Josh Discovers NEVER Before Found Cave Near the Legendary Metal Library | Expedition Unknown

at the start of our trek into the bowels of the  Taios cave Eileen Hall and I discover that what’s down here might be just as dangerous as what’s in  the jungles above oh snake back up back up back up oh boy look at that guy that is a rainbow boa  and a pissed-off one at that you can see the actual rainbow pattern okay ready everybody  back up we’re going to let him go there you go we give the snake room to slither on  and we keep hiking into the inky void after another hour we arrive at a geologically  stunning area known as the Hall of Stelactites it’s the second other worldly landscape  made famous by the first man on the moon alen this is a stellic m where Neil Armstrong  was standing on to take a picture wow careful careful look at that armstrong was right here  one small step for man one giant leap

for Eileen Hall nice job let’s make  sure we get a photo of you here okay [Music] reading your father’s book his journals  his writing is being down here what you imagined yeah it’s magical yes it is magical all  right well we’ve got a lot of ground to cover from our base camp we’ve now hiked more  than a mile into the cave passing the Hall of Stalactites and soon we arrive  at an entrance to a truly shocking space welcome to the amphitheater look at this  incredible you can see why when the first explorers came down here they thought  that this must have been more than just natural there is a kind of architecture to it  almost exactly it’s wild okay onward let’s go we leave the amphitheater and follow the map made by Eileen’s father but we  soon face a major obstacle well this looks challenging he’s going to put the

rope down okay this is where our  journey begins to get really dicey okay ready [Music] [Music] theo Eileen and the others also make it up  and over [Music] on the other side of the falls everything looks different no more  expansive caverns where we can spread out and explore we go down now Theo yes it’s going  to get really slippery here so be careful guys this just got real 180° uh-huh i feel a foothold okay if you’re claustrophobic now would be a  good time to change the channel unbelievable [Music] starting to see why  not more people come down here we have now entered the water park of  my nightmares thousands of gallons of water rushing through passages that  get progressively tighter and tighter get me out of here i’ve been in lots of underground caves  but this is a special kind of hell [Music] this is crazy

[Music] one with the game be one with the game  be one with the game get me out of here we have to go back this isn’t the right way come back come back we got to go back sit down in just a huge  waterfall and drops out got to go back to the last junction and turn around as we  retrace our steps to get back on track I keep my eyes peeled for any side chambers  or glimmers of metal tablets in the rushing water [Music] after a few more wrong turns in  the tight maze of flooded passages and nearly 3 miles underground we finally arrive  at our destination the end of the map we’ve come all the way through here and  we’re literally here this is as far as anybody’s been nobody else has been further  than this spot this is usually flooded why is it so much lower we have a dry summer  so have you ever seen any of this before

no nobody has seen this before let’s check it  out come on okay let’s go the low water levels in this chamber reveal something that the  1976 expedition couldn’t see a tight tunnel that goes even deeper could this be where  the cave’s original explorer Juan Maritz found his metal library like everything else  in this cave the passage looks uncomfortably narrow i think it goes through the wish track  all right I’m right behind you let’s do it this is a leap of faith there may be  a chamber beyond this tunnel but to reach it we’ll have to swim underwater  in hopes of finding another air pocket if we become trapped there is a  very real danger of drowning here i’m through come through all  right Josh i’m coming through [Music] look at this there’s a whole  another world back here with a soaring ceiling and smooth flat walls it feels like  we’re in the corridor of a grand temple josh

look at this wall everything here has been  flooded all this kind of sticky material is clay nobody has filmed or documented  this before undiscovered undiscovered and what is that there it looks like  stairs there’s a staircase here look at that unbelievable well where does it  go i don’t know let’s go through it’s It’s solid [Music] each step is perfectly  proportioned as though carved by hand we could be standing in the antichamber  to the fabled metal library [Music] oh my god look at this come  here get a camera here [Music] oh wow look at this thing it’s as though  we’ve entered the beating heart of Taios a chamber hundreds of feet high filled with the  most spectacular formations I’ve ever seen it’s just being made by the dripping of the of  the water coming down yeah can you imagine but this is thousands and thousands of years this  formation this is all uh calcium calcium carbonate

[yes forming this cauliflower structure awesome i  can’t believe this i see it and I can’t believe this it’s insane that’s so huge we don’t have this  kind of structure at any part of the whole cave
