The Aluniș Cave Church in Buzau (Athos of Romania) is more than 700 years old and is one of the mystical caves carved in stone. The cave churches and settlements of Buzau are surrounded by legends and myths and have become a famous place for paranormal and esoteric fans.
Alunis cave complex consists of the church, two cells dug into the rock, and another 5 undated (3 Unfinished), one covered by rocks and another one on the hill for guarding.
Dacians, aliens, pyramids, energy or magnetic centers, magic?
According to the locals and some researchers, certain sites are believed to have functioned as sanctuaries for the Dacians.
Legend has it that the Aluniș Cave Church was dug into the rock by two shepherds, Vlad and Simion, who kept their sheep in these places. It is said that one of the shepherds heard during his sleep a voice urging him to dig into the rock because he will find the icon of the Virgin Mary. Faithful man, the shepherd did just that and found the icon. This fact caused him to dig the church room, together with the other shepherd, and with the help of the villagers.
There are numerous legends and stories that continue beyond this point. Some of these tales involve aliens, pyramids, energy or magnetic centers, magic, and malevolent forces.
