Eileithyia Cave, Crete, Greece. A cult from the Stone Age to today.

Описание: In Crete (Greece) we visit Eileithyia Cave, which has been a sacred cave since the Neolithic. At the entrance to this cave grows an old fig tree. In ancient times, figs and fig trees had rich symbolism. The same in traditional cultures. We talk about it.
In the second part of the film, wandering around the cave, we show what it looks like today.
