Maya ritual cave ‘untouched’ for 1,000 years

[Still Waters]

Archaeologists hunting for a sacred well beneath the ancient Maya city of Chichén Itzáon Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula have accidentally discovered a trove of more than 150 ritual objects—untouched for more than a thousand years—in a series of cave chambers that may hold clues to the rise and fall of the ancient Maya. The discovery of the cave system, known as Balamku or “Jaguar God,” was announced by Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) in a press conference held today in Mexico City.
