The Holy Spirit Grotto (La Gruta del Espíritu Santo in Spanish), also known as Corinto Cave, in Corinto, Morazán, El Salvador, is a registered national monument of petroglyphs. The cave is largely associated with the Xibalba legend. The archaeologist Wolfgang Haberland performed studies in the late 1970s indicating the art belongs to the pre-Classic stage of Mesoamerican civilization. The cave likely got its name due to the Mesoamerican association of caves with the underworld, meaning that they are "considered an entrance to the underground world governed by spirits and deities of death, disease, water, and fertility." The cave is an important cultural and religious site for the Lenca nation, forming part of their traditions and legends of the place where ancestors of Balam Colop parted (

  • Die Cueva del Espíritu Santo („Höhle des Heiligen Geistes“; auch als Cueva de Corinto bekannt) ist eine salvadorianische Höhle und Nationaldenkmal im Departamento Morazán in El Salvador. Die Höhle befindet sich auf einer Höhe von 839 Meter über dem Meeresspiegel in einer stark bewaldeten Vulkanlandschaft, zwei Kilometer nördlich vom Municipio entfernt. Sie ist etwa 60 Meter breit, 30 Meter hoch und 20 Meter tief und hat mehrere seitliche Kammern. Es gibt rund 200 Petroglyphen in der Höhle, die jeweils mit unterschiedlichen Farben ausgeführt wurden, darunter Rot, Ocker, Schwarz, Grün, Gelb und Weiß. Die Größe der einzelnen Felszeichnungen ist sehr unterschiedlich, einige der menschlichen Figuren sind bis zu 100 cm hoch, die meist kleineren dagegen nur etwa 30 cm. Allgemeine Symbole sind zwischen 4 und 50 cm in der Höhe. Die erste archäologische Forschung wurde 1926 durchgeführt. Man geht davon aus, dass die Höhle von rund 200 Personen bereits im 12. Jahrtausend v. Chr. bewohnt war. Der Hamburger Archäologe (* 1922) führte in den späten 1970er Jahren Studien zu den zahlreichen Petroglyphen durch und belegte, dass die Höhle zu der Besiedlung der Pre-Classic-Zeit der mesoamerikanischen Zivilisation gehört. Die Felsmalereien aus dieser Zeit belegen, dass Menschen bereits Stiefel aus Tierhaut und Fell besaßen und auch ihre Füße mit Leder und Fellstücken umwickelten. (de)

  • The Holy Spirit Grotto (La Gruta del Espíritu Santo in Spanish), also known as Corinto Cave, in Corinto, Morazán, El Salvador, is a registered national monument of petroglyphs. The cave is largely associated with the Xibalba legend. The archaeologist Wolfgang Haberland performed studies in the late 1970s indicating the art belongs to the pre-Classic stage of Mesoamerican civilization. The cave likely got its name due to the Mesoamerican association of caves with the underworld, meaning that they are "considered an entrance to the underground world governed by spirits and deities of death, disease, water, and fertility." The cave is an important cultural and religious site for the Lenca nation, forming part of their traditions and legends of the place where ancestors of Balam Colop parted (which is mentioned in the Popol vuh), according to their legends and traditions, is father of all Lenca people, given the association of caves with the underworld by Mesoamericans, the name of 'Holy Spirit Cave' is ironic and perhaps an attempt by early Spanish to "exorcise" the cave in El Salvador. The "holy" nature of this cave is further confirmed by a man named Don Argelio Alvarez, who happens to be one of its guardians. Roughly translated, he claims that the cave contains "something magical and inexplicable that inspires tranquility and peace." Many people from various religious groups also continue to visit the site and carry out ceremonies, such as what Don Argelio believed to have taken place in the cave many centuries ago. However, it is entirely possible that the cave was instead used for other means. A German scientist found some handcrafted arrows and knives made of obsidian within the cave, leading him to believe that it may have actually been a shelter for hunters instead. The cave itself is located in a heavily forested volcanic landscape two kilometers north of Corinto, and is approximately 60 meters wide, 30 meters in height, and 20 meters deep, with multiple chambers. There are around 200 pictographs within the cave, each of varying colors, including red, ochre, black, green, yellow, and white. The size of each painting varies greatly. Some of the human figures can be up to 100 cm in height, although most are only around 30 cm. General symbols ranged from 4 to 50 cm in height. To see a variety of images taken from the cave, please proceed to the referenced Bradshaw Foundation page. Due to its location in an area of archaeological and anthropological interest, there is a great desire to develop it as a cultural center. Two large holes can be seen in an overhanging cliff, which could possibly have been used for astrological purposes. There are also standing stones with cupules, as well as what could possibly be the remnants of an extinct lake or river system. An ancient Spanish road also traverses the outcrop, "leaving deep cartwheel parallel tracks, indicating travel and trade with Honduras to the north."The cave is 20 meters by 60 meters in size, with several different chambers, and 30 meters in height. This would be sufficient space to support the dwelling of 200 people at a ratio of about 60 square feet per person. (en)
