It’s been a while since we’ve done one of these, and I’ve lost count. So here’s to the uncounted weekly round-up of cool stuff from around the internet! This week we’re featuring weird old lost stuff.

Sword Codes

Lost Chinese Caves

There are two large, abandoned, and inexplicable man-made caverns in China. There are no record of these caves being built, and no artifacts have been found. They were clearly used for something, and even appear livable.
