would love to film this place or use it as a location of a movie, it is like something from the James Bond |Movies......... this place is amazing for sure, could you imagine living in a place like this ? AMAZING , this is a work of art, here is a few videos and some info from Wikipedia too, this is one place I want to visit and is on the bucket list for sure. This place managed to be kept a secret for 15 years, I am amazed that I only just heard about this today, This is a temple dedicated to the Egyptian god Horus.
Secret Temple Hidden Underground In Mountains (Damanhur)
The Temples of Humankind are a collection of subterranean temples buried 30 metres (100 ft) underground built by the Federation of Damanhur. They are decorated in several motifs stressing peaceful human collaboration. The Temples are located in the foothills of the Alps in northern Italy, 50 kilometres (30 mi) from Turin, in the valley of Valchiusella.
The temples were created under the direction of Oberto Airaudi who, having claimed visions of ancient temples at age 10 from a previous life, began excavation and building in August 1978. By 1991 most of the chambers were reportedly complete when Italian police, acting on a tip from villagers, conducted a raid on the Temples. However, since the temples were so well hidden, police were unable to locate them until state prosecutor Bruno Tinti threatened "show us these temples or we will dynamite the entire hillside."] Eventually the Italian government reportedly gave them retroactive excavation and erection privileges and the Temples are now open to visitors.

It is pretty amazing to live at Damanhur, I guarantee it. We don't "live" in the Temples of Humankind, but instead in houses of 8-25 people scattered around the valley. Some nucleo houses are in the Sacred Woods Temple, which is a completely different temple. :)
