Not sure why folks get so totally addicted to certain forms of language as a finality, given it obviously evolves and there are more then one. Strange addiction.
I find it absolutely fascinating. Take the Gematria thing, for instance -- even though the language has changed from Hebrew down to English now which seems completely different -- the Gematria still decodes the words in a similar manner.
I wish I had studied linguistics.

Free geothermal energy forever
You'd have to heat the water... The water sitting in your base at 300° would need to be heated to higher temperatures. Or have a never ending supply of (cooler) water pumped to you from elsewhere. Also, you just lugged a compact nuclear reactor down there! Even assuming you have conquered the water issue, why is building/maintaining a huge network of pipes for practical amounts of energy from a geothermal plant more practical than a reactor which might need to be refueled once a couple decades?

You’re assuming technology that we know about would be found down there.

You just pipe it down from the surface.

3. Tons of recent earthquakes in Idaho at exactly 10.0km depth. Many under a national park.
Let's clear this one up.
10Km is the default depth for quakes where you can't determine the depth for any reason.
If you think these quakes are because the good guys are blowing tunnels then that would be very easy to determine by just looking at the wave forms from the quake and determining if they are natural or man made. S & P waves are very different for man made explosions.

And the deepest actual excavation was about half that depth. There have been deeper holes drilled, but a project like Kola took literally decades to drill a hole less than a foot wide down that deep. Meanwhile, temps were something like 300° at that depth. Sooo, probably not....
That's great! It starts with an earthquake,
Birds and snakes, an aeroplane;
and Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
A placard commemorating NASA's "Send Your Name to Mars" campaign was installed on the Perseverance Mars rover on March 16, 2020. Three silicon chips (upper left corner) contain 10,932,295 names and the essays from 155 finalists in NASA's "Name the Rover" contest. And the sunbeams in the diagram spell out “Explore as One” in Morse code.
"The three chips share space on the anodized plate with a laser-etched graphic depicting Earth and Mars joined by the star that gives light to both," NASA officials wrote in a statement Thursday.
