Embark on an epic journey into the world's most remarkable caves with Underworld. From the towering depths of Britain to the sprawling systems of China, each episode combines cutting-edge technology and expert exploration to uncover the hidden secrets, historical wonders, and geological marvels of these underground worlds. 00:00 Britain's Tallest Cave Titan is Britain's tallest vertical cave, and was discovered by Dave 'Moose' Nixon and a team of experienced cave divers. They bring on Roo Walters, a 3D scanning specialist who will conduct a 3D digital scan of the cave using advanced scanning technology. The scan will reveal Titan's precise dimensions and formation, challenging the team with its verticality and requiring innovative scanning techniques. They also look into historical and geological significance of caves, including their formation through carbonic acid erosion and their use by humans throughout history. 52:00 Gibraltar's Underwater Caves We're exploring the intricate cave systems of Gibraltar, a territory with one of the highest concentrations of caves and man-made tunnels in the world. The caves, including Gorham's Cave, have yielded significant artifacts from various historical periods, including tools from early humans and relics from ancient civilizations like the Greeks. The team undergoes risky underwater explorations, uncovering clues about the formation and historical uses of these submerged chambers, and revealing new species and geological formations. 01:43:33 Slovenia's Ice Caves Expert cavers are using advanced scanning technology to explore and map Slovenia's largest ice cave. This effort aims to create accurate 3D images of the cave's interior and its ice formations. The team's mission is crucial for understanding climate history and monitoring future global warming. The ice in the cave potentially holds information on past climates, which is rarely available from this region. In the process of analysing the centuries-old ice, historians delve into the history of the cave where thousands of remains of extinct Giant Cave Bears from the Ice Age have been discovered, as well as the 'baby dragons' that tourists flock to see. 02:35:05 Mysterious Maya Cave Archaeologists and expert cavers embark on a thrilling expedition deep into a mysterious Maya cave. Using cutting-edge 3D scanning technology, the team uncovers astonishing artifacts, revealing evidence of gruesome rituals and a catastrophic event that contributed to the downfall of the ancient Maya civilization. 03:26:38 China's Giant Cave System Join expert cavers on an epic journey into the uncharted Er Wang Dong cave system in Southwest China. Using cutting-edge technology, they explore the massive Cloud Ladder Hall, a cavern so vast it creates its own weather. Discover the mystery behind underground cloud formation, navigate treacherous terrain, and witness the awe-inspiring scale of China's Mountain Halls.
