Mysterious tunnel extending from Scotland to Turkey! The expert explained…

Compiled by: Fazilet Şenol / Milliyet.com.tr – Throughout history, people have built various structures for many reasons such as hiding, protecting and sheltering. The most interesting of all these were the tunnels that made you feel like you were traveling to another world. One of the structures that fascinate many people with its existence is the Erdstall Tunnels. However, there is a feature that makes these tunnels different from other ancient tunnels. That is the theory of German archaeologist Heinrich Kusch. According to this theory, the 12 thousand-year-old Erdstall Tunnels extend from Scotland to Turkey.

‘IT CREATES A GIANT UNDERGROUND NETWORK’

German archaeologist Dr. Written by Heinrich Kusch‘Secrets Of The Underground Door To An Ancient World’ In his book, he claimed that there was evidence of tunnels existing under hundreds of neolithic settlements all over the continent. The archaeologist stated that the tunnel network survived for more than 12 thousand years and that the original tunnel network was very large.

“We found 700 meters of these underground tunnel networks in Bavaria, Germany alone, and 350 meters in Styria, Austria.” Archaeologist Kusch said that there are thousands of tunnels all over Europe and that they also extend from the north of Scotland to the Mediterranean.

“It’s not much bigger than most large wormholes. It’s only 25 inches wide. Wide enough for a human to writhe around, nothing more. These are interspersed with nooks, in some places large seating or storage rooms, and miscellaneous rooms. They’re not all connected, but one “When put together, a huge underground network is formed.”

‘IT MAY NOT BE 12 THOUSAND YEARS OLD’

While some experts claim that this network of tunnels was a way to protect from predators, others say the connected tunnels were used like today’s highways. However, according to some researchers, the Erdstall Tunnels located in various parts of Europe are not even 12 thousand years old, these tunnels were built in the Middle Ages. Tunnels located in countries such as Germany, Austria, France, Ireland and Scotland were built between the 10th and 13th centuries.

German archaeologist Dr. As a result of his research on the Erdstall Tunnels, Heinrich Kusch claims that these tunnels extend not only in Germany and Austria, but also from Scotland to Turkey. However, this claim is not supported by strong archaeological evidence or sources. This widely shared claim comes from an article by Matthias Schulz published in Der Spiegel in 2011 and German archaeologist Dr. It is thought to originate from an article citing Kusch’s work.

DOES IT EXTEND TO TURKEY?

So, do these tunnels really extend to Turkey? Stating that the Erdstall Tunnels were built 12 thousand years ago and that there was no settled life or food production at that time, Archaeologist Erman Ertuğrul clarified the theories put forward about the tunnels extending to Turkey as follows:

“The emergence of settlements that had a specific defense system, used writing, and represented the first stages of civilization occurred thousands of years later. At that time, hunter-gatherer people lived in small groups in Europe, and there was no reason for these people to dig tunnels in this way. Finding food , hiding, a ritual related to belief. All these would be very inadequate explanations. Let’s say that they still needed such an underground system for some reason, so how many thousands of people would need to work in an organized manner for this? “There is no way it can happen. The distance between Scotland and Turkey is roughly 4,050 – 5,000 kilometers. This can only be attributed to supernatural phenomena such as aliens, and there is no room for such metaphysical explanations in science.”

‘DATING CANNOT BE DONE, ADVERTISING STUDY’

“German archaeologist Dr. Henry Kusch says they found 700 meters of these underground tunnel networks in Bavaria and 350 meters in Styria, Austria. And he adds that the original tunnel network must have been very large, just based on their state of preservation. Underground structures called Erdstall Tunnels do exist in Central Europe. However, most of these cannot be dated due to the lack of archaeological materials. Therefore, it is possible that they date back to much later times, perhaps even to the Middle Ages. “Nothing can be said without scientific articles.” Erman Ertuğrul said that when a small-scale investigation was made, all foreign sources containing the claim in question belonged to 2011. Therefore, it came to mind that this could be a promotional work for Heinrich Kusch’s book ‘Secrets Of The Underground Door To An Ancient World’. Drawing attention, Archaeologist Ertuğrul concluded his words as follows:

“The history of conspiracy theories, which claim that a very advanced civilization existed in ancient times but was destroyed by a disaster, goes back a long time. Erich von Daniken’s book ‘Chariots of God’ is perhaps one of the most popular examples. It has recently been published on digital platforms.” “Similar claims were brought to the agenda in the documentary ‘Ancient Civilizations’. These claims, which are not based on any scientific explanation, can then spread very quickly on the internet and affect people.”
