Hmm...yes.

The purpose of the structure is unknown, and various theories have dated its construction to any time in the past 3,000 years. Theories include: it was an 18th or 19th-century rich man’s folly; it was a prehistoric astronomical calendar; it is connected with the Knights Templar; it is connected with Freemasonry; it was built by the Phoenicians; it was created by Pythagoreans/Oriental Kabalists; it was a funerary building built by Ancient Cretans; it is linked to a Mexican civilisation of that lived about 12,000 years ago…and so it goes on.

Even more to the point!
Attached to the grotto is a museum, gift shop, and cafe.

Considering (it helps when you do this) (with everything) the sheer size and complexity of this, suggesting the idea that somebody managed to carry it out, in complete secrecy, for the purpose of creating a "hook" for a gift shop is beyond contemptible disingenuity.

People like you give idiots a bad name.
