The death pit that appeared in the middle of the road unintentionally revealed a mysterious plaster mine located just below the ground

Reportedly, the mysterious cave system mentioned above was discovered after Para Sapa Grotto - a group of adventurous people in the US explored the death pit in the town of Blackhawk. Accordingly, the Para Sapa Grotto team used a number of specialized tools for climbing and exploring caves to advance to examine the aforementioned death pit.

The death pit is quite large, located right next to a road leading into the residential area

Initially, the Para Sapa Grotto team thought that the giant crater could lead to a cave underground. However, as soon as they set foot beneath the crater, the Para Sapa Grotto team discovered that this is essentially a plaster mining system that was abandoned many years ago. Inside, there are still traces of mining, including large bores, or plaster debris.
