Question, what's the highest mountain on earth?

Did you like just about everyone who's listening, say Mount Everest?

Give yourself a point.

Now let's ask the opposite.

What's the deepest hole on earth?

Some smart Alex among you might be saying the Mariana Trench, but that's wrong.

There exists a hole so deep it exceeds the deepest depths of the famous

Mariana trench, and shockingly, it was dug out by humans. However, what they found at the bottom

no one expected. What did they find? How deep did they go? And how deep have we dug before? Come with me as we dig into some of the deepest

holes on earth and what lies at the bottom of them. You're listening. You're listening. You're

amazed. When you think about what the deepest holes on Earth look like from the surface,

I bet you imagine a jagged circular hollow cutting into the crust and leading down into impenetrable darkness and doom.

But that's not always the case.

Take Shanboralari, for example.

Found in Rajasthan, eastern India, this isn't a simple circular cavity cutting into the earth, but a complex stepwell.

If you didn't know, stepwells are wells with a long corridor of descending steps that drop down to the water level.

This particular step well built during the 8th century provided the areas around

Rajasthan with a dependable water source centuries before modern water delivery systems were introduced.

As it happens, Shanborri is the deepest stepwell in the whole world.

In all, this striking structure consists of 3,500 narrow steps cascading 13 stories constructed 100 feet down under.

That depth's equivalent to around five giraffes stacked on top of one another.

What's the reward for braving the colossal climb down?
