Former Texas-based caver Aaron Addison knows a lot about this cave and in a 
recent discussion on Facebook said that it’s being resurveyed. I’ve included 
Aaron in this email.

[Reddell, James R]

Did they mention the treasure the aliens left when they made the cave?

James Cokendolpher and I described a new genus and species of troglobitic
Schizomida (Tayos ashmolei) from the cave.

Interesting article about “the world’s most mysterious cave”: 
. The 
article mentions cavers needing to get both permission from the locals and the 
blessing of the cave itself, a scenario familiar to recent Huautla cavers. The 
cave appears to be huge, but surprisingly a geologist was quoted saying that it 
was only 25,000 – 30,000 years old. Also of note was that the recent visitors 
rappelled in, but were hauled out by the locals—up a 200-foot drop!

[Texascavers] Cueva de los Tayos

[Mark Minton]

Interesting article about "the world's most mysterious cave":
.
The article mentions cavers needing to get both permission from the locals
and the blessing of the cave itself, a scenario familiar to recent Huautla
cavers. The cave appears to be huge, but surprisingly a geologist was quoted
saying that it was only 25,000 - 30,000 years old. Also of note was that the
recent visitors rappelled in, but were hauled out by the locals-up a
200-foot drop!
