I'm just weirded out the FAA now owns the property where this began.

On another note, Dyer's reasoning for building the tunnels makes no sense. That would take more than one person and a hell of a lot of time. Not a "hobby" on the side to relax.

I think we need more research into Dyar. He sounds like a plant. The entire attitude towards him was that he was "boring," nothing to see here...

I know. It's ridiculous. Why anyone would believe that miles of tunnels were for him son to play in is ridiculous. Who sends their children underground to play? Parents want them outside getting fresh air, not in some underground tunnel.

Dyar was obviously full of shit about his tunnels. He could not have dug, walled and moved the earth necessary for a tunnel to Rock Creek on his own, all the while working as a renowned entomologist, writing several stories and a novel, raising kids with both his wife and a mistress etc.

Remember he did not just dig these tunnels. He decorated them with faces and inscriptions, put expensive enamel bricks on large parts , built arches, doors and entrances etc.

It's impossible to do in eleven years time. And where did he leave the earth he brought up? It would quickly have filled his p street lot, as well as the other properties he bought there later on.

It could be that the secret tunneling to Rock Creek Park was the first stretch, so he (well, they) could move earth there. Would be interesting to look at ground level differences there before and after 1906-1915. There is a golf course there though.

My understanding from reading the articles is he "rediscovered civil war era tunnels" ,then was forced to resign for, "behavior not fitting a government worker.." he might have claimed discovery but I didnt read where he said he built them..

Ya his explanation is ludicrous. Just seeing the details from the few pics linked it's obvious one man did not do that unless he was doing it for 50yrs.
