在墨西哥的尤卡坦半岛上,这片丛林隐藏着在人类三千年史上堪称世界上最伟大的古文明之一,玛雅人建立了城市、庙宇和宫殿,其繁荣的景象我们至今不得而知,留下了许多未解之谜。玛雅人曾拥有成千上万分散落丛林里的小池塘,我们称之为天然井,玛雅人认为天然井通向另一个世界,那是地下世界的入口,难道地下世界只是个传说吗?现代探险家们有了许多非凡的发现,彻底改变了我们对尤卡坦半岛的认识……
Unlike other great civilizations such as the Romans and the Ancient Egyptians, the Mayan empire did not arise from the banks of a mighty river.
Much of the Mayan world is in fact devoid of even the smallest river or lake. Then why did they populate Yucatan? The Maya believed that the freshwater pools, ‘cenotes’, dotted across the area were sacred portals to the underworld.
They are indeed portals, but rather to an incredible underground labyrinthine systems of rivers. Only now being properly explored and understood, this secret world was created by nature in a unique chain of dramatic events.
Underneath the jungle-clad Mayan temples of Yucatan lies a world even more mysterious, even more incredible than the Maya could have ever imagined.
A whole food chain has been found in the cenotes deepest recesses — over 20 species that have never seen the light of day. Some of the underground caverns are not totally full of water… incredibly, they are home to thousands of bats.
