can easily get Google to automatically translate
Danish to English for you. It's a machine
translation, of course, but in this case it's mostly pretty readable.

In 2001, I was on a project to "open a wall in a
Maya cave to discover the secrets that were

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.

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