Two days old now, but didnt see anything on it. Impressive stuff..

German archaeologist Dr Heinrich Kusch said evidence of the tunnels has been found under hundreds of Neolithic settlements all over the continent.

In his book - Secrets Of The Underground Door To An Ancient World - he claims the fact that so many have survived after 12,000 years shows that the original tunnel network must have been enormous.

Combined with older news from 25th of May 2011:

We still have a lot to learn from human history..any thoughts?

Probably a load of Graham Hancock inspired bollocks.

I'll believe it when I hear about it from a more reputable source than the Daily Mail!

It certainly doesn't seem credible as a way of travelling across europe. Even if you want to avoid weather or wars or whatever, there are easier ways than crawling through god knows how many miles of caves.

'In Bavaria in Germany alone we have found 700metres of these underground tunnel networks. In Styria in Austria we have found 350metres,

That is not much to go on...

Graboids, 'nuff said.

Just because many European Stone-Age culture may have dug tunnels, possibly even extensive ones, I think it's quite a leap to say they were connected in any way beyond the fact that the technqiue may have migrated across the continent as the people did.

I doubt greatly that they are physically connected, they are more likely bolt-holes or something along the lines of smugglers warrens, there's no point to creating a 'road-system' down there, it's too much effort for not nearly enough gain.

* -Joshua- wonders if the risks of underground travel would not be greater then above the ground travel.

For one, those tunnels can collapse. They also make for excellent ambush points.

I TOLD you about the secret moleman invasion paths, but NOOOOOOO...

[watsisname]

They weren't trying to make an underground road network, they were just digging around for iron and diamonds.  JEEZ.

[The E]

But that would be too boring for the Daily Mail.....

[JCDNWarrior]

I thought so much, though food for thought. Nonetheless impressive as a collective work of independent mine working and tunnels, to think how much time humans have spent underground.

"We were before the wheel and the fire, this world is ours..."

But seriously though, not surprising that several thousand years of defensive sites, and later mining, would lead to a pretty huge number of tunnels.
