Nothing, at first glance, unremarkable rabbit holes in one of the fields of the English city of Shropshire turned out to be the entrance to the secret underground temple of the Order of the Poor Knights of Christ. Historians estimate that the Templars used these caves seven centuries ago.
The dungeon carved out of sandstone is hidden at a depth of one meter. It is crafted very skillfully: there are beautiful arches, a whole network of passages and paths, columns and stairs, as well as a rounded vault. The temple of representatives of the spiritual knightly order, which became famous in the crusades, is perfectly preserved.
Scientists believe that after the Templars, the guardians of the Holy Grail, the caves could have been used by pagans, druids and various sectarians. In this place, it was possible to safely carry out any religious rituals without fear of being discovered.
Researchers are surprised that people walking on the surface for many centuries did not even suspect that this man-made miracle was hidden a meter away from them.
Human bones, pottery, torches and ornaments were found in the temple.
