-Cave Art and the Origin of Speeches:
A visit to the famous prehistoric caves in France and Spain made me realize that the drawing process was probably just as important for our human and protohominid ancestors. The dimly lit cave interiors and the heroic sizes of superb realistic animals drawn with perspective and sensitivity were truly awe-inspiring. Many caves have recognizable, but crude, portraits of ibex, reindeer, bears, horses, mammoths, and mastodons. But the grand caves of Altamira, Lascaux, and Chauvet have animal portraits with rounded perspective and subtle colors worthy of Delacroix or Rubens, despite the archaic lineage of the artists. In these caves, Cro-Magnons, gradually supplanting the more primitive Neanderthal species, created beautiful and realistic drawings and paintings of the animals they hunted.

New Animal Species Found in Calif. Caves By JULIANA BARBASSA, Associated Press Writer
Wed Jan 18, 5:53 PM ET
SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK, Calif. - Twenty-seven previously unknown species of spiders, centipedes, scorpion-like creatures and other animals have been discovered in the dark, damp caves beneath two national parks in the Sierra Nevada, biologists say.
"Not only are these animals new to science, but they're adapted to very specific environments — some of them, to a single room in one cave," said Joel Despain, a cave specialist who helped explore 30 of the 238 known caves in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.
The discoveries included a relative of the pill bug so translucent that its internal organs are visible, particularly its long, bright yellow liver. There was also a daddy long legs with jaws bigger than its body, and a tiny fluorescent orange spider.
"Many people will be looking at these trying to find where they fit in the tree of life," said Darrell Ubick, a cave biologist with the San Francisco-based California Academy of Sciences.
While it is extremely rare to find new mammal or bird species on the surface, caves still hold an abundance of secrets. Like the deep sea, they are often difficult to reach and seldom explored.
Discovering so many species was thrilling, said Jean Krejca, a consulting biologist with Austin, Texas-based Zara Environmental who helped lead the three-year exploration. The findings were released Tuesday.
"You get the feeling you're Lewis and Clark, charting undiscovered territory," she said. "Caves are one of the last frontiers."
Park officials plan to adopt measures to protect the caves, Despain said. Most of them are not accessible to the public, and can be visited only by researchers or experienced explorers with permits.
The species have yet to be named, described scientifically and placed in the continuum of known living organisms.
"We don't know how long they live, what kind of habitat they prefer, how many offspring they have, or how sensitive they are to human disturbance," Krejca said. "There's still so much to learn."

-The God in the Cave:
-The Sacred Cave of Zeus:
Both Gaia and Uranus foretold Cronos that he would be dethroned by his own son. To avoid this sad fate, he used to swallow his children at birth. This bizarre behaviour, however, enraged his wife Rhea 1, who being pregnant with Zeus, went to Crete and gave him birth in a cave of Dicte.
-The Beast in the Cave-By HP Lovecraft:
-A Cave-God's Holy Stage:
-Cult of the Black Demeter:
“Mount Elaios [in Arkadia] … has a cave sacred to Demeter surnamed Black. The Phigalians accept the account of the people of Thelpousa about the mating of Poseidon and Demeter, but they assert that Demeter gave birth, not to a horse but to Despoine, as the Arkadians call her. Afterwards, they say, angry with Poseidon and grieved at the rape of Persephone, she put on black apparel and shut herself up in this cavern for a long time. But when the fruits of the earth were perishing, and the human race dying yet more through famine, no god, it seemed, knew where Demeter was hiding, until Pan, they say, visited Arkadia.. Roaming from mountain to mountain as he hunted, he came at last to Mount Elaios and spied Demeter, the state she was in and the clothes she wore. So Zeus learnt this from Pan, and sent the Moirai to Demeter, who listened to the Moirai and laid aside her wrath, moderating her grief as well.” -Pausanias 8.42.1
"Concerning the water of the Styx in Arkadia he [Hephaestion] recounts the following: while Demeter was mourning for her daughter, Poseidon intruded on her sorrow and she in anger metamorphosed into a mare; she arrived at a fountain in this form and detesting it she made the water black." - Ptolemy Hephaestion Bk3 (as summarized in Photius, Myriobiblon 190)

-Mithraism, it's Influence on Christianity:
-The Savior in the Cave:
In this respect also, the history of Jesus Christ corresponds with that of other Sun-gods and Saviors, for they are nearly all represented as being born in a cave or dungeon. This is the dark abode from which the wandering Sun starts in the morning (Cox, Aryan Mythology, vol.i. p. 153). "As the Dawn springs fully armed from the forehead of the cloven Sky, so the eye first discerns the blue of heaven, as the first faint arch of light is seen in the East. This arch is the cave in which the infant is nourished until he reaches his full strength; in other words, until the day is fully come."

Passage Into the Underworld:
A cave is a place of mystery, a rift in the earth that gives passage to the underworld. A few steps into a cave and you are on your own for light and for direction. Caves are where bears spend the winter and bats the daylight hours.
In Plato's cave, perhaps the most famous image in classical philosophy, shadowy figures project mere hints of outer reality to observers chained inside. In ancient literature, Aeneas entered the Sibyl's cave to learn his destiny. Dante's cave gave entry to his inferno-Abandon All Hope, the sign above its entry warns.
Mark Twain knew the lure of a complex, twisting cave above the Mississippi: "No man knew the cave; that was an impossible thing. Most of the young men knew a portion of it, and it was not customary to venture beyond the known portion. Tom Sawyer knew as much of the cave as anyone." Caves make for great stories.
The Bible has its caves -- a home for Lot, a burial place for Abraham and Sarah, a hideout for David and for Obadiah's 100 prophets. St. Jerome lived in the cave of Bethlehem while translating the Bible into Latin and producing his commentaries. Jesuit tradition owes a great debt to a cave in Manresa, Spain, where Ignatius Loyola spent the better part of a year fighting demons and learning God's ways. Here he produced the first parts of what became the Spiritual Exercises.
