In the year 1970, Soviet scientists began one of the greatest and most ambitious drilling and mining experiments in human history. In the Kola Peninsula, a drilling project started which would go on to reach farther down into the Earth’s crust than any other in history, setting a Guinness World record that still stands today.
Even now, over twenty years since the cessation of all drilling activities at the borehole, which has since been welded shut, it’s remembered as a grand science project which brought about great scientific discoveries, as well as rumors, myths and legends of the type that wouldn’t be out of place in a modern horror movie.

It's 4 am and I intentionally searched for this

Americans: "we're going to the moon!!" Russian: "we're going to hell."

It's amazing how man can send something million of miles into space but less than eight miles down into the interior of his home planet. Despite its unsurpassed depth this digging is just a scratch in the surface of the earth which has a radius of about 4000 miles

Americans: we just put a man on the moon, what have you guys been up to? Russians: we dig hole

Never dig straight down -minecraft

2:41 yes definitely not a microphone melting from the heat.

me on the outside: wow that's terrifying my mind: how long did it took them to build that drill to be so long
-
Thank god they stopped... I wouldn’t want to see my ex crawling out

This is where all the socks from your dryer go

Scientists:put a microphone 12,200 meters in the ground Demon:starts beatboxing

Kid: digs hole in backyard The parents: oh, how cute! The kid 30 years later:

I tried this when I was 7 I got down to 3 ft

I think the micro phone picked up the voice of a Chinese lady screaming when she saw a random drill popping out of her bath tub.

They should really make a Hollywood production of this

Well I started a very impressive project when I was 9. I was going to dig to China. I had to hurry because we were only staying at the beach a few hours. We got down about 5ft, so we did fall a little short of reaching China. Having said that, people were impressed that a few kids could dig a beach hole of that size. We hit black mud near the end of digging. It smelled awful.

When I was a kid i allways use to think about digging a hole, and wondering if it would go to the other side of the planet🤔
-
i don't think Russians used "miles" to measure the distance.

The Devil is like " you ain't seen nothing yet 😈 "

-when I dug a giant hole on the beach one time I thought it was the deepest one in the world -that ‘sounds from hell’ mic audio was proven to be fake, it was a screaming track taken from a super old horror movie and distorted -let’s open the hole back up WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR???!?!?
