As one enters the cave, it feels as though the caves are trying to swallow you, making you part of the splendid formations on display.
Some people experience claustrophobia as they venture deeper into the caves.
It's only when your eyes adjust to the carefully place artificial lighting and start to take in the treasures surrounding you, that you forget your own existence and marvel in what must be one of the great natural wonders of our world. You cannot but help think about the people who first discovered the wonders of these caves - how enchanted they must have been to have stumbled upon God's secret treasure chest. Some of these paintings are still preserved for the world to see. Ancient man could not proceed too far into the cave because of the absence of light - natural or artificial. As the years rolled on, more chambers were discovered and each chamber was given a name - either named after its discoverer, or given a name to describe the immediate impression the explorers got when entering the chamber.
