What Does Hell Sound Like? Find Out Here…
Mysterious Universe
There’s something about kids, little boys in particular, but girls too; something in their little minds that drives them to dig. Digging holes is a favourite pastime of many kids the world over. Digging in the sand on a sunny beach. Digging in the dirt of a farmer’s field. Digging in the playground at the park, likely with their parent or caregiver asking them not to the whole time.
Why do we dig? I’m sure some superstar psychologist somewhere has the answer, and it probably relates to some obscure survivalist feature of our evolution. But whether it’s a throwback to our prehistoric behaviour or some weird advent of modern culture, it can hardly be denied that we like to dig.
I once dug a hole so deep I could sit in it and not be seen from the surface. I was industrious as a kid. Of course, my memory of that incident may have exaggerated the size of the hole, which in reality was probably only a few inches deep, but to me, at the time, I was halfway to China. And I’m certain there are many people who have similar stories.
In the vein of digging, have you ever wondered how deep mankind has ever dug?
The easy, official answer is 12,345 meters (40,503 feet), or 12.345 kilometers (7.67 miles). Let’s put that into perspective.
