New entrance to Mayan underworld
Aug. 17 - Maya-hunters find a new system of caves and underground temples in Mexico's Yucatan peninsula.
Different Mayan groups who inhabited southern Mexico and northern Guatemala and Belize had their own entrances to the underworld which archeologists have discovered at other sites, almost always in cave systems buried deep in the jungle.
Benet Allen reports.
SOUNDBITE: Guillermo De Anda, University Of The Yucatan Archeologist, speaking in Spanish with English translation:
"As in all Mayan caves, this one contains archeological material that can provide us with a lot of information about Cenote culture and the caves in general. This place is an important place because we have found two very elaborate temples built here inside the cave which are very difficult to get to."
