Mount Rushmore is one of most recognized landmarks in the United States. It features the heads of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt. But behind the heads is a wide opening or a cave that many people don't really know about. It is located directly behind Abraham Lincolns head. Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor, created a 18 foot door behind the landmark that leads to an open room that is 74 feet long and 35 feet high. He wanted this chamber to be where all of the most prized possessions of America to be held. It was supposed to be called The Hall of Records.
While the room does have many important documents like the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. It has been sealed off to the public and that means many conspiracy theories have come about on what is really behind the sealed door. Most conspiracy theories believe that there is evidence on many assassinations of presidents, with proof of extraterrestrial beings being out there, and what’s really inside area 51. Others believe that there are hidden treasures that no one knows about, this was talked about and explored in Nicholas Cages book National Treasure: Book of secrets.
I think that there might be evidence on aliens inside the chamber, but I don't think that they sealed it because they don't want us to know what is in it. I think they sealed it so no one could get in and steal or sell Americas most prized possessions.
What do you think is inside of the chamber?
Why do you think that they sealed it?

I feel like there would be a lot of prized possessions inside of the chamber. Things that are very expensive. I think they sealed it so it would be more of a secretive type of thing. Also if the things put in the chamber were very important, they would seal it so nobody could get in and steal it.
I think there is many historical documants in there and maybe many other secrets and items in there. I think they sealed it so no one would try to break into it but I also think they sealed it because it might not get used that much anymore.
I think there are historical documents that could be important to our country's history. I think it is sealed so people don't go snooping around in the room and don't take anything that could be in it. I would think if people were allowed to go into the room then stuff would get destroyed and would have stuff stolen.
