On ancient trails - Geological Garden of Tata

in Worldmappin3 years ago (edited)

In my previous post (https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@fairyberry/on-ancient-trails-tata-castle-surrounded-by-waters-english-garden) I described the Tata Castle and the artifical ruins of English Garden. Later on Friday evening we camped in the Geological Garden of Tata, where our friend, Zoltán the park guide talked late into the night about his expedition to Ecuador and the "Tayos" cave system (Google: Tayos, Juan Moricz) there. Zoltán was there as a geologist investigating the rocks, clarifying the truth and falsity of certain theories.

There are many tales about the secrets of the Tayos cave system, about ancient metal libraries or giants and dwarves that live there. Supposedly the history of the Earth was saved by a previous civilisation, which, if it were to be made public now, mankind would have nothing to do with it. Indeed, it may contain knowledge that could be easily misused.
Almost 100% of what can be found on the internet about Tayos caves and "golden tablets" found there is bullshit laced with vulgar esotericism.

A Hungarian writer wrote a 3-volume adventure book series about it (Golden Lady Trilogy by Agnes Golenya Purisaca), and the stories of Indiana Jones movies are also connected to it (I believe the character of Indiana Jones is based on Juan Moricz (Móricz János), the Hungarian who discovered the cave.)

I spent the night outside a small wooden house, like most of the others. At dawn it was very cold, I was freezing.
We woke up early, had breakfast and at 8 am Zoltan showed us around the park, showing us the traces of different geological phenomena. To an expert eye, the rock layers look like the pages of a huge book. Each page can be hundreds of thousands or millions of years thick.

Well, let's go back to 10-20-50-100 million years earlier!
