[Texascavers] TV show featuring a cave with Maya wall ??

2011-04-26 Thread Mixon Bill
The AMCS has received the following query about a cave with an ancient  
Maya wall that was featured in a (Russian, I assume) TV show. I have  
replied that I have no idea which cave that might have been, and I  
included a PDF attachment of the article on Balancanche from AMCS  
Activites Newsletter 27 (2004), which is probably the most famous  
example of a cave with a wall behind which archaeologists found a lot  
of neat stuff. If anybody can help Vacheslav about the TV program,  
please do. I don't know whether the movie was made just for Russian TV  
or was something imported that you might have seen over here. I have  
seen no such video, but then I don't even have a TV.

Hello! I have a question about the Mayan archeology. In the mid 90's.  
I watched an interesting TV show. In it a group of people studied  
karst systems in the Yucatan. In the most profound and far from the  
surface of the cave they found a small, stuffy stones input (such as  
having the right kind of masonry), supposedly leading to the lower  
world (or sanctuary) Maya. This entry is supposed walled Mayan priests  
to keep out [of] a sacred space aliens (such as Spanish) when they  
invaded their land. Log razmurovyvat did not. On this TV show has  
ended. Information about this entry, I never found it. If you know  
something, please tell us: what was this cave and to actually lead  
this entry? Thank you in advance.

to me how everything works. That's when I wake up.

In 2001, I was on a project to open a wall in a Maya cave to discover the 
secrets that were hidden behind it that was chronicled by Danish TV and 
newspaper through the DK Explorer.  Unfortunately, we were not able to get 
permission from the village to enter the cave.  It added lots of drama as we 
negotiated with the village to get in. That whole fiasco was an adventure and 
story in itself.

You can find a little more information at http://templehunter.dk/photo.htm if 
you scroll down to Ekspeditionen i 2001.  I hope your Danish is good but you 
can see some photos there and might even recognize some Texas cavers. The rest 
of the website (http://templehunter.dk/) chronicles the adventures of the great 
Danish explorer Christian Christianson who travels to Guatemala in search of 
temples and caves.  Christian is mostly a legend in his own mind but he does 
have a website and managed to come up with some money for us to work with for a 
while. There may be some information archived in DK Explorer website but having 
knowledge of Danish would help.
