No I didnt read , I just read the parts you had quoted . Please quote again if there is a part which you dont understand , I will try to explain .
For example which man-made places is more lowest than Lutte ? Pleasse dont misunderstand , I really dont know and want to learn . Lutte is 422 meter below .
I have already referenced a list of places below (The shore of the Red Sea is the lowest point of dry land and is 418 metres below mean sea level (MSL)). But I will copy and paste for your ease of access:
Lowest point (artificial)
The lowest point underground ever reached was 12,262 metres (40,230 ft) deep (SG-3 at Kola superdeep borehole).
The lowest human-sized point underground is 3.9 kilometres (2.4 mi)[1] below ground at the TauTona Mine, Carletonville, South Africa.
The lowest (from sea level) artificially made point with open sky, might be the Hambach open pit mine, Germany, 293 metres (961 ft) below sea level.
The lowest (from surface) artificially made point with open sky, might be the Bingham Canyon open pit mine, Salt Lake City, United States, 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) below surface level.
The lowest point underwater was the 10,680 metres (35,040 ft)-deep (as measured from the subsea wellhead) oil and gas well drilled on the Tiber Oil Field located in the Gulf of Mexico. The wellhead of this well was an additional 1,259 metres (4,131 ft) underwater for a total distance of 11,939 metres (39,170 ft) as measured from sea level.[2]28.736667°N 88.386944°W
Lowest point (natural)
The lowest known point is Challenger Deep, at the bottom of the Mariana Trench: 10,911 m (35,797 ft) below sea level.[3] Only three humans have reached the bottom of the trench: Jacques Piccard and US Navy Lieutenant Don Walsh in 1960 aboard Bathyscaphe Trieste and filmmaker James Cameron in 2012 aboard Deepsea Challenger.
The lowest point underground is more than 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) under surface. For example the altitude difference in the Voronya Cave between the entrance and the deepest explored point (its depth) is 2,191 ± 20 metres (7,188 ± 66 ft). The lowest point underground has not been explored.
The lowest point on land not covered by liquid water is the valley under Byrd Glacier, which reaches 9,120 feet (2,780 metres) below sea level. It is, however, covered by a thick layer of ice. See the extremes on Earth page. See list of places on land with elevations below sea level
The lowest point on dry land is the shore of the Dead Sea, shared by Israel and Jordan, 418 m (1,371 ft) below sea level. See List of places on land with elevations below sea level
The point closest to the Earth's centre (~6,353 km (3,948 mi)) is probably at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean (greatest depth 5,450 m (17,881 ft)) near the Geographic North Pole (the bottom of the Mariana Trench is near 6,370 km (3,958 mi) from the centre of the Earth).

On the article I referenced: I am not going to copy and paste the whole thing, it is quite long and the whole point of linking to it is to prevent huge posts. Please READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE, and it will explain to you why the claim you made (that has been made many, many times before) is not credible. Please, please read it. With an open mind?
