- What is the oldest a still extant cave on Earth could be?
- What conditions could encourage the longevity of a cave?
It seems that the oldest known caves, the Jenolan Caves in Australia, formed in the Carboniferous period.
How plausible would a cave from the Ordovician or even Precambrian be, considering that not even continents are stable over these time periods?
If these caves were designed, excavated, and reinforced back then by another civilization with modern technology, could they be engineered to last longer?
