this tunnel
off a very long time ago.
244
00:13:03,266 --> 00:13:05,142
You can tell just by
looking at these that this is
245
00:13:05,166 --> 00:13:06,667
hundreds of years of decay.
246
00:13:08,266 --> 00:13:09,443
It's just... it crumbles.
247
00:13:09,467 --> 00:13:11,400
It just crumbles apart.
248
00:13:11,567 --> 00:13:14,834
This has been underground
for, I mean, hundreds of years.
249
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,667
This could be like the same
material that's in the pond.
250
00:13:17,834 --> 00:13:19,767
The wood looked just like this.
251
00:13:20,834 --> 00:13:23,567
A few years ago, the
team discovered a large
252
00:13:23,734 --> 00:13:26,767
timber box submerged in
the pond cavern system.
253
00:13:27,734 --> 00:13:31,500
These door fragments
appear to be very similar.
254
00:13:33,367 --> 00:13:35,451
The way this is built, the
way this is constructed...
255
00:13:35,475 --> 00:13:35,743
Yeah.
256
00:13:35,767 --> 00:13:38,743
I mean, this predates westerners.
257
00:13:38,767 --> 00:13:41,743
- This is hand hewn?
- This is all hand hewn.
258
00:13:41,767 --> 00:13:43,076
Every bit of it.
259
00:13:43,100 --> 00:13:45,180
Whoever put these timbers
in here, they were some of
260
00:13:45,266 --> 00:13:49,734
the first people to ever mine,
explore, prospect, anything.
261
00:13:49,900 --> 00:13:51,200
Hell yeah.
262
00:13:51,367 --> 00:13:54,443
Nobody's been in here since
these timbers were put in.
263
00:13:54,467 --> 00:13:56,100
So we'll be the first ones back in.
264
00:13:57,266 --> 00:13:58,367
Let's keep digging, man.
265
00:14:00,767 --> 00:14:02,407
Hey, this thing, it definitely goes down.
266
00:14:02,533 --> 00:14:03,533
We got an inclined shaft.
267
00:14:03,567 --> 00:14:05,400
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
268
00:14:05,567 --> 00:14:07,287
It's going right down
into the ground, man.
269
00:14:08,867 --> 00:14:11,467
This opening that we just
discovered sits about a half
270
00:14:11,634 --> 00:14:13,643
mile away from the keyhole chamber.
271
00:14:13,667 --> 00:14:17,834
And the keyhole chamber
descends about 200 feet underground.
272
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,266
So the fact that this opening goes down,
273
00:14:20,433 --> 00:14:21,767
it's a fantastic sign.
274
00:14:21,934 --> 00:14:24,767
This opening can get us
into the keyhole chamber.
275
00:14:24,934 --> 00:14:25,934
Let's do this.
276
00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:28,740
Right now, there's no timber...
277
00:14:29,834 --> 00:14:31,509
To, like, hold it up.
What does that mean?
278
00:14:31,533 --> 00:14:33,343
I don't know how stable that is.
279
00:14:33,367 --> 00:14:35,543
You know, it could come down
on our head, for all we know.
280
00:14:35,567 --> 00:14:37,643
Just be looking around
you 360 when you're in there.
281
00:14:37,667 --> 00:14:38,743
Yeah.
282
00:14:38,767 --> 00:14:40,867
As a miner, I'm seeing rockfall.
283
00:14:41,967 --> 00:14:43,343
I'm seeing this place is dangerous.
284
00:14:43,367 --> 00:14:45,934
And we're gonna have to
be extra careful going forward.
285
00:14:47,500 --> 00:14:49,667
- All right, I'll be one, you two.
- Ok.
286
00:14:49,834 --> 00:14:51,142
Joel, you're three.
287
00:14:51,166 --> 00:14:53,066
Ride or die, baby. Here we go.
288
00:14:53,233 --> 00:14:54,467
- Yeah.
- Be careful.
289
00:14:54,634 --> 00:14:56,000
- We got to watch our heads.
- Ok.
290
00:14:58,467 --> 00:15:00,067
- Watch your head, brother.
- All right.
291
00:15:02,467 --> 00:15:06,076
Holy man, this goes
way back in here, bro.
292
00:15:06,100 --> 00:15:08,867
- How stable does it look?
- It looks ok.
293
00:15:09,033 --> 00:15:10,667
There's some shiny in here.
294
00:15:11,934 --> 00:15:13,300
- I'm coming, Chad.
- Come on in.
295
00:15:15,767 --> 00:15:17,867
There you go. Easy does it.
296
00:15:19,500 --> 00:15:20,600
Nice.
297
00:15:26,033 --> 00:15:28,743
Yeah. My god.
298
00:15:28,767 --> 00:15:29,867
Look at this.
299
00:15:31,567 --> 00:15:32,543
This thing continues.
300
00:15:32,567 --> 00:15:34,127
And it goes further back. Look at that.
301
00:15:35,867 --> 00:15:37,900
Look, it goes up here, too.
302
00:15:40,367 --> 00:15:42,166
- Don't touch the ceiling, Chad.
- Ok.
303
00:15:43,266 --> 00:15:44,367
There.
304
00:15:45,667 --> 00:15:47,367
All right. Hey, guys,
305
00:15:48,266 --> 00:15:50,643
look, this is a big structure.
306
00:15:50,667 --> 00:15:52,176
I'm already seeing this thing's unstable.
307
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,843
We've got rock just
hanging here, lots of cracks.
308
00:15:54,867 --> 00:15:56,967
So there's lots of unstable areas.
309
00:15:57,133 --> 00:15:58,400
Don't touch any of that.
310
00:15:58,567 --> 00:16:02,543
You see any dust in the
air, speak up, say something,
311
00:16:02,567 --> 00:16:04,142
because that's usually
what you see right before
312
00:16:04,166 --> 00:16:05,443
a major collapse.
313
00:16:05,467 --> 00:16:07,667
And if we see that, we got
to get the hell out of here.
314
00:16:09,266 --> 00:16:10,467
- Here we go.
- Yeah.
315
00:16:15,166 --> 00:16:16,176
Look at that in here.
316
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,867
It's like they went in
that way for a little bit.
317
00:16:22,867 --> 00:16:24,843
I say we keep going, see how far it goes.
318
00:16:24,867 --> 00:16:26,734
Yeah, looks like it heads in this direction.
319
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:28,734
Here we go.
320
00:16:33,667 --> 00:16:35,900
What's this, Chad? What the?
321
00:16:38,367 --> 00:16:40,467
- Yeah.
- Look at this.
322
00:16:41,367 --> 00:16:42,867
Holy, it does.
323
00:16:43,967 --> 00:16:45,066
Look at this.
324
00:16:46,667 --> 00:16:49,443
These underground
workings are old, ancient.
325
00:16:49,467 --> 00:16:52,066
I mean, hundreds of years old, Chad.
326
00:16:52,233 --> 00:16:53,467
The older, the better.
327
00:16:53,867 --> 00:16:55,867
Look at this right here.
Here's your contact zone.
328
00:16:55,934 --> 00:16:57,976
This is the mineralization
that they were following in.
329
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,543
- Right.
- They were definitely following mineral.
330
00:16:59,567 --> 00:17:02,033
That's where your gold,
copper, silver, it's all going
331
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:03,643
- to be right in there.
- I'll be damned.
332
00:17:03,667 --> 00:17:04,667
It keeps on going.
333
00:17:04,834 --> 00:17:06,066
Look at this.
334
00:17:06,233 --> 00:17:07,443
- Look at this.
- My god.
335
00:17:07,467 --> 00:17:08,567
Look at this.
336
00:17:21,467 --> 00:17:24,300
I'm following this lidar scan here,
337
00:17:24,467 --> 00:17:25,787
which runs right along the fault.
338
00:17:27,266 --> 00:17:31,000
And what I'm looking for
is an entrance to that mine.
339
00:17:31,166 --> 00:17:33,286
I think it might be right
over this Ridge right here.
340
00:17:34,100 --> 00:17:38,076
Just north of the energy zone,
Eric is investigating the final
341
00:17:38,100 --> 00:17:41,142
opening identified from his lidar scan.
342
00:17:41,166 --> 00:17:44,100
It is the closest opening
to the keyhole chamber,
343
00:17:44,266 --> 00:17:46,300
just a third of a mile away.
344
00:17:47,166 --> 00:17:48,767
The nice thing about lidar is
345
00:17:49,834 --> 00:17:51,000
using technology
346
00:17:51,967 --> 00:17:55,400
instead of your legs to find something.
347
00:17:55,567 --> 00:17:57,142
I mean...
348
00:17:57,166 --> 00:17:59,543
If we were to scan this whole
area by foot, it would probably
349
00:17:59,567 --> 00:18:01,266
take us months, if not years.
350
00:18:05,367 --> 00:18:07,100
Man, here it is.
351
00:18:08,367 --> 00:18:10,367
Damn, look at this.
352
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,166
It looks like this could
have been a natural entrance
353
00:18:15,333 --> 00:18:18,200
at one point, a natural
cave, but I can definitely see
354
00:18:18,367 --> 00:18:20,407
somebody worked this,
somebody pulled material out.
355
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,834
I want to go see what's in there, man.
356
00:18:30,834 --> 00:18:31,934
Wow.
357
00:18:34,300 --> 00:18:35,400
Well, it's going in.
358
00:18:39,367 --> 00:18:42,166
There is a nice
mineralization right in there.
359
00:18:42,333 --> 00:18:43,500
There's the vein.
360
00:18:44,367 --> 00:18:49,266
This could have originally
been a natural cave system,
361
00:18:49,433 --> 00:18:53,500
but it appears evident
that it was obviously mined.
362
00:18:53,667 --> 00:18:56,600
And so you can see sort
of a geometric pattern of
363
00:18:56,767 --> 00:18:59,367
the entrance itself. It
looks a little bit dicey.
364
00:18:59,533 --> 00:19:00,967
Right here, it looks ok.
365
00:19:01,133 --> 00:19:02,734
I'm not seeing any real loose stuff.
366
00:19:04,300 --> 00:19:06,667
I need to get down and
see how deep this goes.
367
00:19:14,266 --> 00:19:15,533
This doesn't look good.
368
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,166
We've got a cave-in here.
369
00:19:20,767 --> 00:19:23,200
I see some very large boulders
370
00:19:23,367 --> 00:19:26,100
that have collapsed
from the roof of this mine.
371
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,734
I can definitely see workings
that mankind opened this up
372
00:19:30,900 --> 00:19:31,900
and pulled out material.
373
00:19:33,367 --> 00:19:34,500
So this could be huge, man.
374
00:19:34,667 --> 00:19:38,033
This could get us down
into that keyhole chamber.
375
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,867
But huge boulders are clogging
up the whole system here.
376
00:19:47,767 --> 00:19:49,166
This thing is huge, man.
377
00:19:50,367 --> 00:19:51,900
Hell yeah.
378
00:19:54,367 --> 00:19:55,647
Look, it branches off over here.
379
00:19:57,367 --> 00:19:58,834
Holy, Josh, look at this.
380
00:20:01,300 --> 00:20:03,500
Look how far that goes back there.
381
00:20:05,934 --> 00:20:09,242
Three quarters of a mile
away from the keyhole chamber,
382
00:20:09,266 --> 00:20:12,834
Chad and Josh have
descended an estimated 50 feet
383
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,400
underground into the
northernmost cave opening.
384
00:20:16,567 --> 00:20:20,100
The path continues to lead
them downward at a steep pitch.
385
00:20:23,266 --> 00:20:24,400
This keeps going down.
386
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,734
- We've got bad rock right here.
- Yeah.
387
00:20:28,900 --> 00:20:30,667
Huge rock, too, man.
388
00:20:33,100 --> 00:20:34,500
There's another drift this way too.
389
00:20:35,567 --> 00:20:39,242
I mean, this is, by far, the
largest mine we've been in.
390
00:20:39,266 --> 00:20:42,142
I agree. It keeps going on.
391
00:20:42,166 --> 00:20:44,166
- It is extensive.
- It is.
392
00:20:45,066 --> 00:20:46,200
The keyhole chamber is about
393
00:20:46,367 --> 00:20:48,076
a quarter mile southeast of here.
394
00:20:48,100 --> 00:20:49,667
And by my reckoning,
395
00:20:49,834 --> 00:20:52,667
about 700 feet descending
down from this point.
396
00:20:53,734 --> 00:20:55,643
So each turn we come to,
we're gonna try and choose
397
00:20:55,667 --> 00:20:57,667
the one that leads us
towards the keyhole chamber.
398
00:20:59,166 --> 00:21:01,033
Because it's an
absolute maze down here.
399
00:21:03,934 --> 00:21:05,367
Holy.
400
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:12,743
This goes back pretty far, man.
401
00:21:12,767 --> 00:21:14,087
Yeah, I'm just jotting this down.
402
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:15,142
We don't want to get lost in here.
403
00:21:15,166 --> 00:21:16,300
I'm noting down every turn,
404
00:21:16,467 --> 00:21:18,266
you know, how far
we've traveled, you know,
405
00:21:18,433 --> 00:21:19,843
- that sort of thing, so.
- Josh, shh.
406
00:21:19,867 --> 00:21:21,166
- What?
- Shh.
407
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:37,300
There's someone in here.
408
00:21:58,166 --> 00:21:59,667
2 this goes back pretty far, man.
409
00:21:59,834 --> 00:22:01,142
Yeah, I'm just jotting this down.
410
00:22:01,166 --> 00:22:02,242
We don't want to get lost in here.
411
00:22:02,266 --> 00:22:03,376
I'm noting down every turn, you know,
412
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,242
how far we've traveled,
you know, that sort of thing.
413
00:22:06,266 --> 00:22:07,567
- Josh, shh... shh.
- What?
414
00:22:23,166 --> 00:22:24,266
There's someone in here.
415
00:22:27,967 --> 00:22:29,967
I keep hearing footsteps in that direction.
416
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,100
You didn't hear that?
417
00:22:34,166 --> 00:22:35,266
No.
418
00:22:37,667 --> 00:22:39,600
What the?
419
00:22:39,767 --> 00:22:41,743
These mines echo.
There's all kinds of noises.
420
00:22:41,767 --> 00:22:43,000
Rock moves.
421
00:22:43,166 --> 00:22:44,743
I'm telling you, man,
your mind can play tricks
422
00:22:44,767 --> 00:22:47,000
on you underground. It absolutely can.
423
00:22:47,166 --> 00:22:49,142
I mean, I'm not saying you didn't hear it.
424
00:22:49,166 --> 00:22:50,543
You did hear it.
425
00:22:50,567 --> 00:22:52,934
I'm just saying that,
like, this is what happens.
426
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,834
Mines are known for auditory pareidolia,
427
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,600
which old miners called "water voices."
428
00:23:02,066 --> 00:23:05,500
The phenomenon occurs as
the brain attempts to decipher
429
00:23:05,667 --> 00:23:08,076
distorted underground sounds.
430
00:23:08,100 --> 00:23:12,200
Noises like flowing water
or footsteps can echo off
431
00:23:12,367 --> 00:23:16,743
the walls, intensifying
these auditory illusions.
432
00:23:16,767 --> 00:23:19,967
You can make a noise,
and then you hear a noise,
433
00:23:20,133 --> 00:23:23,967
so it's actually your own
sound coming back at you.
434
00:23:24,133 --> 00:23:26,100
Acoustics underground
can really play tricks on
435
00:23:26,266 --> 00:23:27,543
- your mind.
- All right, you ready?
436
00:23:27,567 --> 00:23:29,100
- Yep.
- All right, gotcha.
437
00:23:30,667 --> 00:23:33,300
But I really can't discount
what Chad is saying.
438
00:23:33,467 --> 00:23:35,667
I mean, there could
be animals down here.
439
00:23:35,834 --> 00:23:36,843
I really don't know.
440
00:23:36,867 --> 00:23:38,787
But we've got to be very
careful moving forward.
441
00:23:40,367 --> 00:23:44,967
All right. This thing is going deep, fast.
442
00:23:45,133 --> 00:23:46,567
- Yeah.
- We're on an incline.
443
00:23:46,734 --> 00:23:48,567
- It's like an inclined shaft.
- Ok.
444
00:23:59,367 --> 00:24:01,200
My god. This is all collapsed here.
445
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,367
This is unstable all through this area.
446
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:06,867
And we're still descending.
447
00:24:07,734 --> 00:24:10,667
I mean, we're pushing 150 feet deep.
448
00:24:10,834 --> 00:24:12,076
You see this Boulder right here?
449
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:13,142
God almighty, look at that thing.
450
00:24:13,166 --> 00:24:15,266
- That was over there.
- Holy.
451
00:24:15,433 --> 00:24:16,967
So that whole thing collapsed.
452
00:24:17,133 --> 00:24:18,133
Sure did.
453
00:24:22,934 --> 00:24:25,543
This is a major intersection in the mine.
454
00:24:25,567 --> 00:24:28,834
We've got a passage this
way where they dug back up
455
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,000
towards the surface.
456
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,266
They drifted off this way at this level.
457
00:24:34,266 --> 00:24:37,467
They went deeper right
here, and the main trunk
458
00:24:38,367 --> 00:24:39,967
goes this direction.
459
00:24:40,133 --> 00:24:42,897
So we've got four possible
ways to go from here.
460
00:24:42,921 --> 00:24:43,200
Ok.
461
00:24:43,367 --> 00:24:45,743
150 yards into the cave system,
462
00:24:45,767 --> 00:24:48,667
and roughly 100 feet underground,
463
00:24:48,834 --> 00:24:52,867
Chad and Josh have hit a
four-way fork in the tunnel.
464
00:24:54,834 --> 00:24:56,910
Every time there's a turn,
I'm just marking the bearing
465
00:24:56,934 --> 00:24:58,076
with my compass, and then just...
466
00:24:58,100 --> 00:25:01,066
I'm tracking paces every single time,
467
00:25:01,233 --> 00:25:03,567
and I'm drawing out
a little bit of a map too.
468
00:25:03,734 --> 00:25:04,934
This is the entrance.
469
00:25:05,100 --> 00:25:06,443
We've come all the way around this way.
470
00:25:06,467 --> 00:25:09,000
We hit this drift. We put that drift here.
471
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,166
And we're back here
at this corner right now.
472
00:25:12,333 --> 00:25:13,309
I think I'm gonna foll
473
00:25:13,333 --> 00:25:15,173
let's keep following
this main trunk this way.
474
00:25:15,233 --> 00:25:16,867
- All right.
- Let's keep moving.
475
00:25:24,667 --> 00:25:26,767
Chad, this splits into two
different passages here.
476
00:25:28,834 --> 00:25:30,000
- Did it really?
- Yeah.
477
00:25:30,166 --> 00:25:31,209
I say this is the way to go.
478
00:25:31,233 --> 00:25:33,467
- This looks pretty stable in here.
- Yeah.
479
00:25:33,634 --> 00:25:34,934
But it's smaller.
480
00:25:36,567 --> 00:25:39,600
I mean, from where we entered,
we got to go about a quarter of
481
00:25:39,767 --> 00:25:43,367
a mile and then down about
300 foot in elevation to get back
482
00:25:43,533 --> 00:25:45,467
to the keyhole chamber, at least.
483
00:25:45,634 --> 00:25:47,000
- Right.
- All right, you ready?
484
00:25:47,166 --> 00:25:48,166
Yep.
485
00:25:54,100 --> 00:25:56,443
I keep hitting my head on this.
486
00:25:56,467 --> 00:25:59,600
It's these bastards were
short back then, or something?
487
00:25:59,767 --> 00:26:01,687
Yeah, they were smaller
people, that's for sure.
488
00:26:03,967 --> 00:26:05,700
Whoa, stop, Chad.
489
00:26:08,166 --> 00:26:10,200
- That's a pit right there.
- Damn right.
490
00:26:10,367 --> 00:26:11,887
You can't even see the bottom of that.
491
00:26:12,767 --> 00:26:13,867
What do you think that is?
492
00:26:15,100 --> 00:26:16,610
Well, in a mine, you call that a winze,
493
00:26:16,634 --> 00:26:18,767
and that just accesses a
different level of the mine.
494
00:26:19,767 --> 00:26:22,266
But I'm not sure why that's there.
495
00:26:24,066 --> 00:26:26,000
Damn, that would have been over?
496
00:26:26,166 --> 00:26:27,166
My god.
497
00:26:28,834 --> 00:26:30,242
I mean, this is just like that mineshaft
498
00:26:30,266 --> 00:26:31,443
that my dad saw in Mexico.
499
00:26:31,467 --> 00:26:34,033
It went over 100 foot straight down.
500
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,242
Damn, that's a long ways down.
501
00:26:36,266 --> 00:26:37,467
Several months ago,
502
00:26:37,634 --> 00:26:40,166
Duane and James visited Mexico City,
503
00:26:40,333 --> 00:26:43,934
where the ancient capital
of the aztecs once stood.
504
00:26:44,100 --> 00:26:47,843
There, they observed a
vertical shaft that was used as
505
00:26:47,867 --> 00:26:49,567
a burial chamber.
506
00:26:49,734 --> 00:26:52,200
They found at the bottom
the remains of a female.
507
00:26:52,367 --> 00:26:53,527
- Down at the bottom?
- Yeah.
508
00:26:54,734 --> 00:26:56,743
It's a similar design as that.
509
00:26:56,767 --> 00:26:58,343
So it's like, could be the same people.
510
00:26:58,367 --> 00:26:59,700
Could be the aztecs here.
511
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,743
I mean, it certainly seems
to mimic that, doesn't it?
512
00:27:02,767 --> 00:27:03,867
Yeah.
513
00:27:04,767 --> 00:27:07,743
And also, while
scanning the energy zone,
514
00:27:07,767 --> 00:27:08,834
the team discovered
515
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,567
a strikingly similar vertical shaft.
516
00:27:11,734 --> 00:27:14,266
There is a void right here.
517
00:27:14,433 --> 00:27:15,467
Look at that.
518
00:27:16,967 --> 00:27:18,767
We have to find out what's down here.
519
00:27:18,934 --> 00:27:19,934
Hell yeah.
520
00:27:21,367 --> 00:27:22,467
Hey, we got a rope?
521
00:27:24,100 --> 00:27:25,500
Thank you, yes.
522
00:27:26,100 --> 00:27:28,567
Let's tie that to the camera
and drop a line down there.
523
00:27:28,734 --> 00:27:29,967
Let's see how deep this goes.
524
00:27:31,100 --> 00:27:33,843
Nothing like unraveling
rope, 600 feet underground?
525
00:27:33,867 --> 00:27:34,967
Exactly.
526
00:27:35,834 --> 00:27:38,033
Here we go. Let's do this.
527
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,643
Do you feel any air coming up at all?
528
00:27:46,667 --> 00:27:48,066
I can feel air coming out of here.
529
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,467
Or what do you think it could be?
530
00:27:50,634 --> 00:27:51,643
Yeah, I mean, that means that
531
00:27:51,667 --> 00:27:53,400
these are access to other areas.
532
00:27:53,567 --> 00:27:56,934
So there's air getting pumped
through here somehow.
533
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,066
Damn, this rope's still going, man.
534
00:28:02,667 --> 00:28:04,142
- You can feel it.
- How long is this rope?
535
00:28:04,166 --> 00:28:06,734
- Like 250 feet?
- 250 isn't it?
536
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,080
I wouldn't have guessed
it'd be that deep, man.
537
00:28:12,066 --> 00:28:14,600
You know how much material
they would have had to remove?
538
00:28:14,767 --> 00:28:16,047
How did they get it out of here?
539
00:28:16,867 --> 00:28:18,066
This is still going, man.
540
00:28:18,233 --> 00:28:19,233
It's still going.
541
00:28:23,500 --> 00:28:24,976
It's still going. We're
gonna need more rope
542
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,360
to even get to the bottom of this.
543
00:28:33,066 --> 00:28:35,066
We're out of rope.
544
00:28:35,233 --> 00:28:36,610
- That's the end of it.
- It's still going down?
545
00:28:36,634 --> 00:28:37,914
Still hasn't touched the bottom.
546
00:28:39,166 --> 00:28:40,142
I mean, if you're still going,
547
00:28:40,166 --> 00:28:41,443
that's a straight vertical hole.
548
00:28:41,467 --> 00:28:43,767
Then this is a massive
underground structure.
549
00:28:43,934 --> 00:28:44,934
- Right.
- This is huge.
550
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,142
The shaft goes down 200 vertical feet.
551
00:28:48,166 --> 00:28:51,242
And I don't know what it is,
but that's deep enough to get
552
00:28:51,266 --> 00:28:53,467
us down into the passage and down into
553
00:28:53,634 --> 00:28:54,867
the keyhole chamber.
554
00:28:55,834 --> 00:28:58,834
Let's go get some more rope.
See how far it does go down.
555
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,166
All right. Yeah.
556
00:29:00,333 --> 00:29:02,100
- Get back out of here.
- Ok.
557
00:29:02,266 --> 00:29:05,867
We're gonna have to retrace
our steps, go out, regroup
558
00:29:06,033 --> 00:29:07,643
and bring the right materials back
559
00:29:07,667 --> 00:29:10,033
and explore this thing further.
560
00:29:12,500 --> 00:29:15,033
Ok, we got one more
right to get back out of here.
561
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,033
- Ok.
- Right here it is.
562
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:18,200
Good.
563
00:29:19,033 --> 00:29:20,100
All right.
564
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,080
Yeah, we're inclining up. Here we go.
565
00:29:27,467 --> 00:29:30,300
I don't remember this.
566
00:29:30,467 --> 00:29:31,467
This is a dead end.
567
00:29:33,667 --> 00:29:34,767
This isn't right.
568
00:29:35,667 --> 00:29:37,100
Did we miss our turn?
569
00:29:37,266 --> 00:29:39,242
We didn't miss it, I don't think.
570
00:29:39,266 --> 00:29:40,467
We came in...
571
00:29:40,634 --> 00:29:44,000
We went left, and
then we went left again.
572
00:29:44,166 --> 00:29:46,743
But the first one, there
was, like, four options.
573
00:29:46,767 --> 00:29:49,867
So I don't know if we
would have got out one.
574
00:29:50,033 --> 00:29:52,266
There's four different
ways we could go for...
575
00:29:54,667 --> 00:29:55,967
We went left there.
576
00:29:56,133 --> 00:29:58,834
Then we went further
in and made another left.
577
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,160
Right... another left, right.
578
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:01,643
There should have been a second right,
579
00:30:01,667 --> 00:30:04,400
and I thought this was that
passageway, and it's obviously not.
580
00:30:04,567 --> 00:30:08,367
Hey... I'm not trying to
panic, but are we lost?
581
00:30:17,867 --> 00:30:19,427
2 yeah, we're inclining up. Here we go.
582
00:30:23,734 --> 00:30:25,767
I don't remember this.
583
00:30:26,667 --> 00:30:27,767
This is a dead end.
584
00:30:29,867 --> 00:30:31,867
This isn't right.
585
00:30:32,033 --> 00:30:34,300
- Did we miss our turn?
- We didn't miss it.
586
00:30:34,467 --> 00:30:35,767
I don't think.
587
00:30:36,767 --> 00:30:38,509
There should have been a
second right, and I thought
588
00:30:38,533 --> 00:30:41,467
this was that passageway,
and it's obviously not.
589
00:30:41,634 --> 00:30:45,300
Hey... I'm not trying to
panic, but are we lost?
590
00:30:51,967 --> 00:30:54,767
Well, there's not a mine
that I haven't gotten out of yet.
591
00:30:57,166 --> 00:30:59,309
We need to get back to the
main trunk, and then we need to
592
00:30:59,333 --> 00:31:01,443
reassess, and let's all get back there.
593
00:31:01,467 --> 00:31:04,367
Let's have a conversation
and no panicking.
594
00:31:04,533 --> 00:31:05,933
You panic underground, you're dead.
595
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,166
We just got to figure it out.
596
00:31:10,133 --> 00:31:11,934
Chad, let's head back
to the main trunk, man.
597
00:31:12,100 --> 00:31:13,233
Ok.
598
00:31:14,934 --> 00:31:17,367
If you get lost underground,
you have to stay calm.
599
00:31:18,667 --> 00:31:20,734
It is of the utmost
importance to stay calm.
600
00:31:20,900 --> 00:31:24,367
If you don't, you will not
make it out, and you will die.
601
00:31:26,500 --> 00:31:27,643
The map I drew is right.
602
00:31:27,667 --> 00:31:29,934
The turns that we took
are the turns that we took.
603
00:31:30,100 --> 00:31:31,340
I think we need to go back here
604
00:31:33,033 --> 00:31:35,567
and I'll bet you, I know what happened.
605
00:31:36,567 --> 00:31:37,700
What?
606
00:31:37,867 --> 00:31:41,266
We came in this way, and
there was another that went
607
00:31:41,433 --> 00:31:42,743
this way, wide.
608
00:31:42,767 --> 00:31:45,834
So, when we came back
out, we were supposed to go to
609
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,734
the right, but the left
looked more straight.
610
00:31:48,900 --> 00:31:51,834
So we stayed in the left.
Does that make sense?
611
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,200
So we need to go back.
612
00:31:53,867 --> 00:31:55,443
- Yeah.
- And everybody just stay calm.
613
00:31:55,467 --> 00:31:57,200
We will get out of here. I promise you.
614
00:31:58,367 --> 00:31:59,843
I've been in a lot of underground caves
615
00:31:59,867 --> 00:32:01,967
and mines, both.
616
00:32:02,133 --> 00:32:04,543
And you do kind of get a
little bit of a built-in GPS
617
00:32:04,567 --> 00:32:06,543
in your head of where you're at.
618
00:32:06,567 --> 00:32:08,543
- You guys doing all right?
- We're doing all right.
619
00:32:08,567 --> 00:32:10,142
I'm gonna get you to
the surface... let's go.
620
00:32:10,166 --> 00:32:11,834
Get me out of here and I'll be all right.
621
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:17,033
You've got to really count
your steps, your paces,
622
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,600
stop down, take a look at any
kind of landmarks that you can
623
00:32:19,767 --> 00:32:22,834
underground, remember
it, but also write it down.
624
00:32:24,100 --> 00:32:25,834
- This is the way out of here.
- Good.
625
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,600
- You remember this?
- Yeah, I do now.
626
00:32:28,734 --> 00:32:32,033
Thank god, man. This is the way out.
627
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,200
- I'm ready to get out of here, man.
- Me too.
628
00:32:34,367 --> 00:32:36,687
I didn't know how much longer
we're going to stay in here.
629
00:32:39,066 --> 00:32:40,626
Is everybody together? Are we all here?
630
00:32:40,767 --> 00:32:43,100
- Yep.
- What a perfect place.
631
00:32:47,834 --> 00:32:49,467
Man, we made a big
discovery down there.
632
00:32:49,634 --> 00:32:53,533
It is a maze of tunnels with
a huge, deep vertical shaft.
633
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,343
For right now, we're done for today.
634
00:32:57,367 --> 00:32:59,076
We're gonna come back
tomorrow with all the supplies
635
00:32:59,100 --> 00:33:01,567
that we need and explore
this thing all the way to the end.
636
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,867
Hell yeah.
637
00:33:26,166 --> 00:33:27,266
Copy that.
638
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,834
The next morning, Josh
and Chad head back to
639
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,567
the cave system, a
mile north of the ranch.
640
00:33:35,734 --> 00:33:37,300
- All right, here I come.
- All right.
641
00:33:39,266 --> 00:33:40,667
There you go.
642
00:33:40,834 --> 00:33:44,200
This is the most promising
cave we've found in years.
643
00:33:44,367 --> 00:33:45,847
We have to find out what's down here.
644
00:33:46,467 --> 00:33:49,000
All right, Chad. This
passage is 60 degrees,
645
00:33:49,166 --> 00:33:50,206
this direction right here.
646
00:33:51,066 --> 00:33:53,500
This tunnel descends
deep below the surface.
647
00:33:53,667 --> 00:33:55,734
The shaft goes down 200 vertical feet.
648
00:33:55,900 --> 00:33:58,743
And I don't know what it is,
but that's deep enough to get
649
00:33:58,767 --> 00:34:00,367
us down into the passage.
650
00:34:00,533 --> 00:34:01,893
And down into the keyhole chamber.
651
00:34:02,767 --> 00:34:04,467
Ok, you got the rope.
652
00:34:06,500 --> 00:34:08,166
All right, let's get the camera attached.
653
00:34:12,734 --> 00:34:15,014
We got a lot of rope, right?
Yeah, we should have plenty.
654
00:34:16,367 --> 00:34:18,934
Here's the rope and the camera tied on.
655
00:34:19,100 --> 00:34:20,100
Got it. Ready?
656
00:34:22,166 --> 00:34:23,446
All right, now we're going down.
657
00:34:24,767 --> 00:34:26,567
Yeah, ok. Yeah, I got a good picture.
658
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,600
- You're down like over 100 feet?
- Yeah.
659
00:34:40,734 --> 00:34:42,133
Do you still have picture?
660
00:34:42,300 --> 00:34:43,900
Yeah, I still got image.
661
00:34:46,367 --> 00:34:47,667
Just seeing rock right now.
662
00:34:49,767 --> 00:34:52,166
That's 250 foot down, straight down.
663
00:34:54,367 --> 00:34:56,467
The bedrock seems a
bit different at this depth.
664
00:35:00,767 --> 00:35:03,743
It's still going, and you
can feel the whole weight of
665
00:35:03,767 --> 00:35:04,867
the rope right here.
666
00:35:12,867 --> 00:35:14,187
Yeah, Chad, I'm seeing the floor.
667
00:35:15,767 --> 00:35:16,867
Yep, that's floor.
668
00:35:23,967 --> 00:35:25,300
Holy, what is that?
669
00:35:26,667 --> 00:35:28,067
Chad, there's something down there.
670
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,834
Well, what do you think it could be?
671
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:32,600
I think those are teeth.
672
00:35:35,066 --> 00:35:36,834
Chad, that's a skull.
That's a human skull.
673
00:35:40,667 --> 00:35:41,710
It's right here. Look at it.
674
00:35:41,734 --> 00:35:43,734
You're hanging right
over the top of it right now.
675
00:35:44,834 --> 00:35:48,166
There is somebody buried
at the bottom of this shaft.
676
00:35:54,767 --> 00:35:58,543
2 the aztecs believed that
being buried deeper in the earth
677
00:35:58,567 --> 00:35:59,734
brought them closer
678
00:35:59,900 --> 00:36:02,133
to their spiritual plane of the dead.
679
00:36:03,166 --> 00:36:05,967
In 2013, Mexican archaeologists
680
00:36:06,133 --> 00:36:09,500
uncovered a deep
man-made vertical tunnel
681
00:36:09,667 --> 00:36:11,467
housing what is believed to be
682
00:36:11,634 --> 00:36:15,443
the cremated remains of aztec royalty.
683
00:36:15,467 --> 00:36:18,000
Beside the remains was an offering box
684
00:36:18,166 --> 00:36:21,843
that held gifts for the
gods, including gold,
685
00:36:21,867 --> 00:36:25,000
the bones of an eagle, two small skulls,
686
00:36:25,166 --> 00:36:29,166
and a stone knife that was
used to perform human sacrifices.
687
00:36:39,767 --> 00:36:41,167
2 yeah, Chad, I'm seeing the floor.
688
00:36:42,667 --> 00:36:43,767
Yep, that's floor.
689
00:36:49,567 --> 00:36:50,967
Holy, what is that?
690
00:36:52,266 --> 00:36:53,666
Chad, there's something down there.
691
00:36:54,467 --> 00:36:56,743
Well, what do you think it could be?
692
00:36:56,767 --> 00:36:58,567
Chad, that's a skull.
That's a human skull.
693
00:37:02,867 --> 00:37:04,900
Why the hell is there a skull down there?
694
00:37:07,367 --> 00:37:10,543
I mean, that's got aztec written all over it.
695
00:37:10,567 --> 00:37:13,467
And the aztec we're known to
build burial chambers that look
696
00:37:13,634 --> 00:37:14,634
just like this one.
697
00:37:18,867 --> 00:37:21,166
I believe this is a ritual burial.
698
00:37:21,333 --> 00:37:24,333
We need to leave this
alone, not mess with it.
699
00:37:24,500 --> 00:37:26,867
But we have all kinds
more to explore this way.
700
00:37:27,033 --> 00:37:29,266
Pull that camera up. You lead the way.
701
00:37:30,266 --> 00:37:31,467
Hell yeah.
702
00:37:31,634 --> 00:37:33,834
The burial chamber is a blind shaft
703
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,266
without any other connecting tunnels.
704
00:37:36,433 --> 00:37:41,166
And if these are human remains,
they must be left undisturbed.
705
00:37:41,333 --> 00:37:42,242
Let's keep looking, man.
706
00:37:42,266 --> 00:37:43,506
There's no telling what's here.
707
00:37:44,667 --> 00:37:47,242
So Josh and Chad will
head back to explore
708
00:37:47,266 --> 00:37:49,967
the other tunnels,
searching for the pathway
709
00:37:50,133 --> 00:37:51,400
to the keyhole chamber.
710
00:38:05,934 --> 00:38:07,843
This thing is a giant maze under here.
711
00:38:07,867 --> 00:38:10,142
It is... it's opening up a little more here.
712
00:38:10,166 --> 00:38:11,266
Yeah, it is.
713
00:38:12,233 --> 00:38:13,567
My god, this thing keeps going.
714
00:38:17,467 --> 00:38:18,567
Look at this.
715
00:38:20,467 --> 00:38:21,667
It looks like a marking.
716
00:38:23,166 --> 00:38:24,400
What kind of symbol is that?
717
00:38:26,867 --> 00:38:28,507
I mean, it looks like it's just charcoal.
718
00:38:29,667 --> 00:38:31,567
Look at that. Holy.
719
00:38:36,467 --> 00:38:38,387
Yeah, you see there's
some more over there, too?
720
00:38:40,467 --> 00:38:43,400
Yeah, Chad, you're right.
There is something right here.
721
00:38:43,567 --> 00:38:48,266
It looks like there's a v, and
a v, maybe a 6 on its side.
722
00:38:49,166 --> 00:38:50,934
And over here, here's more of it.
723
00:38:51,100 --> 00:38:53,567
This is, like, a half circle
with a slash through it.
724
00:38:59,867 --> 00:39:02,834
Chad, I think these
are mormon symbols.
725
00:39:05,166 --> 00:39:06,333
Holy.
726
00:39:07,166 --> 00:39:11,166
In 1847, under the
leadership of brigham young,
727
00:39:11,333 --> 00:39:15,367
mormon pioneers developed
their own writing system known
728
00:39:15,533 --> 00:39:17,967
as the deseret alphabet.
729
00:39:18,133 --> 00:39:21,142
We've just made a major
discovery on the ranch.
730
00:39:21,166 --> 00:39:24,743
If this is mormon, early
mormon from the 1850s,
731
00:39:24,767 --> 00:39:27,567
we're talking right back
to Thomas rhodes himself.
732
00:39:29,233 --> 00:39:32,543
Thomas rhodes was a
minor and founding member of
733
00:39:32,567 --> 00:39:34,066
the mormon church.
734
00:39:34,233 --> 00:39:38,242
According to Utah legend, a
descendant of the aztecs gave
735
00:39:38,266 --> 00:39:42,867
rhodes access to the location
of a hidden gold mine deep in
736
00:39:43,033 --> 00:39:44,600
the uinta basin.
737
00:39:44,767 --> 00:39:46,743
Thomas is said to
have used the treasure
738
00:39:46,767 --> 00:39:50,634
to finance the establishment
of the early mormon church.
739
00:39:53,100 --> 00:39:56,133
If the mormons were in this
mine when they first got here,
740
00:39:56,300 --> 00:39:57,443
this was an important place.
741
00:39:57,467 --> 00:39:59,734
And these symbols have
been sitting here possibly since
742
00:39:59,900 --> 00:40:02,233
the mid 1800s. This is huge.
743
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:03,640
Nobody else has been down here.
744
00:40:05,333 --> 00:40:08,367
And if we confirm that this
is from the early mormon era,
745
00:40:09,333 --> 00:40:11,934
this is one of the greatest
finds that we've ever found
746
00:40:12,100 --> 00:40:13,533
on the ranch.
747
00:40:14,867 --> 00:40:18,567
If these are mormon symbols
down here, I mean, that's huge.
748
00:40:18,734 --> 00:40:19,867
That's absolutely amazing.
749
00:40:21,467 --> 00:40:23,066
This is a game changer.
750
00:40:23,233 --> 00:40:26,643
We spent 17 years looking
for gold on this ranch.
751
00:40:26,667 --> 00:40:29,567
This discovery could be
the biggest we've ever had.
752
00:40:31,500 --> 00:40:33,133
Holy.
753
00:40:33,300 --> 00:40:35,567
This year, we had so
many breakthroughs.
754
00:40:35,734 --> 00:40:37,767
That looks exactly like a turtle.
755
00:40:37,934 --> 00:40:40,934
The ranch is kind of like a
puzzle with a million pieces.
756
00:40:41,100 --> 00:40:43,000
Is this not a bear guarding the cave?
757
00:40:44,066 --> 00:40:46,000
It's like the clues start lining up.
758
00:40:47,367 --> 00:40:49,643
Look at that. Look at that.
759
00:40:49,667 --> 00:40:52,100
To where eventually you
can see this whole picture
760
00:40:52,266 --> 00:40:53,333
of what's going on.
761
00:40:53,500 --> 00:40:54,409
This is another entrance, right here.
762
00:40:54,433 --> 00:40:56,133
This is another entrance, brother.
763
00:40:56,300 --> 00:40:59,066
Every time we got close,
something fought against us.
764
00:40:59,233 --> 00:41:00,567
That's come up a lot.
765
00:41:01,667 --> 00:41:02,843
What the!
766
00:41:02,867 --> 00:41:04,667
Shut it, shut it, shut it!
767
00:41:04,834 --> 00:41:07,033
And when my dad got
sick, it was a big blow.
768
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,500
Let's get you out of the machine.
769
00:41:09,667 --> 00:41:11,834
But we persevered and pushed through.
770
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:13,000
It's an inclined shaft.
771
00:41:14,166 --> 00:41:15,400
This is a door.
772
00:41:16,266 --> 00:41:19,333
And that's all led us to
the biggest discovery yet.
773
00:41:19,500 --> 00:41:21,333
We are close to finding that gold.
774
00:41:21,500 --> 00:41:22,743
I mean, this is the
closest we've ever been
775
00:41:22,767 --> 00:41:24,000
to aztec treasure right here.
776
00:41:24,867 --> 00:41:26,000
Yeah!
