When was caving invented?

Caving, or spelunking, is not something that was invented but rather has been practiced for thousands of years by individuals exploring natural caves for various reasons, such as shelter, resources, or religious purposes. The modern sport of caving as a recreational activity started to gain popularity in the late 19th century and has evolved since then with advancements in equipment and techniques.


What is the name of a person who explores caves?

A CAVER - as simple as that, throughout the English-speaking caving world. Someone who studies caves and their contents scientifically is a Speleologist - though he or she is still a caver because you have to be able to negotiate caves in order to study them!


What parts of the mummy were filled with rags?

Mostly, the space where the entrails had been removed. Sometimes, the nose (to prevent it from caving in) and the eye sockets - later, glass eyes were sometimes used to fill the cavities -to prevent the eyelids from caving in.


Where can you find crystal caves?

I assume you mean caves well decorated with stalagmites etc. They are in most limestone caving areas but if you want to visit them either take up caving properly - for both your safety and to learn to protect the caves you visit - or visit show-caves.


What is it called when you explore caves?

Caving - as simple as that. If the trip is genuine exploration, i.e. by the cave's discoverers as they find it, then we will use the word "explore", but it is used loosely as after all, if you have never previously visited the cave it is your personal exploration of it. It is NEVER called "spelunking" - that's a US-only word that was coined legitimately by a group of cavers for themselves, but later became a slang term of derision aimed at novices and dilettantes!
