Prometheus – A cave that looks like Aliens, originally uploaded by Mic2006.
Today we busted open a tunnel in cave that we had thus far called the Void, it was somewhat nondescript, but Martin Davis said that he had seen a small passage when he visited the area 30 years ago. Well after exploring a nearby shaft on cable ladder (video on that later in the week) we went over to the void and began digging where we thought the water must go down.
We worked on clearing a plug of leaves and sticks. After about an hour the front digging wall fell away and the floor started collapsing and there in front of us was a passage that was fantastically ribbed – as Greg said, it reminded him of the trailer for that new movie Prometheus. So we have decided to rename the cave Prometheus, and of all coincidences, I got home to learn that my son was hoping to take me to that movie next weekend – obviously the cave was destined to be named this. If I recall correctly, was Prometheus not the Greek hero who bought fire to man and for his efforts had his liver torn out by an eagle?
Anyway Jeff has a theory that this is a feeder passage to the main tunnel that we are yet to unearth. I think there is a possibility that this is possible. I have been trying to determine from my picture of the scallops which way the water was running. I recall last weekend I copuld hear water rumbling away beneath the rocks in an area that was quite different from where we dug to open this passage.
Hopefully within a day or two I will have some video up on the initial opening of Prometheus, and maybe some video of aliens – actually no – I’m gonna sell those to News of the World.
Hi Mick, FYI, Here’s the links to ‘Prometheus’ Wikipedia, and that new movie trailer too. Greg

Looks interesting – yiour suggestion of the name – good one. Had to work late so no time to get the video on – might have to work late tomorrow to.
Hi Mick, Have you seen this take on the movie ‘Prometheus’ you might find it interesting?
I have heard from other reliable sources that there is good science that shows that GMO food can cause the effects described in mice!!!
For more on GMO food try ‘seed of deception’ or ‘Genetic Roulette’ books and info video at,

It makes me think twice about eating anymore of the GMO pop-corn at the movies, for starters!
Awesome work, looking forward to further exploration.
Just curious though, what’s the size of the passage? There’s no scale reference in the photo.
A tight squeeze at this point, but beyond it opens. We are still truying to decipher options for getting past this spot
