In 1838 This Slave Braved This Cave’s Bottomless Pit, And In Doing So He Made History

- Sculpted from the Earth over a hundred million years, Mammoth Cave is a daunting labyrinth of contorted tunnels, passageways, vertiginous shafts and cathedral-like chambers - all immersed in darkness. This subterranean wonderland of towering limestone pinnacles and glittering gypsum is a place in which to marvel at nature’s artistry - or get lost in forever.

There's a tunnel in this cave that leads to inner earth
Yes, to shambalah. I live ab 40 mins away from the caves, crazy to think it’s so close to home.
Yess!! The last temple of shiva!! Antartica!!
Yes I actually found the map with the tunnel too paradise labeled past marthas vineyard , no wonder there is no footage down that way .. I got the map guys, if u want it let me know
@@shaun1599 could you message me the map please
@@shaun1599 I need the map asap going to explore in a month it’s a coincidence thanks!!
I live 15 miles from Mammoth Cave. Been there many times. They even have a zip line you can ride on, it's scary as all hell. I'm gonna do it again next weekend.
You live close to Bowling green ?
white owl I don’t even know what this video was about the narrator is so horrible
Her pronounced British accent makes deciphering what she says quite a task for a colonist.
The music wins an award for most insane music on a video.
Fat Man's Misery! One of the sections of the cave. I was too scared of the dark as a kid, and never got a chance to go back. Been to a few others, but I still want to see Mammoth Cave.
Interesting story! Kind of reminds me of a story about Daniel Boone, whose Home away Home Cave dwelling was discovered at the base of a forested Mountain somewhere in Tennessee! This discovery was made in the early 1960's and still had a few implements in it! Now we are talking over 250 years ago!
Also, being from Chicago, I once read that an underground Cavern was found beneath Carl Schurz High School that led to John Gray's farm 2 blocks North on Grace street! John Gray was known to be part of the Underground Railroad as they used to call it, and hid Slaves in it until they were ready to fend for themselves! I talked to the new owner of the Farm Complex one day, and he said that many manuscripts and papers were still in the Basement, which I hope were stored somewhere? Also, the building was demolished for a multi-unit housing Complex sometime in the 1990's, and when workers broke-down the Wooden barriers JG had erected, the passageway was discovered that directly led to the Schurz high School Cavern beneath the School! Right under John Gray's Farmhouse, pictures of which still exist, they found BRAIDED Black African Hair and a few other Kitchen utensils still lying around? Since John Gray probably wanted to remain anonymous over 150 years ago, he had the hole boarded-up until the demolishing squad did their dirty work! So, the passageway remained untouched for way over a Century! By that time, John Gray was long gone, as were his relatives when the 1900-1920's time period surfaced!
Then another curious discovery made its appearance? We don't know if John Gray had anything to do with it, but History books made note of the fact that a thriving Black Community developed in the 1800's, and was bounded by Belmont and Kimball Avenues going South to Milwaukee avenue, then West to Central Park, then North to Belmont avenue, then East to Kimball again! An old Black Church was on Barry Avenue and Kimball Avenue, right on the Southwest corner! I used to walk the area in the 1970's, and a few markers of those times still remained, especially in the alleys where a couple of barns still held their ground!
All those Historical places just walking distance from the Kedzie avenue Place we lived in at that time! Always great to be reminded of that period so close to where we lived!
It's Salt Peter not salt pepper. I crossed the bottomless pit as a kid in the late 60s and early 70s. As a kid I camped all throughout south central Kentucky That bottomless pit will scare you straight. It was and I guess still is dark. From there you have the combined trek over the walkway where it's pitch dark below you. The darkness was like an abyss spreading open to swallow you. Between that and the sign that says how deep underground you along with it being the lowest point early humans had inhabited really will freak you the......out. It did at least for a nine year old kid who's dad died when he was three. It really made for a scary world.
Been there several times.
How great to know that much history.
Thanks
D Gibson The blacks hate historical things, they want to take all historical monuments from Civil war era down Epically Memphis. So don't put a statue or memorial at this slaves feet. It didn't happen, rewrite it...
I heard this woman won the gold at the Olympics Games pronunciation error competition.
Would love to see pics of the various critters that inhabit the cave.
Trying to listen to this was excruciating. Oh my gosh, my poor ears .I finally had to give up trying.
Autumn Season Spare your ears: Don’t visit England, there’s a dear.
@Hein Bertram
Now, now, don't be so thin skinned. Grab your tissues, and pillow, and go to your safe space.
You'll be fine.
You certainly sound silly, making assumptions about where I live.
It's not the accent, it's the ignorance.
If you have trouble with this charming accent you need to get out more
Thank you!
"Salt pepper"???? You obviously meant "salt peter " . I hope.
It was a great tour. I was their in April 2018
Richard Johnson there
@4:25 Cave walls encrusted in jism?
Interesting invention of new pronunciations for dozens of common words in this video. "Speerlucker" for spelunker, "Salt pepper" for salt petre, "physijohnomy" for physiognomy etc., etc., etc.
1:43 Staglatities and staglamiteies!?!?!?!?!?!?! WHAT?????????????????
Wouldn’t want to get Lost in there.
mike mathews. Can't. People everywhere.
i do... i wanna get lost in the caves in the deep pitch murky darkness that seeps into consciousnesses and throttles your high pressure jugular into swarthy submissiveness as it's ever encompassing shroud envelops one...
Would be so much better without the frenetic music competing with the narrator.
... Audio reminds me of my grandparents machine voiced weather radio from the 90's
Naveen Andrews from Lost and “The English Patient “ looks like Steven Bishop. He would be perfect to play Bishop if they ever make a movie about him and Mammoth Cave.
" indigeuous " isnt a word
thank you
Not to mention, speo-lurkers and intepid gism.
:-D
Why are we hearing someone with an English accent talk about a cave in KENTUCKY! ?!? And what is a spear-lunk-ah? Not how I pronounce sperlunker...
Not really, spelunking is cave exploration...
Wesley Borella I know what spelunking is(I love caves and caverns) . And your choice of word can be directed to any color type person from my background thank you very much, and I don't appreciate it.
Why do we hear so many American accents in documentaries about English history?..
beware the glittering gism
Wesley Borella you have chamillionair, 50 cent, & 2pac on your faves list. 😂 &
I bet your inbred Brokeback mountain billy buddies love it when you talk dirty like that
Bowling green Kentucky not far from my home .
Stal-a-tighties, stag-la-mites, and gun-peter. Pepper. Whatever.
:-D
I did an astral projection that placed me in here
"Salt Pepper" an 18th century rap group.
Used to live there beautiful
Please did the slave make it to freedom?
Linda Tuttle hahaha....love it!,!
he was free for one year and died
HI LO/LO , what I totally dislike. If he was free , why is he still referred to as slave? Never truly free
Linda Tuttle,free on paper only by his owner in 1857 where can he go in America, civil war was 1861 1865, and even then you know the rest of the story, as you nicely stated never truly free
HI LO/LO Sadly some idiots still never understand how slavery was is and will forever be horrendous. At least some society members understand
Despite being brazilian and living in US for 4 y, 40 y ago, I couldn't understand much of her talking. That's why I read the commentaries. And going to google if necessário.
necessary
like your videos, thanks, but plz consider changing your intro, the continual popping sounds and clicking sounds (twice) are annoying, thanks again
My ears nooooooo thissss wasss torture
This is America, a slave gets his freedom 7 years after his owner's death, just to die 1 year after getting his freedom.
Black Cherubim What's equally troubling, is he was mixed race. That means, more than likely, the slave owner, or a previous one, was the father.😳😡😠
Dogmo Satchmo That does explain why he was so educated.
Your original statement is an exercise is non sequiturs.
Ronald Johnson the story takes place in the 19th century. Pay fucking attention to the topic.
Black Cherubim he was SELF educated
Salt pepper or salt peter (if thats how you spell it ) in gun powder.
The terrible pronunciation had me physically cringing all the way through this. It badly needed an audio editor.
What did you mean pronunciation? Did you mean accent? She does have an accent, maybe from London...or so...
Agreed! The problem is sibilance, the hissy "S"es that are far more energetic than the rest of the speech. There are devices which will remove the hissy elements of speech - and they damn well should've been used in this piece!
For those of us with sensitive ears, these bursts of high frequency noise can be rather painful.
Nope. I am a Brit and her reading was absolutely DREADFUL! For example, stalagmites is not pronounced stalagmighties! And that's saltpeter, not salt pepper. And a caver is a spelunker, not a spear looker.
Thank you, Martin! Given all those other commenters who didn't seem to notice, I was beginning to wonder if it was the narrator mangling words, or something wrong with my ears.
I gave up halfway through, to be honest.
I subscribe
Sadly, and not even close to being the first time, absolutely atrocious pronunciation. Unlike other commentators, I have no problems with her accent whatsoever. It is her murder of the most rudimentary rules of pronunciation that makes me cringe. Repeatedly. I have complained about this several times before. If you are going to impart information to the public, you have an obligation to do so with some semblance of verbal accuracy. Pronunciation guides, and people who are linguistically competent to coach you on the subject, are readily accessible. Use them.
Liberia was established by exiled American indians
Isn't this cave system a entrance way to inner earth?
imagine this guys in the cave in the 1800s n there was mummies in there ...scary lol
Read Floyd Collins account of the cave networks. I am to understand the caves go many miles deep into the earth's crust and expand into city like places with beings living there. Amazing to find out if that is true.
There are beings, yes. Children of Israel or the nephesh are there.
I been in there. Good place to go get bit up by ticks and catch you some Heartland virus.
this British accent makes this almost unintelligible
Its not the accent its the total inability to pronounce simple words
This is some of the worst audio I’ve ever had the displeasure of listening to. Do you record it from a children’s toy from the 90’s?
And I’m really happy you added the giant red circle in front of the cave entrance, otherwise I never would have known where to look.
Could have said his real name he was an indian
Shiva
my least fav cave i've ever been in. it is not fun at all. man made paths, lots of lights, safety rails, handicap accessible, it even has an elevator!!! good for a church/daycare/school outing ,but not if your really into spelunking.
That is a great cave but I couldn't understand anything that what this lady said
does anyone see that skull at 1:37 pause and keep there
if you scroll over time bar than find 4:40 (don't click) picture will help see it in dark area in between rock there it is
"He located a cave encrusted in "gittering jism". Get a new narrator please.
Spear licker ?
Salt pepper? Did you mean saltpeter?
They mined "salt pepper" wtf is salt pepper
Cool
indijuous... a combination of suggestion/deciduous/indignation/indigent/judiciousness? it's not a word. nice try! +1 for effort
YOU PEOPLE WILL FIND SOMETHING TO COMPLAINT ABOUT,IF IS NOT HOW THEY PRONOUNCE, IT'S THEIR SPELLING,IF IT NOT A HUMAN VOICE IT'S AGAINST THE COMPUTER VOICE...SO THE BEST THING IS TO MAKE YOUR OWN AND DO A BETTER JOB IF YOU CAN OR STF UP...BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME OF US THAT DON'T GIVE A FLYING LEAP..ABOUT YOUR CONCERNS...COMPLAINERS..OF EVERYTHING...ENJOY THE MESSAGE.
.
I absolutely agree with you
I just have to laugh... you're complaining about complaining. Welcome to the internet. Have a nice day ☺
Essex girl,,, what do you expect.
You mean sta-lig-mite
did she say indiguous? ha!
I wonder who taught this women how to pronounce words Saltpepper ffs ? I'm only 2 min's in & there were 3

Staglamites?? Stalactitees? Up your game or give up.

There is no such thing as a bottomless pit.
Hogman Go ya huh my stomach buhahhahaha

Hogman Go Your wrong. My pits only have tops.
It's All about that Bass
😂
it’s literally over 1000 miles and they haven’t even explored 50% of it 🤧
100 million years ago? How do you know? Were you there?
I have a stalactite on the bottom of my evaporative cooler that grew to be 6" long in 30 days. I took a picture of that to Carlsbad Caverns where they also claim that the caves are millions of years old and had them try to explain that. 🤣
British accent
