There were steamy hot springs contained by stone baths carved with detailed depictions of beetles, spiders and ants. Water was falling from a floral carved opening high up above and splashing into a clear pool. The giant man lit a torch and placed it in a carved granite stand. Thousands of tiny shiny stones were clinging to the natural walls of the cave and sparkling in the torchlight. Scout looked up at a domed ceiling decorated with mosaic tiles. “It’s a spider,” he said. “It’s a giant spider on her web."
