Discovered in the Jordan Valley, Israel, as part of an ongoing archaeological survey since 1978, excavators from the University of Haifa have uncovered the largest artificial underground cave ever built in Israel.
Prof. Adam Zertal, lead excavator told The Epoch Times, “We came across an opening in the ground, then came two Bedouins, a father and son, who warned us not to go down, saying there was some kind of curse on the cave and some predators [wolves and hyenas] below.
When entering, they found no wolves or hyenas but a grand expansive underground structure supported by 22 pillars, each decorated with various symbols.
“Anyway, we went down, it was about ten metres deep below the surface and that was the beginning. First we saw the magnificent size of the place.
