The Ancient Native American Found 2.5 Miles Inside Mammoth Cave — And The Mystery Of Why His People Went So Deep Underground
It records more about what happened inside it than almost any other archaeological site in North America records about the people who used it.

The metal straps that the CCC workers used in 1935 when they attempted to lift or move it during the recovery process are still attached to it, a twentieth-century addition to a piece of limestone that had been accumulating there since the cave’s formation.
The ledge is still elevated above the cave floor.
