It depends on the cave. Most inland caves where these bodies are found lack moisture. Water and moisture is a breeding ground for bacteria and micro-organisms that cause bodies to rot. These caves are also either extremely hot or extremely cold. these causes the water within the bodies to either freeze, like the Altai Lady at Ukok, near the Russian/Chinese border, or to dry out, like the Ancient Egyptian pharaohs. Others, like limestone caves, actually encase the bodies in the moisture that forms stalactites and stalagmites, and preserves the body that way.
