New Mexico's Hand-Carved Caves

While many of the items on this list are foods or something extravagant, this one is extravagant but in a very unique way. From the outside, it might look like this is just a cave, but it is far more than that. This cave is not naturally occurring, and it was actually created completely by hand by Ra Paulette in New Mexico's desert near Santa Fe. He hand-chiseled 14 whole caves that people can now visit.

Luckily, the caves were made of soft sandstone, so Ra Paulette's work wasn't as hard as it would have been in other places. Still, this is an impressive sight!
