The original exploration of the caverns done by a group of four students from St. Mary’s University‚ Orion Knox Jr.‚ Preston Knodell‚ Al Brandt and Joe Cantu led to over a mile of underground caverns being discovered.

Another paleoproxy that I have found is speleothems‚ also known as cave rocks. Unlike glaciers and ice sheets that are exposed to erosion and weathering‚ speleothems are well preserved in caves. They contain climate data from thousands to millions of years ago and are dated by measuring how much uranium has decayed into thorium for each layer. For example‚ one of the world’s largest cave of speleothems is the Carlsbad Cavern in New Mexico‚ and it provides a record of precipitation for that general

Their arms‚ legs‚ and necks are tied to a rock so all they can see is a bare wall. Behind the prisoners is a fire that emits the shadows of statues onto the bare wall. However‚ the prisoners see the shadows on the wall as real objects because they have been there since birth. They think the shadows are the true forms because that is the only truth they
