Beatriz Flamini might be the Michael Jordan of living in a cave.<\/p>\n
In a strange and personal adventure, the 50-year-old Spanish athlete entered a cave 70 meters below the Earth in Granada, Spain, on November 21, 2021. She was 48 at the time.<\/p>\n
Today, she finally exited her subterranean home and shared her secret project of isolation with the rest of the world, El Mundo<\/em><\/a> reported. So what’s her take on the often debilitating impact of living without sunlight or any human contact for 500 days?<\/p>\n “I didn’t want to leave,” she said at a press conference (translated from Spanish), and there wasn’t “any bad moment.”<\/p>\n For that statement alone, I’m ready to accept Flamini as possibly the most psychologically resilient person on the planet. Though monitored by scientists, she spoke to no one and received no information from the outside world. Food and water were left for her without any physical contact.<\/p>\n
