50 year old sportsman Spain he returned to the surface of the earth and sunlight, spending the first 500 days in an underground cave near Granada.

Wearing sunglasses as she tried to adjust to the spring light in southern Spain, climber Beatriz Flamini told reporters that time flew by quickly in the cave and that she was in no hurry to leave.

“When they came for me, I was sleeping. I thought something happened. I said, “Really? Definitely not. “I haven’t finished my book,” he commented. All this time, she had little contact with the people watching her.

Flamini’s team claims a 50-year-old man broke the world record for the longest time spent in a cave in an experiment monitored by scientists who study the human mind and circadian rhythms.

She was 48 years old when she entered the cave, celebrating two birthdays alone underground.

Flamini launched her venture on Saturday, November 20, 2021 – before the outbreak of war in Ukraine, before the end of her country’s mandatory Covid mask measure, and before the death of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II.

On Friday, she was greeted by cameras and her support team, hugging her after a long self-isolation. Asked if he ever thought about pressing the panic button or leaving the cave, he replied: “Never. I really didn’t want to go out.”

Knitting and reading

Flamini spent her time underground doing gymnastics, painting and knitting woolen hats. According to her support group, she carried two GoPro cameras with her to document her life, read 60 books and drank 1,000 liters of water.

At first he tried to fix the passage of time. “On the 65th day, I stopped counting and lost track of time,” he admitted.

There were difficult times – for example, when the cave was infested with flies.

She focused on maintaining balance, eating well, and enjoying the quiet. She ate treats like avocados and fresh eggs and looked forward to the clean T-shirts the support team had sent her.

“I didn’t talk to myself out loud, but I had internal conversations and I was really good at managing myself,” he joked. “You have to watch your emotions. If you are scared, it is natural, but never let the panic overwhelm you, otherwise you will be paralyzed.

She claimed that she asked not to be informed of events on the surface under any circumstances, even in the event of the death of a relative.

Flamini was under the supervision of a group of psychologists, researchers, cavers and physical education experts who studied how social isolation and disorientation can affect the sense of time, brain function and sleep.

He was itching to take a shower and eat scrambled eggs and potatoes with his friends. Now she says it remains for doctors to study the effects on her body and mind before planning more trips to the mountains and caves.
