26 Apr 12 - 06:49 PM (#3343747) Subject: RE: BS: a remarkable cave in Vietnam From: Stilly River Sage As a former cave guide in Kentucky's Mammoth Cave region, I have to say that this one jumps ahead to a whole new level of big and interesting. And be sure to keep reading - at the end of the photos they link to the cave in Mexico (found via a lead mine) with humongous selenite crystals. They make humans look tiny as they walk around them.

27 Apr 12 - 05:28 PM (#3344154) Subject: RE: BS: a remarkable cave in Vietnam From: Don Firth The prolific and imaginative Edgar Rice Burroughs not only wrote the Tarzan series and the John Carter of Mars series, but a series about "Pellucidar," a great cavernous world inside the earth, populated by humans, but also by all kinds of strange critters and monsters (not all dinosaurs died in the meteor strike 60,000,000 years ago--some moved "indoors" and continued to evolve). Great stuff! Burroughs doing his thing. But it kinda makes you wonder sometimes. . . . Don Firth |
