I pressed my fingers upon the calyxes, even as Larry had within the Moon Chamber. A crack horizontal, four feet wide appeared on the wall; widened, and as the sinking slab that made it dropped to the level of our eyes, we looked through a hundred-feet-long rift in the living rock! The stone fell steadily and we saw that it was a Cyclopean wedge set within the slit of the passageway.
