[Wow] Underground temple system

I'm partly posting this for my own reference, but mostly because it's damn amazing.

Tunnel network with nine temples hidden under house in Italy¹.

They're stunning (in a New Age cultish kind of way). And go to show what a small group of dedicated (if strange) people can do ...

Links from [livejournal.com profile] valkyriekaren, here.

¹ Apologies, but the link's to the Daily Mail site.

Wow, that's just amazing!

I was highly amused by;

As no planning permission had been granted, they decided to share their scheme only with like-minded people.

Something like this would make my *year* at work! (Not sure what the reference to tax evasion was about though.) I hope they do get permission to keep it, it's am amazing destination and would be awesome to visit. I'd go!

Their site was super-slow so I couldn't check this there - why are they strange and cultish? Other than that they're doing religio-spiritual things, I mean.

why are they strange and cultish?
That's more of a quote from K - although hell, I'd say that building a secret network of underground temples counts as fairly strange and cultish [grin] - and K mentioned a six-month induction course ...

It even illustrates the fantastic tales of Flash Gordon.
