Another article that appeared thanks to the thoughts of wakeuphuman. The beauty and mystery of the caves. In some, intricate labyrinths, in others - huge stalactites, in the third - high vaults. There are also legends about the secrets associated with many of these dungeons. But no one has ever thought about the origin of the caves in the rocky massifs. How could nature form such long corridors, huge chambers in hard, non-sedimentary rocks? Geology has only one answer - water erosion, faults, mountain building. And if you look at them from the height of the topic of mines, ore mining, the development of veins, for example, with metals? How do you think: that all caves that are not located in sedimentary rocks are underground workings. I suggest at the beginning to look at some of the famous caves, and then compare them with the old abandoned mines.

Bats Cave. Altai In this cave, bats are robbed - sharp-eared moths, for which it got its name. The length of the cave is about 90 meters. Bone deposits were found here, containing the remains of Pleistocene mammals. And also traces of the site of a primitive man of the Paleolithic period, the Stone Age were found during excavations. Those. these caves are antediluvian. The cave is not yet accessible for tourists, as research is still being carried out in it.

Denisova cave

Denisova Cave is a monument of history and archeology. Located in the Soloneshensky District of the Altai Territory. The cave is located on the right side of the Anuy river valley, 4 km from the Black Anuy village and 40 km from the regional center of Soloneshnoye, Altai Territory. Height above sea level 670 m, above the current level of the river - 28 m. The cave is horizontal type, with a wide entrance, located close to the water. The cave got its name from the name of the hermit Dionysius, who lived here in the second half of the 18th century. Coordinates: 51 ° 23'51.29 ″ s. sh. 84 ° 40'34.34 in. etc.

In the cave, excavations are underway in such layers. Those. and she is antediluvian. Such layers of soil (clay, stones) could only be brought by mudflows.

These are obviously mudslides and the water stood here for a very long time. The outer sedimentary layers of the flood outside the cave could have been washed away later by the outgoing water.

The vaults are already covered with sediment

Tavdinskie caves

Explicitly carved passages in the rock mass. Erosion doesn't work that way.

Okladnikov's cave

It is named after the famous archaeologist Alexei Pavlovich Okladnikov, who explored this cave in the 70s of the 20th century. The cave is located on the southwestern outskirts of the village of Sibiryachikha, Soloneshensky District, Altai Territory, on the left bank of the Sibirka River (anuy tributary).

Maybe it's a mined ore vein

Orebody mining? How could erosion work like this in rock?

Ignatievskaya cave

Ignatievskaya Cave is a large limestone cave on the banks of the Sim River near the village of Serpievka, Chelyabinsk Region. Ignatievskaya cave got its modern name after the elder Ignat, who, according to legend, lived in the cave in the 19th century. The height and width of the cave is about 12 m. The entrance is located at a height of about 10 m above the river …

Cave entrance

Examples with such entrances to caves, similar to entrances to mines, can be continued in hundreds. If you compare these caves with photographs of underground uranium mines, they will look the same. If we compare the internal structure of all (such as natural) caves and underground mines 19-20 centuries. - they will be the same too. In some mines, metal and wooden supports have been preserved in some places inside. But if everything decays, there is no difference. Absolutely identical objects. Examples of mines:

The adits of the Kharbeysky mine near Vorkuta. 67 ° 14'32 "N 66 ° 10'3" E

The tree will rot and the entrance to the mine will turn into a cave.

If we remove the metal and wooden props in this uranium mine, we get Denisov's cave. Metal and wood rot inside the mines and you get a cave! The mines are given personal names and become caves.

Here are the analogies. Or will skeptics again argue that everything on this planet was created by nature? Have we been developing subsoil on a large scale only for the last 100 years? I wonder if there is any data on the presence of any ore or metal remains in the caves? Has anyone done such research?
