The article currently contains the following paragraph:
In the middle of the day at certain time of year the light which is in the shape of a phallus penetrates deep into the cave all the way to the alter.<ref name="Randolph"/> The light creates the phallus every day at noon, but it only reaches the alter on one day of the year.<ref name="Malcheva"/> There is an opening in the ceiling which allows the light into the cave. In February or March the light takes the shape of a phallus and enters a hole at the alter: the light then flickers for 1-2 minutes. The penetrating and flickering light is thought to symbolize fertilization.<ref name="Nicodia"/>
It seems to describe two different phenomena of sunlight entering the cave and illuminating the altar. But that's in fact one and the same event, right? Unless there is a single source that describes them both? – Uanfala (talk) 03:14, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
"...it is an extraordinary claim that a cave out there in the open, in the middle of a densely populated region of a country with developed speleological traditions, would have only been discovered in the 21st centrury".
The article says that the sunlight only causes the special phenomenon once a year, in February or March. But except on Winter and Summer solstice, the sun is in every point of its circuit twice a year. So the phenomenon must occur twice a year. Wis2fan ( talk) 04:09, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
