Rabbit hole leads to incredible 700-year-old Knights Templar cave complex
Fox News ^ | Mar 2017

A rabbit hole in the UK conceals the entrance to an incredible cave complex linked to the mysterious Knights Templar.

New photos show the remarkable Caynton Caves network, which looks like something out of the movie “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.” The shadowy Knights Templar order is said to have used the caves.

The Sun reports that the caves are hidden beneath a farmer’s field in Shropshire. The site was visited by photographer Michael Scott after he saw a video of the caves online. “I traipsed over a field to find it, but if you didn’t know it was there you would just walk right past it,” Scott said.

Once inside, Scott encountered arches, walkways, and carved niches. He described the caves as cramped, noting that anyone nearing six-feet tall has to bend down inside the complex. “I had to crouch down and once I was in it was completely silent,” he said. “There were a few spiders in there but that was it. ..."

Said to be 700 years old, the caves have been long been linked to the Knights Templar – a Catholic military order that played a key role during the Crusades. Named after Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, where the order was based, the order was founded in 1119 protect pilgrims visiting the Holy Land.

Just joking. Somebody found it centuries ago and it’s all gone.

I agree. They are interesting in their own right. The title and coverage is a bit over the top, but the caves and their origins are still an interesting topic. Thanks for posting it.

I have probably heard or seen this reference hundreds (if not thousands) of times in my life, and it never fails to bring a smile to my face.

I know those guys are generally a bunch of liberal weenies, but I love their work!

Even as I read it, I can see John Cleese as “Tim” making motions with curved fingers near his mouth as he says it...grinning as I write this...:)

Funny-for years, I never saw the movie, but I had “The Album of The Sountrack of The Trailer of The Film of Monty Python and The Holy Grail”...I listened to it a lot when I was in the Navy back in the Seventies...then when I finally saw the movie years later, it was odd, because there were things on the album not in the film, and my mind kept trying to interject those things!
