Description
A hole in southern China is 2,170 feet deep and just as wide — and about 210 million cubic feet of rock has vanished from it without leaving a pile behind. Now find seven more like it, on four continents, in rock that has nothing in common.
A documentary investigation into eight natural shafts that no one dug: we compare the evidence side by side, run the calculations, and test each standard geological explanation against the very rock it is supposed to explain.
In this video:
• A forest at the bottom of a pit deeper than the Empire State Building is tall — and the stream that supposedly emptied it
• The "Well of Hell" in Yemen: a desert shaft that gets wider the deeper you go
• Cousteau's 1971 dive into a circle so clean it looks drawn with a compass
• A Siberian crater that keeps rebuilding itself — and the three suspects that were sent home
• Two shafts on a Venezuelan mountaintop, cut through rock that water can barely touch
• A Namibian lake that swallowed an army's cannons, where sonar never found the floor
• Holes opening in the Arctic right now — and why their explanation covers only one of eight
📍 Locations: Chongqing (China) · Al-Mahra (Yemen) · Lighthouse Reef (Belize) · Irkutsk region (Siberia) · Bolívar state (Venezuela) · Otjikoto near Tsumeb (Namibia) · Yamal Peninsula (Arctic Russia)
