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.

I'm walking down the street with Leonardo da Vinci. He says, "Yes, the
things your science has created are indeed wonderful. You must explain
to me how everything works." That's when I wake up.
