‘Ark’ 2.0: Largest Private Shelter on Earth Prepping Below Kansas Town

Brave New Underworld: Now accepting applications

ATCHISON, KANSAS — The ‘Ark’ is buried 130 feet below the Earth’s surface and carved out of a small mountain made of solid limestone. It’s the vision of Robert Vicino, founder of The Vivos Group, and will cater to “preparedness minded families” who prefer to sit out apocalyptic events in style. Whether this small Kansas town likes it or not, a bold new sanctuary for the end times has arrived.

Known locally to Atchison residents for years as “The Caves”, the site was originally under the control of the U.S. Government until recently. It was previously used as a high security storage facility for the US Army and Defense Department. One of the site’s landfills has a confirmed toxic leak, possibly from several years as an ammunition and missile silo. Its design is ideal for storage of highly classified Defense Department documents and files.

The last few months have seen a flurry of activity at the site. In April of 2013 the U.S. Government sold the property to MO-KAN Underground, a group of investors from Springfield, MO. According to their website, they are actively “seeking businesses who are interested in developing this property.”

Vivos Kansas

It appears they have their first customer. The Vivos Group, a company that started out selling the apocalypse by building a network of luxury bunkers underground called “Vivos”, has now doubled-down on their vision by creating the largest private shelter on Earth. Read the company’s press release below:

For Immediate Release:

 
Shelter as Big as the Empire State Building to Save One in Every Million People
Not just a shelter, but a year-round ‘survival resort’
 
Atchison, Kansas, June 13, 2013 – A massive underground complex encompassing over 2 million square feet is now being outfitted as the largest private shelter on Earth.  The latest in a network of shelters built by The Vivos Group, this ‘Ark’ is also the first of its kind, being dubbed the Vivos Survival Shelter & Resort.  The huge complex will not only accommodate more than 5,000 people for a minimum of one year of autonomous survival, but will also be open to its members as a year-round resort offering its co-owner members the opportunity to vacation at the shelter anytime they desire. 
 
Robert Vicino, founder and CEO of Vivos, states: “When completed, it will remain ready as the ultimate life-assurance shelter for its co-owner members to seek refuge from virtually anything mankind or nature may throw our way.”  Complete with all the amenities of a 4 star hotel, and a long list of recreational activities, owners and their families will be safe and protected, without the need to return to the surface for a minimum of one year in the event of disaster.  The former government complex is located nearly 130 feet below the surface and carved out of a solid limestone mountain. Due to its unique composition, its structure is 6 times stronger than standard concrete.  “We know of no larger shelter other than the reported secret government bunkers, that unfortunately are not accessible by the general public,” Vicino added.
 
The fortress will survive virtually any predictable disaster or catastrophic event including: nuclear fallout, biological agents, chemical war gases, a viral pandemic, super volcanic ash, an electro-magnetic pulse (EMP), X-Class coronal mass ejections (CME’s), extreme weather and earth changes, and even manmade disasters: from an economic meltdown, to total anarchy.  This complex has full-time security, protection devices, hardened air handling systems, and several enormous blast doors.
 
“At full capacity, the ½ mile long underground complex will save the lives of nearly 1 in every 1 million people on Earth, along with the storage of precious museum artifacts and treasures, DNA and gamete cells of thousands frozen within a series of cryovaults, volumes of data, books, movies and more,” Vicino added.
 
As a resort, this Vivos complex will become an attraction for families wanting to mingle with like-minded members, while providing their children a host of recreational, educational, and even survival activities, both above, on the park-like grounds and below, within the constant 70 degree temperature of the shelter. Activities will include: golf, rock climbing, a ropes course, martial arts training, a gym, tennis, basketball, and volleyball courts, a baseball field, a bowling alley, bike riding and mountain biking, rollerblading, a skate park, an underground 5K marathon course, field games, boating and rafting, survival classes, gun and archery ranges, paintball, horseback riding, ATV trails, and a pool with a waterslide.
 
Additional underground amenities include: kitchens, a bakery, dining and lounge areas, a wine bar and cellar, a dance floor, theaters, a nursery, and a hair salon and spa.  The massive shelter also features: classrooms, computer rooms, workshops, arts and crafts rooms, meeting rooms, meditation and worship areas, food and supply warehouses, acres of hydroponics gardens, an aquaponics farm, a communications center, security offices with a detention area, large vaults, pet kennels, an underground 2-acre dog and cat park, a motor pool, and even secure museum artifact storage.
 
Perhaps the most unique feature of the shelter is that members can drive a full-size recreational trailer or motor home directly inside, with space allocated for more than 1,200 vehicles nestled within miles of roads.  Like an underground RV park, each family will enjoy the privacy of their own vehicle’s quarters, meeting their particular needs and comfort standards.  Due to the economies of scale of this mega complex, the effective co-ownership cost per person is now able to be reduced to about 10% of the smaller Vivos shelters.  A family of 4 with a 25-foot long RV can join in for only $25,000, with a pricing schedule based on the length of their vehicle, as opposed to the traditional per-person occupancy rate.
 
The reaction from Vivos members is that the ongoing resort and recreational benefits are well worth the price of co-ownership, not to mention the ability to protect your family from virtually every foreseeable future catastrophe.  “We are confident this shelter will become the ‘Disneyland’ of resort vacation destinations for preparedness minded families, year after year!” Vicino concluded.

Digging for Answers

On the surface, this could be nothing more than one man’s entrepreneurial vision for making good on a prophesy. Digging deeper, it’s less clear how this venture can stay above water without some type of “strategic” interest to supplement a doomsday business model.

Vicino: Founder and CEO of Vivos, Captain of ‘The Ark’

Individuals and families willing to reserve their share in the doomsday bunkerplex could provide the upfront cash needed to develop the underground community. According to their press release, Vivos will be providing among other amenities cryovaults for DNA storage, recreational activities and “detention” areas.

Who will cover the ongoing safety, environmental and security costs for the massive, year-round luxury FEMA-like operation? 

Has the U.S. Government really turned over this secure asset to a private developer to build a survival resort Disneyland?

We visited Atchison, KS, a town with a population of about 11,500 people. As of this report, local media coverage of the transaction and announced plans are markedly absent. Atchison residents we spoke with knew very little of the plans.

‘The Ark’ will be carved out of a small mountain made of solid limestone

A brief survey of what we heard from residents of the town:

‘I heard it went private’
‘Parts of it are underwater’
‘They’re planning to store computer files down there’
‘We’ve seen an increased security and police presence there lately’
‘The deer population behind the fences has suffered’
‘Everything is sort of hush-hush’

Anything is possible 130 feet below the Earth’s surface

One resident agreed the plan almost sounded like a storyline from the movie Total Recall. Another resident, was suspicious it could be a front for a cult.

After hearing from the local residents, we attempted to interview the two landscapers who were prepping the lawns on the site’s exterior. They were less forthcoming with their thoughts on the bunkerplex, and didn’t really ‘know very much’ about its planned use.

Ideal Location for Nebulous Activity, or Mega Business Opportunity?

The town’s own police chief admitted after a recent visit: “I have lived here my whole life. I’ve worked at the police department for many years, but this is the first in-depth tour I’ve had of the facility.” Even the local paper’s weekend edition was absent of any coverage of the announced plans for the caves.

The site is located at 6675 Sherman Road in Atchison, KS. The parcel is surrounded by parkland, residential and industrial land uses, including a water treatment facility nearby. A stretch of homes sits directly across the street from the underground facility.

To put this event in perspective, the proposed land use would be the largest of its kind in several surrounding counties combined, on the order of new highway road construction. A new bridge across the site’s major waterway, the Missouri River, is nearing completion.

I do believe we are in end times,’ says Vivos founder Robert Vicino.

Or, is this the beginning of something else? We will continue to follow this story above and below ground as it develops.

      This has scam written all over it :!: :!: :!: Buyer beware.

      What prevents the government and or the military taking the place back at the time it is needed or everybody else that knows of its existence armed to the teeth trying to get in. preventing the members from doing so. Good idea in theory…
      Nice idea though.

    • Anonymous

      Too public to work

    • greenghost

      Sounds interesting. Like W.Willow said though once you have invested there is no gaurantee they wont fall through with their plans.

      Underground bunkers will be death tombs during the crustal pole shift Planet X/Nibiru will cause. The elites and those stupid enough to follow their lies (they claim Planet X is not even real while THEY prepare!) can have those bunkers.

      It only makes sense: 9+ quakes worldwide during the pole shift. Does that sound like being underground is the place to be? Of course not!

    • Baha2012

      I would have to agree with Anonymous on the 9+ earthquake theory .. maybe uncertainties of earthquake damage is one reason why the government gave it up … it’ll take a grander plan than what any man can come up with to get us through events to come which even evidence point to now-a-day …

    • Smiddywesson

      This reads like the first few chapters of the book Swan Song. The facility will never be built, and anyone putting their money down will lose it.

      The funniest part was this: “The fortress will survive virtually any predictable disaster or catastrophic event…hardened air handling systems…”

      LOL. Yes, the fortress will survive, but will the people in it survive when the hungry hordes pour gasoline down the air intakes to get the pantry to open? How about when they stop up your exhaust so you can’t run your generators to keep food cold, generate light, or even breath????

      There’s 300 million people in the US, almost all of which have less than 3 weeks of food supplies. How you advertise you have food and think it won’t be taken when you most need it is beyond me. The day of the castle has passed.

      • Geeper

        But that’s it, the day of the castle would return. How would the hungry hordes get to my air intakes when I’m picking them off from a sniper tower? I’m sure these guys have plenty of planned defences that they aren’t sharing the details of.

        Or that it’s all a massive scam…

    • terminalprepper

      Survival resort? lol What are they gonna do when the suppies run out? This is a suckers bet 100% scam and waste of money, but anyone one that could afford this kinda of tomb deserves what their buying. Anyone with the kind of money it takes to buy into this shelter had to earn it off the blood and sweat of others. Every dog has his day. I say good let the rich and worthless buy the most expensive tombs in history.

    • rose

      You can run, but you can’t hide.

    • Anonymous

      the elite will be running to their underground bunkers also. only one problem they like anyone else underground will all die. waste not your time, your money, and your hope on this type of life.

    • Anonymous

      One big Mother Bunker Massive Bomb would go like a hot knife through butter! :wink:

    • bigron4570

      It is just like the human nature to always rely on man himself for me i will put my full trust in God he has always provided for me and he always will.If it means i lose my life for whatever reason then so be it atleast it will be in the Lords timeing.Trust in man will get ya know were trust in the Lord will give you eternity..

      • wakeup

        “Trust in man will get ya know were trust in the Lord will give you eternity..”

        EXACTL, COULDN’T HAVE SAID IT BETTER. BUT THE ONLY PROBLEM IS WHO IS KING JAMES AND WHO AND WHAT IS THE LORD?

        1. KING JAMES IS A MAN LAST TIME I THOUGHT ABOUT IT.

        2. THE LORD IS A ENGLISH WORD AND WHEN TRANSLATED BACK IT’S BAAL.

        3. BAAL ENERNITY IS HELL, COUPLE OF THINGS THEY DIDNT LIE ABOUT JESUS IS BAAL (lord in English) and MANY WILL COME AND SAY LORD, LORD WE DID THIS IN YOUR NAME AND THAT IN YOUR NAME. THE TRUE AND ONLY MESSIAH (living word) will say I NEVER KNEW YOU, DEPART FROM ME. BECAUSE HE HAS ONLY ONE NAME AND THAT IS THE ONE HIS FATHER GAVE HIM. DUH NOT JESUS, IESOUS,AND NOT YESHUA.

        4. OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN HALLOWED BE THY NAME (singular=one and hallowed-sacred, Duh) thy kingdom come THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.
        SO WHAT DO YOU THINK THE FATHER CALL HIS SON NAME IN HEAVEN?
        REALLY NOT TO HARD OF GUESTION, PRETTY MUCH COMMON SENSE. UNLESS YOU BELIEVE THE STRONGLY DELUSIONAL LIE?

        5. STOP TRUSTING IN TRANSLATION, BECAUSE THEY LIED.

        6. LIVING WORD=HEBREW LANGUAGE! HEBREW IS A LANGUAGE NOT A PEOPLE. PROPHESY WOULD BE FOR THE BELIEVERS TO LOOK TOWARDS HIS PURE WORD, NOT A RACE OF PEOPLE THAT DONT EVEN BELIEVE IN HIS LIVING WORD. (THE MESSIAH)

        7. YOUR RIGHT TRUSTING IN MAN (KING JAMES) WILL GET YOU KNOW WERE YOU WANT TO GO.

        8. EVER WONDER WHY 66 BOOKS IN THE BIBLE? (clue adding and taking away) ASK YOURSELF HOW AND WHEN DID SATAN GO OUT TO DECIEVE THE WORLD IN FOLLOWING HIM.

        9. WHAT IS THE MAIN RELIGION THAT WENT COUNTRY TO COUNTRY TRYING TO CONVERT THEM? CLUE CRUDASDERS FOR CHRIST RING A BELL. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY THAT HAVE BEEN KILLED FOR NOT WANTING TO FOLLOW CHRIST. CONstantine IMAGE OF THE BEAST.

        10. ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROME. WHICH LEAD YOU TO HELL.

        11. BETTER START LEARNING THE TRUE LIVING WORD, THE NARROW PATH AND I BELIEVE IT SAY ONLY A FEW FIND IT. WHY ONLY A FEW, BECAUSE MOST BELIEVE MAN HAS TOLD THE TRUTH TROUGH TRANSLATION AND THEY NEVER STUDY TO SHOW THEMSELF APPROVED LIKE THE NOBLE’S DID IN THE BOOK OF ACTS.

        SO CONTINUE TRUSTING IN TRANSLATION AND NEVER ASKING THE FATHER WHAT HE THINKS ABOUT YOU CALLING HIM OR HIS SON BAAL. JEREMIAH 23 YOU’LL GO AND HAVE YOUR ICTHY EARS FILLED WITH SOME MORE LIES THAT ARE MEN, THAT YOU SAY YOU DONT TRUST IN. BUT IN FACT THAT IS WHAT IT REALLY IS.

        12. THE FATHER IS TELLING HIS PEOPLE, GET IT HIS PEOPLE TO COME OUT OF HER, MYSTERY BABYLON OR PAY FOR ALL ROME HAVE KILLED. CHRIST IS A ROMAN/GREEK MESSIAH CHARACTER OF A PAGAN MITHRAS NOT THE HEBREW MESSIAH.

        13. PROOF, DID THE HEBREW MESSIAH EVER TELL YOU TO CELEBRATE HIS RESSURECTION OR DID HE TELL YOU TO REMEBER HIS PASSOVER (HIS DEATH)

        14. IF JESUS IS THE LIVING WORD AND HAS NEVER SINNED, WHY DOES HE BREAK THE COMMAND THAT SAY NOT TO TAKE THE NAME OF HIS FATHER IN VAIN. VAIN MEANS EMPTY, NOT TO USE, USELESS. If you break one law we break them ALL. jesus according to the English translation is the lawless one that set his self up in the temple (heart) claiming to be the creator. god as you say.

        15. CHRISTIANS FOLLOW A ROMAN/GREEK MESSIAH AND NOT THE HEBREW MESSIAH.

    • iBodyguard

      This is one of the better plans of action offered to the general public proposed I’ve heard in a long time.

      One thing you boys & girls commenting here so negatively don’t realize is that if they even acquire a thousand members of the stated 5k+ capacity in this deep underground small ‘city’ of Prepper-minded individuals, you’re looking at about half a battalion (including Security Force, etc) of healthy (well fed, trained & sheltered) able bodies defending their Homes… A few Fire Ants scattered about poses little threat, but disturb a whole nest, you will get sting! Better to locate easier targets than risk loosing it all in a Survival situation.

      And if that price is correct, thats the cheapest you’ll find for a secure hardened shelter… But you kids try finding another for $6,200ish per person (for the 25 footer of 4), good luck on that one!

      I say more power to them, and anyone else who offers to secure their family or anyone for so cheap in a shelter solution now before its too late, and begin Prepping for Yourself & Loved Ones while you can, instead of crying about what others are planning. Wish you Good Preppers Well…

      no worries people ~ if you don’t live (die) its a full refund if you provide the request in writing.

    • TombRaider

      When it does hit the fan, I’ll be sitting on my back porch having a cold one and enjoying the view…

    • HIDDENTEXTOR

      What do they think is going to happen when Lake Superior flows “into the Gulf of Mexico”?
      That is not a temporary event
      Not only said by Edgar Cayce (who has not always been spot on with dates, but not too bad on events)

      Plus it just seems logical, that when Assumption Parish liquates, the geology will react accordingly

    • Anonymous

      This almost certainly being built for the crustal pole shift Planet X/Nibiru will cause.

      Just one problem as ZetaTalk revealed: Underground bunkers and shelters will be tombs during the 9+ quakes during the one hour of the pole shift.

      The LAST place to be during the pole shift is deep underground. The elites and other jokers can keep their bunkers!

    • NEO Oracle 2016

      Looks like they will have a good defensive point to fight the black awakening. You know the one they show you in world war Z with all the demon possessed people trying to kill everyone else.
