A rabbit hole in the UK conceals the entrance to an incredible cave complex linked to the mysterious Knights Templar.
New photos show the remarkable Caynton Caves network, which looks like something out of the movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The shadowy Knights Templar order is said to have used the caves.
The Sun reports that the caves are hidden beneath a farmers field in Shropshire. The site was visited by photographer Michael Scott after he saw a video of the caves online. I traipsed over a field to find it, but if you didnt know it was there you would just walk right past it, Scott said.
Once inside, Scott encountered arches, walkways, and carved niches. He described the caves as cramped, noting that anyone nearing six-feet tall has to bend down inside the complex. I had to crouch down and once I was in it was completely silent, he said. There were a few spiders in there but that was it. ..."
Said to be 700 years old, the caves have been long been linked to the Knights Templar a Catholic military order that played a key role during the Crusades. Named after Jerusalems Temple Mount, where the order was based, the order was founded in 1119 protect pilgrims visiting the Holy Land.

BONES of full fifty men lie *strewn* about its lair! So! Brave knights! If you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth...

The Holy Grail is considered the most sacred Christian relic, but does it actually exist?
From the knights of medieval legends to Indiana Jones, the holy grail has been the most sought-after Christian relic in popular culture for centuries. The grail is most commonly identified as the cup that Jesus drank from at the Last Supper and that Joseph of Arimathea used to collect Jesuss blood when he was crucified.
Given the importance of Jesuss crucifixion and the eucharist in Christian beliefs, the search for the grail became the holiest of quests as it signified the pursuit of union with God.

OMG. Stop, please...uncle...uncle!
Thankfully, the Knights Templar didn’t traipse.
Look! I remember rewinding that scene a dozen times after the first time I ever saw it. LOL
Bravely bold Sir Robin
Rode forth from Camelot
He was not afraid to die
Oh, brave Sir Robin
He was not at all afraid
To be killed in nasty ways
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin
He was not in the least bit scared
To be mashed into a pulp
Or to have his eyes gouged out
And his elbows broken
To have his kneecaps split
And his body burned away
And his limbs all hacked and mangled
Brave Sir Robin
His head smashed in
And his heart cut out
And his liver removed
And his bowels unplugged
And his nostrils raped
And his bottom burnt off
And his penis split and his...
Thats... thats enough music for now, lads.
Brave Sir Robin ran away
(No!)
Bravely ran away away
(I didnt!)
When danger reared its ugly head
He bravely turned his tail and fled
(No!)
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
(I didnt!)
And gallantly he chickened out
Bravely taking to his feet
(I never did!)
He beat a very brave retreat
(All lies!)
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin!
(I never!)
Surprised it took 25 posts before it got to that reference.
The rabbits were busy.
This video snip is priceless. My mini dachshund outside looks just like these, just the behinds showing, dirt flying and the occasional popup of the head with that doxie grin.
Doing what they were *meant* to do!
I love it b/c it fits the thread so nicely.
Doxies are so wonderful! I melt when I see those faces and ears. :)
