15 DEEPEST Mines in the World

#mines #top15
Humans began mining in the Neolithic period, digging for flint to break down and shape into tools like scrapers, knives, arrowheads, and spears. Some of the deepest known shafts of the time are 330 feet deep in the chalk deposits of France and Britain. Just imagine what it must have been like to dig with such remedial tools. We’ve come a long way since then, digging deeper and deeper into the Earth using progressively more impressive technology that can work around the clock for us. We live in a world where we’ve made mining a necessary task to get us what we want and keep the population of consumers happy, and there’s no end in sight. There is, after all, a lot of money in mining. But some of these mines are absolutely massive and hold more materials than we could possibly imagine. So join us for today’s video, where we countdown the top 15 largest mines on Earth!
