Pete's Paradise Cave
Pete's Paradise Cave is a cave in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar. Explored in the 1960s and 1970s by a team led by George Palao, four skeletons have been unearthed in the cave, two of which were female skeletons with crushed skulls.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Neolithic Burials on the Rock )〕
==Description==
The cave is found sixteen metres below Queens Road. The entrance is a metre high and six metres wide and the floor on entry is made of earth. This was named ''Nun's chamber''. The next chamber is called ''Rimstone Chamber'' because of the rimstone pools which fall away at different levels. From here it is possible to crawl through a tight hole for eight metres to come out at what was called ''Pearl's Chamber'' because of the presence of ''Cave pearls''. These are formed around grains of sand and they become coated with calcium carbonate which can grow in time to be 3 cm in diameter. A moving body of water is required to keep these pearls turning whilst they form. The last, and described as the best, chamber is the ''Hall of Pillars''. This chamber contains another perfect rimstone. This is one of three in this cave and only one of three in the whole of Gibraltar.〔
