Talk:Utroba Cave

The sunlight phenomenon
The article currently contains the following paragraph:

It seems to describe two different phenomena of sunlight entering the cave and illuminating the altar. But that's in fact one and the same event, right? Unless there is a single source that describes them both? – Uanfala (talk) 03:14, 21 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello, and thank you for your help editing. Regarding your removal of 2001, you have presented no evidence that the reference is incorrect, and in your edit summary you are making an assumption that it must have been discovered. "...it is an extraordinary claim that a cave out there in the open, in the middle of a densely populated region of a country with developed speleological traditions, would have only been discovered in the 21st centrury".
 * I feel like we have to follow the RS. I think this cave is like any other archeological discovery - people might stumble around it not knowing what it is, but when someone identifies it as an archeological site it is studied and the examination begins at that time.

 * Thank you for creating this article though – I'm delighted to see such interesting topics being promoted to DYK. As for the claim about the cave being discovered in 2001, if that refers specifically to the first realisation of its archaeological significance – then yes, this is plausible. But to say that the cave itself was discovered that year – when all indications are that it was known to people before that – then we'd need a good source. A tourism website is not a good enough source for such a claim. – Uanfala (talk) 14:14, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Sunlight phenomenon II
The article says that the sunlight only causes the special phenomenon once a year, in February or March. But except on Winter and Summer solstice, the sun is in every point of its circuit twice a year. So the phenomenon must occur twice a year. Wis2fan (talk) 04:09, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
