A hoax from User:Ethicalhacker and IP User:67.113.48.197 ? Are they the same? Should this be deleted? --Wetman 19:13, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

This article has shaped up excellently. I owe you all thanks and withdraw my skepticism. --Wetman 08:46, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Not a Hoax

Just wanted to let you know, this is not a hoax. The cave is real and anyone in Ecuador can tell you about it. The legend is pretty spectacular, which is why a Lore section has been added.

Hoax - Yes, and No

The various myths about this cave were definitively debunked by the very expedition quoted in some of the "supporting" websites - the 1976 British expedition. The cave does exist, Neil Armstrong was actually there, but the exotic claims of a metallic library, altars, artificial tunnels etc were completely disproved. See Red Rose Cave and Pothole Club Journal No 7 (1977) or Caving International No 1 (1978). This article needs to be rewritten on a more factual basis, making clear which are the facts and which are the myths. Right now it is difficult to tell. Ian mckenzie 00:26, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Revisions Welcomed

Thanks for bringing disputed statements to light. If anyone is intersted in sorting out fact from fiction and has conclusive evidence that can be referenced, I welcome any edits that shift debunked statements in the main body of this article into a subcategory of the Lore section, hopefully with a clear explaination how the controversy arose, etc... Thanks again. --67.113.49.74 16:27, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

• Done. Ian mckenzie 19:18, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
• Awesome. Thank you. Ethicalhacker 22:18, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Relocation

I have reorganized the Redirects so that this cave appears under its proper name, Cueva de los Tayos. Ian mckenzie 21:41, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
