Ayalon Cave

Sealed off from the outside world for millions of years, the Ayalon Cave is a large underground limestone cave located near Ramla, Israel, discovered in April 2006. The cave, 300 feet deep, extends almost 2.5 kilometres making it the second largest limestone cave in Israel. Eight new species, all without eyes, including four scorpion like crustacean species and four terrestrial species, previously unknown to science were discoverd. This is the only movie ever taken inside the cave showing white and blind prehistoric crustaceans swimming in the pool.
