(ORDO NEWS) — There are giant tunnels in Brazil and Argentina. An adult can walk on them. Therefore, scientists believed for a long time that these are artificial underground passages.
Then they thought that they were created by nature itself. Now experts have found the solution and shared it officially.
The tunnels are really ancient and quite large in their dimensions. Their height reaches 2 meters.
It is clear that something big and powerful created this underground network. If it is not geological processes and not the result of human activity, then what?
The network of underground tunnels stretches for more than 600 meters. Geology professor Heinrich Frank said that at first his attention was drawn to a hole in a hill on one of the construction sites.
Once he was just passing by and became interested in this hole as a scientist. Curiosity was so strong that he decided to spend time studying this phenomenon.
It was by chance that he came across the network of tunnels. The length of the first was only 4.5 meters.
But when he began to study other underground passages in this area, the total distance was more than half a kilometer.
On the walls he found traces that belonged to some creature. What was found on the walls resembled the mark of giant claws.
It is already clear that a person could not have left it behind. As it turned out, this was done by giant sloths that lived about 8-10 thousand years ago.
In the distant past, these animals lived in the territory of modern Brazil and Argentina. They were not much like modern animals. They were bigger, stronger and different in appearance.
Only in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, there are about 1,500 such tunnels. The dimensions of the largest of them are impressive: the diameter is almost 1.8 m, and the length is 609 m. Most likely, it was dug by a group of animals.
