What is recorded here

No amount of digging or guessing can prove whether the passage is a forgotten drain, a hidden entrance or a phantom born of story. What is certain is that people believed it deep enough to matter, and belief is often the first shape of architecture. The earth keeps that much more of the world than measurement admits.
