In 1719 in Falu Koppargruva (copper mine) in Sweden, a dead man was found over 150 meters down into the mine. He was not recognized by any of the miners or the foremen, and the rumor soon spread in Mora. One woman, a Margareta Olsdotter, got a look at the dead man and cried out "That's my Mats!". Mats was bethoed to Margareta Olsdotter in the past, but had gone missing in the mine 42 years earlier and wasn't found until now. The remarkable thing is that he was so well preserved that you'd think that he had just tied a few days ago. The copper sulfate in the mine had preserved his body in a remarkable condition, he still looked young and handsome, while his was-to-be wife had aged. He was put on display for many years until he finally was put to rest in the local church. The story of Fet-Mats can be found online, but probably only in Swedish. Thought I would share this here, some might find it interesting.

I must admit, this was one of the best abandon mineshaft videos I've ever seen. The suspense of going down each ladder and wondering if you were going to make it to the bottom was breathtaking. Although it was unbelievable to see all the dead animals, the mineshaft was intense. The cracking of the wood and the potential of collapse, had me biting my nails the whole time. LOL!!!

My brother had a summer gig looking for forgotten mine shafts in the CA wilderness with the Forest Serivce. They were trying to map out the dangers, potentially cover or close any that were particularly sketchy, and get rid of explosives left behind at some locations. He didn't go into any, but it was neat to hear about. Cool to see the inside of these abandoned places.

Went caving once. "Spelunking" they called it. Started with a repel into a space that could fit the Statue of Liberty, about 305'. Very Cool. Once at the bottom we entered the shafts. Halfway thru, I started thinking: "All the way down here, about how many of hundreds/thousands of tons of Earth between me and the surface?" NEVER DOING IT AGAIN. It was an Excellent experience. Once. ONE TIME.

I also went caving into an old mine once and it was an awesome experience and would 100% do it again. At one point the people in front of me had walked so fast they had disappeared and the people behind me had walked so slow that they also disappeared. It was just me with my headlamp walking through a tunnel that was filled one foot deep with water. It was scary but also thrilling at the same time. It gave me a chance to experience what it would actually be like getting lost in that cave alone and that would be terrifying. We also reached a huge room and all sat down and turned our lights off. It was just pitch black darkness. Nothing like on the surface.

So, no need to learn illustrator, continue to explore, discover and entertain us. By the way - wouldn’t it be cool if a camera had the technology to record elevation tracking. Potentially creating an underground mapping with related stats. Probably $$$$. Thanks for responding
