Meta-Archaeology
Console: event ancrel.9125
Description

If the mining technology retained by previous diggers was on par with that type of equipment, the previous digging of the shaft - a shaft hundreds of meters deep - shows a remarkable commitment.
What is it in the depth that is worthy of such excursion?
