The end of the article speaks of the "mass killing" of 6 people by beheading right before the close of the cave...

Considering it happened during Roman times...I'll venture a guess it was Roman Soldiers making an example of any rebelling chieftains. Hence the place was memorialized and never used again, since the Romans would have basically tainted it.

Just my 2 cents THANKS for sharing!!!!
