The Mystery Of The Mayan Underworld | The Lost Civilization and The Spiritual Underwater Cavern.
The word “underworld” makes people shudder, and we immediately imagine darkness and mystery. For the Maya it was a “hidden place,” the “Xibalbá”, which you could access through the cenotes and descend into its depths until you reach the great network of underground rivers that course beneath the Peninsula. They identified not one god of the underworld, but several!
The tunnel was sealed off centuries ago by the Maya, but archaeologists plan to clear it in order to reach a hidden "cenote" -- an underwater cavern that was central to Mayan spirituality.
