I’m going to take a stab at this.
Because it is underground.

No , it’s very mutually exclusive when you hear idiots try to fear monger saying water will rise if we don’t cut our carbon footprint in ten years.
The earth is estimated to be 4.5 billions years old and we have idiots thinking the climate is changing after the last 150 years of humans burning fossil fuels
the climate changing doesn't mean the earth goes away
it just becomes a pain in the arse for us to live in some places that people live right now

Sharks are older than trees!

For me it blows my mind that grant seeking physicists think they can figure out the universe but we don't know what the hell is at the bottom of a cave on Earth

How many of those 4.5 billion years were humans burning fossil fuels? It’s entirely possible our way of living is having an impact on climate. If you can’t comprehend that maybe you’re the idiot.

The earth was a lot smaller back then, as well. 4.5 billion years of an expanding earth will create changes errwhere.

I've heard stories that a while back people found shark teeth and other fossilized sea creature stuff in the Aimwell, LA sand dunes and other NorthLa and CenLa areas. Pretty interesting.

Eh, it started off great and everyone thought it would be the next great period in pre-historic times, then 2-3 million years went by and it really lost its luster

Fun fact: the Atari game Adventure was based on the text game Colossal Cave, which in turn was inspired by Mammoth Cave.

Not possible, sharks swim, caves are in Kentucky duh.... this appears to be an attempt to get grant money.

This phenomenal shark diversity followed the massive extinction event in the preceding upper Devonian.

I've always found this theory interesting.
1. Many scientists think that the earth's core is cooling off. However, matter that cools off shrinks, not expands. 2. It is believed that the continents are moving closer rather than apart, which is a sign of the earth shrinking not expanding.

Mammoth Cave is an entrance to Hollow Earth

Why is this?
Natives definitely knew about it, all manner of remains found in the caves. Kentucky became a state in 1792, so sometime in that ballpark is when Id expect we (ole whitey) found out about it ourselves.
I know we used the saltpeter found within for gunpowder and shipped a shat ton of it out during the War of 1812 to help kick British arse. Im a big history guy so thats what I always think of when I think of the caves.
But it didn't become a national park until the 60s or 70s I believe. Couldnt tell you how far explorers have gone in there but I know last time I went they told us whatever the estimate was of unseen sections of the cave and it was something totally crazy.
