    I read, those may be related to a star constellation, may be some myths created about some celestial event long back in history.

      @Amin
      that also came to mind but then further in the Story it goes on with People founding them and build a house over them .

      there is chapelle in france which is connected with the dwellers of the cave it is visited by christians and muslims as well, in the summertime.

        It might be total fiction and merely folktale..
        But that's not the point, the point was PERSECUTION.
        -Do not persecute people based on anything.
        -Do not let your hatred towards certain group of people prevent you from being just. (a.k.a Bias Judgement)

            Yes Jaffar, when cultural practices that become meaningless due to time and change of environment and being forced upon people, people at large shift gradually to a new religion/culture with spread of messages brought by one or more enlightened people among the group. Jewism, Christianity, Islam and other Indian religions the stories tell how their groups were being prosecuted by the other predominant group and their own Gods or prophets destroyed/overcome the other to bring in goodness and their festivities revolve around these. Those stories could be fictious or exaggerated with time.

              whenever a human being is controlled by a THING/TOOL ..
              whenever a human being is forced to do something ..
              whenever a human being is challenged...
              whenever a human being is degrade...

              possible outcomes.. he will try to take revenge or try to make his position visible on the matter...

              things get more complicated when religious authorities come in action..

              example just a simple ignorance case...
              a women/man is beaten in public hundred lashes.. (law of God).

              what he/she feels i m not talking about either they proved zani or not... but what this punishment results will be specially for the victims...

              victims get close to eachother becoz the truth of life is a production of sex... they were doing the same thing what was installed in the system... system maker installed a fault in human and then himslef decide a punishment of that fault.. this will leave that victim feel unfair about everything...

              example NOKIA 8310 was a faulty handset.. whoever got that got a signal dropping technical issue in it..
              customers suffered from loss, who is to punish the handset or the maufacturer?

              we are faulty we know it.. but we are also responsible for the fault we have ... CURSE to creation..

                  @ jaffar
                  ur points are valid i watched a similar video ages ago about maximillion a powerful figure who go against the most powerful man of times and the. other people start following him.

                  its a limit to everything also that limit apply to human nature although fear of death is there but at one point not that fear even work and thats the time when human being called rebellious according to society when he dnt care about death these brave people usually turns out as HEROS of present but villians( as per society) of past abraham is one example.

                  these cave stories and all other stories are all versions of telling kids wrong and right and to make them prepare for next stories

                  i watched a movie ?buntaku? ages ago in which a mysterious bartender comes in bad town ruled by a fella called nicola the woodcutter most poweful man east of the atlantic eveybody was in fear from that boss and his gang and that mysterious staranger scrath theor empire out and in the end wiodcutter asked him whois he and he told him you killed my father once and i m his son who told you to remember one thing ? there is always somebody more poweful than you? so he turns out as hero people said him ur father was legend once , basically that woodcutter killed people bu cheating and even he cheated again but this time his time was over ?

                  there are lot if heros and lot of villians everytime and we see heroes always have an upper side tbh they themsleves can afford it but they do it for yhe sake of people to make them understand the truth so thats y they called hero

                  even in forum we have some heros like jaffar jk bro

                    behind every tale is a true Story and you miss the fact that they build a Building over them and thats a hint to search for .If you look in which countrys the People are doing this in the past see also the seven a sign to find.

                      i have heard that Marrakesch the city in Morrocco is protected by yeven Saints and in the south they visited every year a Zaouia where probably is another candidate for the seven sleepers of the cave.

                            BOLD interesting to know

                            may b conqurer like halaku khan destroyed that building
                            same like he destroyed a fake paradise created by people of tallaqan(iran).
                            with the help of that paradise they use to kill the prominent figures of society and the HITMAN enjoys a week in that paradise as a reward. rotfl

                                Here's the new link to the video
                                https//youtu.be/rxalPmS0pJw

                                The Synopsis Mid 3rd Century
                                Roman society was in trouble, drought, famine, foreign raid / invasion.
                                A religious (we now calls it "Right Wing&quot emperor grab power, his name is Decius.
                                Decius claimed that all of the trouble was caused by grievous sins of Roman society.
                                The sins was because the Romans has forsaken their religion.
                                The Roman Gods thus gets angry and cause all of the above trouble to the society.

                                The solution is for all Romans to repent and start honoring the religion and the gods.
                                Decius thus enforce strict measures to enforce Roman religion to all populace within his empire.
                                Among those are a minority named "Christians".
                                The Christians refused to honor Roman gods or perform Roman religion rituals as they think that those gods are actually "the evil ones" / "false gods".
                                Decius thus sees the christians as among the cause for the wrath of the gods to the empire.
                                Decius issues an order to persecute (torture / murder) the christians who refused to convert and/or pay honor to the gods.

                                A Roman version of "Inquisition" (ironically) performed by Christians many centuries later...

                                Giving a political background for the story / legend of the Cave Dwellers...

                                @ jaffar
                                ur points are valid i watched a similar video ages ago about maximillion a powerful figure who go against the most powerful man of times and the. other people start following him.

                                The Christians during Decius era is also among the example...

                                Dogmatism does relies on FEAR.
                                Without it the dogma will never succeed as it actually doesn't make sense at all.

                                these cave stories and all other stories are all versions of telling kids wrong and right and to make them prepare for next stories

                                there are lot if heros and lot of villians everytime and we see heroes always have an upper side tbh they themsleves can afford it but they do it for yhe sake of people to make them understand the truth so thats y they called hero

                                As narrated above, the hero (Christians) does turn to become villain once they grabbed power many centuries later..
                                Power tends to corrupt and absolute power will corrupt absolutely.
                                And absolute faith corrupts as absolutely as absolute power.

                                And no I'm not a hero, but you or anybody else can if you dare to face the risk due to siding with your own conscience.

                                  i find it interesting to have found a vers About dogs and it seems like Christians nowadays who stick to the scripture dont have dogs ,thats what i have noticed.

                                  Isaiah 574 "Whom are you mocking? At whom do you sneer and stick out your tounge? Are you not a brood of rebels, the offspring of liars?"

                                  if someone with credebility in this field can explain what the vers is About that would help cause i cant proof if the translation is right and it is not talking about dogs.

                                  And i have the Impression that the whole middle east dont like dogs at all ,thats why i look instead to the west where a whole Nation its tribute goes to a dog.
