Do be careful! Stay aware of your tides, too.hmmm said:Thanks for your concern, i have been crawling into these caves since i was a kid, i dont relay like tight spaces so i don't go for it, you are correct about the sacred caves, the two with the faces in them are placed on each side of a mountain, they are shamons caves. there are hundreds of others and only a hand full appear to be live in caves.TheNewCatfish said:I'm no expert of course, but I like to read about anthropology.. and i've been reading about it a long time. Frankly I'm a little hesitant to mention this, because I don't want you to go too far too fast into this cave on your own and get yourself killed. But I'll share what I know and let the chips fall where they may.
In primitive cultures caves were not used exclusively as living space. Sometimes a particular cave was viewed as a "gateway" to the unseen, supernatural world. These were mystical places where only shaman were admitted entry. The entrance of such a cave would have been covered in magic symbols and warnings against entry by the uninitiated. This appears to be what you discovered.
However impressive the entrance, it's only the tip of the iceberg. Deep within the cave, there would be other symbols and pictures held even MORE sacred by these people. Deeper = more spiritual. Perhaps their view of creation or whatever they regarded as worthy of their worship. In these inner chambers, shaman would have conducted secret rituals and rites. Perhaps travelling from there into the very "spirit" world itself. Awesome, Huh ?
Have you found any caves, that have water inside them, rising or lowering with the tides?
Have fun, good luck, and keep us updated!
