Inside a Secret Underground Society

We’re back! And… what.. a strange adventure.. We honestly got quite close to not sharing this after filming it but after sitting on this footage for a while we decided to release it. Our friend @LexieLimitless told us about this place a few years ago after she already went to visit. She came with us to help us capture this unique experience, and we recommend checking her channel out if you haven’t already :) youtube.com/c/LexieLimitless

I love how Thomas and Amar were trying to be nice and understand the lady and also them trying not to say it’s a cult

“If it makes them happy, if it makes them productive and if it makes them loving towards each other and the planet… then who are we to judge?” Well said.

Setting asides the time travelling magic, the art in this place is incredible. Hope these people can live in peace.

How has this "community" gone so under-the-radar for so long. Such beautiful, incredible structures and art... Those underground temples! I agree it may be the "8th wonder of the world". Mind blown.

"I'm an ant he's a gorilla, we are both black but different size." Ammar's face says it all lol

That treehouse was such a dream home

Thank you so much for allowing this to be a mystery you couldn’t quite define, and allowing Damanhur people their dignity. I was there this May for about 3 weeks. I had only positive “vibes” and experiences with the people, made friends, benefitted from the trippy looking treatments, and came away with a deep respect for this community. One of the most fascinating aspects to learn is that the people who’ve built and created the underground temples are ordinary people who learned their artistic crafts as they went. They believe everyone has artistic talent of some kind, and it gets better the more you use it. You can see it from room to room, the mosaics for instance in some of the earlier rooms are not as refined as the newer rooms. And over the years teams of artists develop who often refine what was started. It is remarkable!! To help our visiting group understand the process, they led us through an art project where we each had a space on a huge piece of construction paper, yards long, and we were told to paint whatever we wanted. Once we were all done, we were then asked to stand next to someone elses work. Then we were told to start adding to someone the other persons work. No one wanted to do this at first, wanting to respect the painting and not offend the original artist. But once we got into it, everyone working on everyone elses art piece, we got more comfortable and saw that the entire piece was growing more beautiful. Then we switched a 3rd time. By then end, the entire work was exloding with color and creativity that we truly made together. They then explained this is how they work on the art in the underground temples. Together. A bit mindblowing, especially considering how extraordinary the underground temple is.

I am so grateful you posted this story. I love the strange and this was an absolutely magical and beautiful place. The colors...I can’t even imagine how awestruck I would be to see it in person. Amazing!

The comfiest looking hoodie has "seek discomfort" written on it

I went to Damanhur 2 years ago, visited the temples and spent a day talking with tons of different people, but wow guys it’s always impressive to see the magnificence of those underground structures. Good job guys, as usual 💜

Pushing yourself outside your comfort zone can bring to such an amazing beautiful place. But I also think that over thinking can hurt you.

I lived here for a few months in 2016. It is still strange to me but I loved the people and community.

I hope the initial tiredness they felt as they entered the hall with the spheres is not because of oxygen deprivation as a result of being underground.

Regardless of how absurd their beliefs are, that underground place is beautiful.

Thank you for deciding to post this! Regardless of sceptics and still feeling not sure about what happened, isn't that exactly what your channel is about? I love how you are sharing your own discomfort in this video and reading the reactions, how much discomfort it triggers from so many. I've been watching this video with great pleasure, it felt like around every corner there was a new surprise. People tend to put a label on everything and are confused when they can't. Some might call it a cult, others a microsociety, others a spiritual organisation, I guess the only right word is the name they gave themselves and that is what they are. As you said, if they are not hurting anyone but becoming productive, creative and live happily, why would any outsider need to judge it? Well done for the storytelling, i think it's one of your most honest videos and would actually love to see more content that even triggers us as watchers to a new level of discomfort. As one of my favourite quotes say "comfort is the enemy of progress", which is why I amazing you gave us something to progress in our minds.❤️ Ps: Amar, you're such an incredible addition to these travel videos. So happy to see you there too! Pps: Maybe you've been before, but in Budhapest there is a cave you can go underground and experience true darkness, it's notbut it was one of my most interesting life experiences, and since you're in Europe now.. 👀

I love to see people living creatively with a purpose, creating their own mini-society based on the values and ideals they want to have in their world. I was a little embarrassed at the twilight zone asides of the video makers, and it was obvious that they had rather rigid ideas about what is real and desirable, but the openness of the people who welcomed them and who were quite aware of the immaturity of their guests, and yet didn't care at all about it told me that they had a great understanding of how to get along in the world. Kudos to the video makers for their pioneering spirit and worldwide explorations.

This has got to be one of the strangest yet coolest 22 mins of yes theory my mind is blown 🤣

The fact you guys stay open to experiences like this, makes the video watchable. So many others would roll their eyes or scoff at some of the things said in this video. Its very refreshing to see the opposite

Great job on being open minded, listening, discerning; while still being honestly skeptical. Growing up in Southern California there were a number of groups that had similar belief systems that went off the rails. Great job folks! Great work!
