It all started with a simple DIY project, but it definitely didn’t end that way. A man wanted to make some extra room in his house and the basement seemed like the best place to start. However, he had no idea what he was getting himself into. With each chip away at the basement wall, it became more apparent that something was strange. A hollow abyss was on the other side and despite his fear about what might be inside, he kept digging away. Soon, he learned his small house was part of a huge piece of history. Read on to see the shocking discovery he made on the other side.
1. A Simple Renovation
It was just supposed to be a simple renovation project. A man decided that he needed to expand his home. Multiple generations of a family lived together in the same house and it was becoming cramped and uncomfortable.
Living on a modest income, he didn’t have the money to hire a professional builder to do the job for him. He had to do it himself. The plan was simple: knock down a wall in the basement to build another room. He could not have expected that he was about to change history.
2. The Secret Room
In his basement, he started working to knock down one of the walls, which would serve to expand the house. However, he noticed something odd. As he chipped away at the stone, an opening appeared. Slowly he started uncovering what he thought was a secret room.
As he continued to chip away at the opening, cool air poured out. Possibly it was trapped for thousands of years behind the hard stone. The hole, now large enough to enter, was pitch-black. He quickly found a flashlight and stepped inside the dark abyss.
