That’s an insane find, but merely reading about wading through water inside a cave with only a 15cm air pocket between the surface and the ceiling is giving me claustrophobia.

I wonder what those fertility rituals entailed…

Just gonna say it: That image immediately makes me think they found ancient Mexican dildos.
