In particular‚ Plato’s Allegory of the Cave can be interpreted to be talking about the educational system.

Another paleoproxy that I have found is speleothems‚ also known as cave rocks. Unlike glaciers and ice sheets that are exposed to erosion and weathering‚ speleothems are well preserved in caves. They contain climate data from thousands to millions of years ago and are dated by measuring how much uranium has decayed into thorium for each layer. For example‚ one of the world’s largest cave of speleothems is the Carlsbad Cavern in New Mexico‚ and it provides a record of precipitation for that general

Waitomo caves‚ in the central North Island of New Zealand‚ consist of a 45 km network of underground limestone caves.

The limestone is a fossil rock that is made up of the shells and skeletons of dead marine animals. The shells and skeletons of millions of dead marine animals were broken down by the sea into tiny particles which slowly rested on the seabed. Over time
