  • And imagine the odds of finding something like this or bigger somewhere under greenland, north russia, or something like that, where people don't normally even venture out to.

  • those guys should have all gone in there in silence instead of chattering like monkeys . its a place to respect , with clean mind and silent mouth . doh

  • those crystals are soooo beautiful... :)

  • There going to need a lot of torches or a creeper will spawn.

  • this is chuck norris's jewels

  • Superman's gonna kick your ass when he finds out you've been snooping around the Fortress of Solitude

  • Those are not crystals! Its cocaine! LETS PARTY!

    I had to...

  • im guessing the temperatures are in celcius?

  • Its superman's

  • It's too hot? ORLY? Then why is it when you go into other caves, it gets cooler and cooler? This is an entrance to HOLLOW EARTH. Please hear me out. Look for NASA satellite images of the North Pole, and you will see many with a big black circle in the center. Why are they censoring this?

  • supermans wine cellar of solitude

  • It's Supermans house!!!

  • Jor-El, im calling you!

  • know nothing? i know you're obviously a compete faggot. BITCH

  • This is chuck norris's personal sauna

  • whatta pile of wussies I work in a restaurant and work in 100 percent humidity, and it goes over 120 degrees every summer. And we are running around, not slowing taking our time like these guys

  • @ddshadowmage oh shut up

  • @ddshadowmage yes but if you knew anything (which you don't) you'd know that while you're working and running around in all that heat, youre sweating. when you enter the caves, the body CAN NOT sweat which (hello!) causes the body to overheat and (TADA!) die. moron.

  • Absolutely amazing! Didn't realize crystals could be so hot and yet soft. Can't image being in there, would want to chip away at it :)

  • ..superman scene...jor-el are u there?

    

  • que maravilla

  • Hebat!!

  • These would look really pretty standing up in antartica with the aurora shining on them ...

  • thumbs up if u think this place should be declared as the 8th wonder of the world

    and in my opinion the best :)

  • Bruce Lee sneezed and made this cave then chuck norris begged him to live there after bruce banished him from the outside.

  • debeers found a cave like this full of diamonds. they just didnt tell anyone :P

  • wow. this is amazing. looks like Batmans cave. Is this the first time they found something like this?

  • how can people dislike a cave of crystals?

    How exactly is this your proof? Please explain..... Makes no sense at all...

    What they are saying is that this cavern would've been submerged at an even greater depth for 100,000's of years... Far beyond the 6,000 years your bible has given us as a timeline....

    Grow up.

    ..... Your kidding me right? Do even know what Gypsum is? Know what happens when you put it in hot water for extended periods of time? It crystalises... Okay... de-bunk it. You're such a tool. But go ahead... Prove chemistry wrong and give us gods answer... help us all your going to do it anyway.

  • @superflyjeankillbuzz Yup, thats is why they are closing it. We are all gonna meet Jesus there later on so we can watch him fight satan at the entrance to hell. I cant wait to meet Jesus, hes gonna be my super best friend!

    I see what your doing here.... You can't possibly be serious. Damn trolls. Gets old pretty quick. Bet you hang out on Christwire . com all the time.

  • @superflyjeankillbuzz

    You don't even know what 'god' is. Evolution is present in metaphysical reality as well as our own perceivable reality. It is what time is. Change. The path which organisms and all particles within the universe take to become stronger and better.

    /watch?v=OrcWntw9juM

    Maybe it's you who should be taking in other types of evidence. Not saying it's the 'answer' but a very interesting point of view.

    Try looking for answers elsewhere rather than that same ol book.....

  • Comment removed

  • @superflyjeankillbuzz

    "I don't know who God is"

    You said it right there... To you 'God' is a who... An actual thing.

    And when you say I should do more research you really just mean I should read nothing but the bible.. I'm already a student studying geology and biology. I've been practising in Summerian and Bahá'í spiritual rituals. But still you assume....

    Do you even know what metaphysical means? Do you even have the slightest concept of the forces involved in our universe?

  • @superflyjeankillbuzz

    You haven't asked a single question. My 4yr old brother could construct a better argument than you... And in fact has.

    Your just clutching at straws now mate, you and your religion are coming to an end and there is no way you can stop it. I've been asking you questions from the get go...

    The only way you know how to reply is just repeating them back to me. Pretty fucking intellectual... Oh wait... You believe in mystical beings... What did I expect...

  • Comment removed

  • @superflyjeankillbuzz

    Sure, i'll humour you.

    1. No one said the big bang was true, it's a theory on the evidence that is present to us. Which says the universe is expanding in every direction. So conclusion is that it must of had a starting point.

    2. Gravity in a constant throughout the universe. It isn't 'created'. See Einstein

    3. They aren't 'laws'. The term is used incorrectly. They 'evolve' because we make new discoveries. So the theory must change.

    4. Don't know what your asking here......

  • @Devianto well put. props to you

  • Comment removed

  • @superflyjeankillbuzz

    It's not about being smarter than you mate. You look for answers to every single thing in your life in the same fucking book that doesn't explain anything.

    Try ACTUALLY taking on others point of views.. I know it would be a far cry from what your religion is use to.. Prosecuting and at one point in time, burning everyone at the stake who didn't believe the world was round.

    Try ACTUALLY reading texts written by modern scientific communities, it will change your life.

  • Comment removed

  • @Devianto yow dude don't question the bible...... just dont..... you have point the science can explain almost anything but dont question bible

  • @gladez02

    Troll much?

  • Beautiful sight to see, but strange how it takes humans to completely stop the growth and ruin the crystal cave just to explore it. Humans.. hmmm, we just killed a beautiful thing that was a half million years in the making..

  • I know its real, but it looks so unreal at the same time O-o

  • omg they barely look real

  • kids dont cry -.-'

  • @spankMAbooTAY

    You should need to shut up , this is the reason why people like you will fuck up the world

    You just want to make chaos ! YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING < and stop with watchin those porn thingies they make you in an bad mood ;']

  • Just a question.. Why are the crystal caves so hot and humid? The rest of the mine is perfectly normal temperature wise.

  • @spankMAbooTAY

    And how do you know that ?

    You are spying on them ?

  • @spankMAbooTAY

    What haves it to do with the crystals -.-

    Shees just go own with living instead of talking about the new world order

  • how much money would u pay for a piece of those crystals?

  • Chuck Norris lives here.

  • @ReconRaptor Chuck norris musta left the ac off.

  • Their are probably diamonds that big somewhere in the earths crust.

  • i wonder how many forgotten beast are lurking there.......

  • Wow! How so very interesting this is.

  • I loath National Geography stuff.. they exaggerate, bend, distort facts and in some cases (political documentaries) outright lie for a more bombastic effect.

  • i think they should make the hole to the cave and flud it with cold water then mine the water out and it might not be as hot and what is with closing the cave are they crazy they should be trying to get some crystals out...........................­.

  • The government of Mexico is closing the cave and possibly filling it with water! Dr. Penny Boston retrieved bio samples finding over 10 million viruses and bacteria in 1 milliliter sampled, unlike anything ever seen on the planet! Now, why would the government add water since these unknown DNA samples thrive in water and could create human-resistant viruses & bacteria. To me, this is a HIGH-RISK action and should be stopped until further analysis can be obtained! No more plagues please!

  • @krow2446 bummer! This could have been bigger than disneyland!

  • sounds like bull to me. if they openly mined this cave it would drive the price of this crap down so to keep the price as is, they tell everyone they are gonna fill it with water ahaha what a crock

  • @krow2446 you obviously haven't done any research, these caves were originally filled with water and they are paying large amounts of money to pump all the water out. Thats why they want to stop the pumping and let the caves fill back up

  • @krow2446 .......thats just because they want the Crystals to grow and grow and grow and grow and grow

  • @krow2446 they are doing it so that the natural process of the crystals formation ( the one that humans interrupted ) can continue.

  • @krow2446 Proof

  • @krow2446 You're exactly right!...who knows how much Carbon Dixiode the cave could be holding?

  • @krow2446 These organisms have evolved to feed off one another and off the minerals in the rock itself. They have not evolved around humans or other animals and are therefore unlikely to be interested in us as a host.

  • @krow2446  zombies

  • @krow2446

    1. water from the cave is always pumped out, It is naturally full of water, the crystals formed in water

    2. the water that has been pumped out, has formed a lake in the desert, its safe

    3. a similar phenomenom occurs in hydrothermal vents. you need microrganisms to create life.

    4. while i dont agree with closing the cave, i think its important for it to exist in its natural state, and that is in water.

  • @ernestgoesgolfin the pineal gland in the brain is full of water and has crystals in it also. these crystals are regulated ( and activated ) by, tempreture, pressure and magnatism. the pineal gland is responsible for dreaming and waking hallucinations in full colour and with sound at the highest resiloution and quality. nasa scientists underground? with "project looking glass" one such device was experimentally manufactured outside the brain with "negative results"

  • now they have found this occuring inside the planet naturally. this find and the things they will proceed with will yield nothing good. the earth has life... gives life. this planet is as much a part of us as we are to each other, and the universe. most would say that what humans do to eacthother, or war; is mans penultimate downfall, i would argue that the planet earth has suffered all of humanitys actions towards itself, futhermore to her, our life giver. connected

  • i bet they hope they are in minecraft now!!

  • Asian wives waiting # lushfmlk.info #

  • It's like a siren; its draws you in with its beauty then kills you...

  • Im doing a science project. What cause the caves to get so hot?

  • @IlleiseRenee Magma. The deeper you go, the closer you get to it, and the higher the temperature gets.

  • This is a transport hub where my ancestors went to travel through to another dimension about 10,000 years ago we have several more that scientist will never discover until its too late for your species

  • superman is from mexico

  • reminds me of the movie "The Core"...

     We get loads of gypsum where i live but none that big have ever been found!

  • reminds me of the movie "The Core"

  • bullshit add for socialist bill white, thanx for aggravating me when I want to watch some science!!!

  • just amazing!!!

    

  • they should bring a few of those crystals to the united states.

  • @AntaresInScorpius Why the united states?

  • @cyber8000 because i live in the united states and i want to see those crystals.

  • @AntaresInScorpius No way in hell they could cut those crystals -.-

  • I've been there. They've now put glass around the observation deck, so you can't touch the crystals. They don't have the air conditioning unit that they used for this documentary, so the cave is filled with water vapour and is even hotter. I lasted 6-7 minutes...unfortunately this will never be open to the public as the mine will be closed soon and the cave will fill with ground water. It's also in a dangerous part of Mexico.

  • IT IS ALREADY EDITED!!!

  • AWESOME!!

  • @Blingblong20 just watch the part when they explain the bodily functions

  • This is truly amazing

  • wow....amazing.....

    i wish i can touch it with my bare hand....

  • omg 9 people gave this a thumbs down......must be troll people not liking their home become public knowledge

  • Fantastic! I would love to see those giant crystals. I think I'll survive a trip down there. I live in the tropics -- I'm used to broiling temperatures!

  • @Blingblong20 b/c even the most advanced science cannot overcome the power of the crystal cave.

  • OMG. I had a documentary orgasm watching this. I'm a slunker from way back.

  • @Truthexpedition Haha right, well maybe but It has a static temperature of 136 degrees

  • It's the Naica Mountain located in the Chihuahuan Desert

  • Where do they have that lab set up at. It seems it must be close to the crystals

  • I first heard of this in 2007. It was only a small article about four paragraphs long in a travel magazine. I am glad to finally hear more about this. Caves really are some of the most bizarre ecosystems on the planet.

  • simply amazing how they formed so massively. its breath taking really. lololol i love science <3333333333 :D

  • I'd love to go there, but I'd stay within crawling range of the door! I've heard there's some pits in that cave and if you fall on one of those crystals you'd totally die

  • Very cool

  • Why do some people feel it so important to bash other people's beliefs? I believe God created the world, an amazing world- so thus, these crystals are part of it, and an example of how cool this world is. I respect your right to your beliefs- you can state "Wow, this is another example of how random the world is, creatorless as it is" and I won't say a thing. You have a right to atheism or whatever you believe- respect other's as well. To me, this cave has everything to do with God.

  • it's because people are ignorant. I don't really believe in anything. But I do believe that ignorance is the greatest evil of all. If mankind wants to become better, we must transcend ignorance and become open to everything.

  • Beautiful- it's amazong, but now matter how much fantasy we think up, amazing things that do not exist- God's creation keeps coming up with things even more amazing!

  • what has this to do with god ? you can grow yourself some crystals if you wont ....

  • @AffigesEtwas I was just expressing that it's amazing how this world, which God created, keeps surprising us with wonderful things. :)  If you disagree, there's no need to make an argument over it. I'm basically saying: "It's a cool world!"

  • yes i dont agree with your views but i wont start a argument because everyone can belief what he wants.

  • ThyMajesticOne,its not batman,s cave, its crystal cave.(my english is bad)

  • geez superman is real, this cave is actually located beneath batmans cave!!!!!!

  • Yes! SO Santa must be real too!:D

  • ALIEN BASE!

  • This is SOOO AMAZING AND AWESOME to view today. I have wanted to see what this place I heard about before, actually looked like. GREAT VIDEO! Will this become a new National Historical site soon? I hope one day I can arrange a way to go inside for myslef to see it close-up.

  • SO what is the reason NaduaGarbe?

  • How do scientists dare to break into Clark Kent's home ????

  • i've been in the largset cave in the Philippines we stay in the cave for 3 days

  • Wow I didn't know that they can mine crack. Where's that place under Detroit?

  • crystals are living things they were ment to be found so as they can do what ever they need to do perhaps help to save the planet, who knows but please dont pooh pooh it. love and peace george

  • i did not understand a single thing you said stupidstrx

  • its no cave, its supermans house! lex must have put it underground some how

  • lol!

  • @ManiacG143 LMAO

  • how amazing is that , how many more caves r there like this , and what does make it so hot down there ?

  • At the center of the earth: Outer core and an inner core. The core is composed primarily of iron and nickel, liquified due to the intense heat. Cuz the cave is so far underground an closer 2 the core it has the perfect conditions for the crystals to grow so wel, but is extremly dangerous for our bodies. So you see its the Earth's core that causes the boiling temps. I think its supposed 2 be like 4000 degrees or something. I'm not sure cuz its bin 3yrs since i studied it in geog/science.

  • the proximity to the earth's core.

  • Wow! If we have found one like that by accident imagine how many thousands of others there could be.

  • maybe because of the distance underground the further under you go the hotter it will get :)

  • If those are extremely rare, get the biggest one, put on eBay and there you go, millions of dollars or something. But the stupid thing is, once scientists find something as valuable as this or something everyone wants to see for themselves in real life, it's illegal to take and your not allowed to go down there. So basically, finders keepers, but instead miners found it but then scientists stole it. I think it's unfair, some guy found the biggest gold piece in the world and scientists took it.

  • Those crystals would have been absolutely impossible to cut. And if inexperienced people would try to go down there they would die. Scientists aren't villains. If people were allowed to go and "see for themselves" they would completely contaminate/destroy it. Just look at the rest of the planet. I can understand the gold piece, but this is different.

  • Nothing is impossible if it's done right.

  • @rbonillavid Crystals aren't hard to cut....

  • wtf I would never tell anyone one about it f* TV and scientists pffff I would sell this for my own use!

  • they should sell one of those crystals.....on ebay :)

  • Crystals rock (pun intended)!!! This is the majesty of the natural world at its best.

  • so cool

  • cave of the giants, nika.

  • I wanna see the extreme survivor AKA Bear Grylls down there!!!

  • how can these crystal determine if life exists on other planets?? they were formed through volcanic eruption, water & a constant high temperature.

  • because the distance from surface, are you agree? if was life now is under in the other hand the crystals helped to manteain safe, untoched

  • This must be Supermans house! . . Lol

  • I Agree with fluffy duck (Im From NY) they make u interested from the beginning but they really don't find anything its like those bigfoot documentaries that say "we have found Him" haha not really

  • I hate American documentaries. They over react and blow out of proportion everything.

  • Hey FluffyDuck!!! You suck!

  • excuse me i happen to agree to there reactions for finding the possibilities for the
