Meaningful

But in reality, these markings did have a meaning. They were not on the wall without any reason. Hayley and Ed finally had figured out. There were about hundreds of individual letters carved on the cover. Along with all those characters, there were two letters that stood out for the duo. It was VV. 

Virgin Of Virgins

Hayley and Ed did not take long to unravel the mystery of these letters. They were sure that the letters were used to represent an important phrase. According to them, “V V” meant “Virgin of Virgins.” It is a prayer recited to persuade Mary of Nazareth to protect people from evil power.

Many More Signs

That was not the only carving that was etched with “V V,” there were many others too. Each and every carver the researchers got their hands on had these annotations on it. Ed and Hayley excitedly showed their discovery to the tour group. Heritage Facilitator, John Charlesworth who happened to be their guide had never felt so astonished before.      

Back To Work

The man immediately informed Creswell Heritage Trust and invited experts to take a look and inspect the symbols. The team of expert sprung to action at once and began searching caves’ each and every part. They crouched down to the lowest part of the cave, lifted themselves up to the roof of the cave so that no detail could be missed. They found many inscriptions.      

Repeated Signs

Experts found Maze patterns, boxes, and crosses repeatedly just like “VV.” There was no doubt that these markings and messages had a big role in tricking and trapping evil forces.  

Solving It Out

The mystery of these markings and signs were finally solved. But there was one more thing that baffled researchers. There was a giant red flag too. These depictions clearly conveyed the fear of the settlers. The big question was what were they fearful of? It seemed that a dark force had made them desperate enough to resort to carving symbols on walls for help from almighty.
