Recently, I talked about tunnels that are deep underground and created by someone unknown. This time, it is worth touching on the topic of paleonors, namely who created them and why?
Oddly enough, paleonors were discovered for the first time, relatively recently, in the 2000s. I don't know if they exist in other parts of the world, but we only know of such moves in Brazil.
Then, archaeologists discovered that these very holes, if you can call it that, pass through the rocks. Moreover, these are not just moves, but a whole network with branched parts.
One of the largest passages found was 1.5 meters wide and almost 2 meters high. By the way, the length of such a course was almost a kilometer.
Initially, when paleonors were first discovered, experts said that nature did it. But after studying, it turned out that someone was doing it, and on the walls of these tunnels, already petrified claw marks were found.
The main version, with which I partially agree, is that the burrows were made by the ancient descendants of sloths, although they should have been many times larger, it is assumed that the body length of such a creature reached 5 meters.

But now, I would like to correct the official version a little. It is clear that no one can know who actually lived in the past, but why are the descendants of sloths?
Scientists simply said that this is so, but where did this information come from? No evidence or finds, they just stated that this is just such an animal.
What is all this for? Of course, it is unlikely that humans or other developed beings did this. But why not worms, for example? Scientists, by the way, themselves could not find an answer to the fact that the "ancient sloths" were digging, in fact, a stone. It was possible to find a place with land convenient for excavations.
In general, the origin of paleonors has not really been unraveled. They believe that these are the ancestors of sloths, of some enormous size, but I think that these were creatures, too, of huge sizes, but perhaps not particularly capable of at least somehow thinking, as I said above, for example, worms.
I decided to write an article on this topic, since the paleonors themselves are quite interesting. And the underground tunnels, which I wrote about a little earlier, may not have been made by people, but by other creatures.
