Scripture says nothing about John baptizing in a cave nor that there was any footwashing/annointing before nor after a baptism.
Perhaps this is a forerunner of the catacombs.
That makes more sense, alongside the scriptures.

In Catholic Baptism there is an annointing after the Baptism.

" Scripture says nothing about John baptizing in a cave nor that there was any footwashing/annointing before nor after a baptism." Then again it's logical that John's baptism was an extention of the existing practices of Jewish baptism (Yes, Jews did and do have "baptism," as a ritual cleansing, though the term "baptism" is avoided).

With people like this, Scripture isn't as important as the story they can sell now. It will be sold as John the Baptist's cave and before you know it, people will be merchandising it as if it were something major. Idiots revere the creation more than the creator and are too spiritually dumb to realize it or care.
