Eighth Wonders of the World? … stunning temples secretly carved out below ground by ‘paranormal’ eccentric
When I see information like this …. I think of the technology and funds it would have taken to develop such astonishing underground facilities …
Then I consider these underground facilities are actually an individual structure, or some being a part of an even more astonishing whole of some sort of ancient celestial domain or craft …
And that reports they put to the public as how their fundings of such a massive undertaking to place … were just cover stories mixed in with bits and pieces of the truth ..
And these top buildings are just the structures built, as the proclaimed builders, funders and or finders, tunneled down to the underground facility they already knew was there …
And just maybe … some of those who occupy them were not the original heirs of these ancient structures … and the true heirs having come in to reclaim their property, could explain such their abrupt take over ….
I don’t think the true returning heirs would have much patience with the “Possession being 9 tenth of the law” …
Eighth wonder of the world? The stunning temples secretly carved out below ground by ‘paranormal’ eccentric
HERE by HAZEL COURTENEY
Nestling in the foothills of the Alps in northern Italy, 30 miles from the ancient city of Turin, lies the valley of Valchiusella. Peppered with medieval villages, the hillside scenery is certainly picturesque.
But it is deep underground, buried into the ancient rock, that the region’s greatest wonders are concealed.
Hall of the Earth: An amazing room built on the ‘supernatural’ visions of its creator
Here, 100ft down and hidden from public view, lies an astonishing secret – one that has drawn comparisons with the fabled city of Atlantis and has been dubbed ‘the Eighth Wonder of the World’ by the Italian government.
Few have been granted permission to see these marvels.
Indeed, the Italian government was not even aware of their existence until a few years ago.
House of secrets: Below this house is the Damanhurian temple which is one of the largest temple complexes in the world
But it was only as he began a successful career as an insurance broker that he began to search for his perfect site.
In 1977, he selected a remote hillside where he felt the hard rock would sustain the structures he had in mind.
A house was built on the hillside and Falco moved in with several friends who shared his vision. Using hammers and picks, they began their dig to create the temples of Damanhur – named after the ancient subterranean Egyptian temple meaning City of Light – in August 1978.
As no planning permission had been granted, they decided to share their scheme only with like-minded people.
Volunteers, who flocked from around the world, worked in four-hour shifts for the next 16 years with no formal plans other than Falco’s sketches and visions, funding their scheme by setting up small businesses to serve the local community.
By 1991, several of the nine chambers were almost complete with stunning murals, mosaics, statues, secret doors and stained glass windows. But time was running out on the secret.
The first time the police came it was over alleged tax evasion and still the temples lay undiscovered. But a year later the police swooped on the community demanding: “Show us these temples or we will dynamite the entire hillside.”
Falco and his colleagues duly complied and opened the secret door to reveal what lay beneath.
Three policemen and the public prosecutor hesitantly entered, but as they stooped down to enter the first temple – named the Hall of the Earth – their jaws dropped.
Inside was a circular chamber measuring 8m in diameter.

A central sculpted column, depicting a three dimensional man and woman, supported a ceiling of intricately painted glass.
The astonished group walked on to find sculpted columns covered with gold leaf, more than 8m high.
Stunned by what they had found, the authorities decided to seize the temples on behalf of the government.
“By the time they had seen all of the chambers, we were told to continue with the artwork, but to cease further building, as we had not been granted planning permission,” says Esperide Ananas, who has written a new book called Damanhur, Temples Of Humankind Full stories HERE:
