Prehistoric people liked tunnels too, for more reasons than I have time to write about.
Some monuments, passage tombs and tunnels were built at an angle so the sun would shine directly into them on certain days, like the solstice/equinox. For prehistoric people that light at the end of tunnel symbolised the end of the harshness of winter and that warmth and spring would soon be on the way, bringing the growth of plants and baby animals. So pretty much, the light at the end of the tunnel literally meant life, a new beginning. Just one example.
