More
extensive
evidence
of
ancient
occupation
can be
found in
the
nearly
100
pictographs
adoming
the cave's
walls
and
ceiling.
Both
real and
mythological
people
and
animals
are
depicted
in rich
ochre,
yellow
and
black
pigments.
There
are also
vast
numbers
of
shells
in the
sedimentary
rock and
littering
the cave
floor,
some of
which
may be
part of
middles-the
garbage
refuse
of
prehistoric
cave
dwellers.
Some
of the
stalactite
formations
are also
of
special
interested
here as
they
bend
radically
towards
the
light of
the main
cave
entrance.
There
are
actually
three
openings
to this
great
chamber,
the
highest
of which
offers
an
unspoiled
view of
the
mangroves,
limestone
crags
and sea
that has
changed
little
since
the time
this was
home, or
a
ceremonial
site,
for
ancient
seafaring
people.
