Housing purposely cut INTO a hill or mountain are not considered caves which are naturally occurring. The writer here is quite mistaken.

It sounds similar to what we call Earth Shelters here. I’ve seen some called Earthship Homes in New Mexico made from recycled materials. So it sounds less like cave’s than making use of the terrain.

It's actually pretty crazy what you can do underground. I used to work in an Iron Mountain facility that was an old Pennsylvania limestone mine converted into office spaces, data centers and storage.

Really, where was that reported? I never used the site, but saw your comment and checked it through a couple reputable services and there were zero flags. I am just curious where it is flagged.

Although I did see where a site with a similar name ending in DOT com was flagged.

I also visited the site and did not get any warnings from Norton. What am I missing?

In China, if you are one in a million, there are 1500 people just like you.

Wow - I knew that was a thing in the past but didn't realize it still went on.

If memory serves, the largest loss of life in a natural disaster in human history happened in China I think in the 1400's (?) when a huge chain of cave habitats collapsed and like 300,000 people died.

Apparently these caves were of very soft stone which made them easy for people to carve into but also ultimately ended in the catastrophe named above.

Let it sit it in a concoction of 1/6 bleach, 1/4 rubbing alcohol, and 2/3 lemon scented dish soap for up to one hour. Afterwards, put it in a bowl of rice and bake for 20 mins at 250*.
