The Royston Cave

There’s something intriguing about caves with a historical architecture or background, which is exactly the case for The Royston Cave in South East England. It forms a man-made structure that looks similar to a dome and dates back to the Middle Ages. Its location might be obvious, but its backstory remains a mystery. Another cave covered in markings, they’ve been linked to Pagan and religious roots. While this remains a theory, both historians and researchers suspect the cave to be once occupied by the Knights Templar, and others believe it to hold clues for the Holy Grail.

We’ve learned about critters who’ve made the most inhabitable caves underground, however, this isn’t just limited to deep caves but also for those above the ground. The Panxian Cave in China’s mountainous region continues to be a place where scientists look for answers. Researchers have also stumbled upon samples of both rhinos and stegodons, which are classified as ancient relatives of elephants. While this isn’t exactly the species that come to mind when venturing caverns, if there’s a central theme to cave discoveries, it’s the mystery that comes along with it.
