Archeologists have found around 200 Mayan ancient rarities in Mexico that seem to have been immaculate for a long time.
The curios were found inside a collapse remains of the old Mayan city of Chichen Itza on Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History declared the revelation amid a question and answer session in Mexico City.
The lead analyst on the task is Mexican prehistorian Guillermo de Anda. He considered the cavern a "logical fortune." He said the ancient rarities seem to go back to around A.D. 1000. "What we found there was staggering, and totally immaculate," he included.
The discoveries included bone pieces and copied offering materials. What's more, incense burners, vases, plates and different items were found. A few things incorporated the similarity of Tlaloc, the downpour lord of focal Mexico. The Mayans additionally had their very own downpour god, called Chaac. Be that as it may, specialists trust the Mayans may have imported Tlaloc from other pre-Hispanic societies.
The cavern where the items were found is a piece of a cavern framework known as Balamku or "Panther God." The cavern is around three kilometers east of the primary pyramid of Kukulkan, which sits at the focal point of Chichen Itza. The stone city is depicted by the United Nations as "one of the best Mayan focuses of the Yucatán Peninsula."
The cavern sits around 24 meters underground, with zones associated by entries. De Anda said a portion of the sections were narrow to the point that analysts needed to creep in or pull themselves through.
He included that his group had so far investigated around 460 meters of the cavern, and is uncertain how far it extends. The group intends to keep investigating the cavern. Antiques found won't be expelled, however contemplated inside, he said.
The group inadvertently found the ancient rarities while investigating Chichen Itza with an end goal to study its underground water framework. A progression of sinkhole lakes, known as cenotes, can be seen on parts of the surface. However, the archeologists are investigating other water locales beneath pyramids, sanctuaries and different structures.
Water was constantly integral to the city. Its name in Maya signifies "at the mouth of the well of the Water Wizards."
The cavern had been found by neighborhood individuals 50 years back, yet was not completely investigated, de Anda said. He trusts the new revelation will enable researchers to all the more likely comprehend the history, lives and convictions of individuals who lived in Chichen Itza. He said archeologists accept there might be another unfamiliar cavern covered up under the pyramid of Kukulkan that could be associated with the most recent find.
"How about we trust this leads us there," de Anda said. "That is a piece of the motivation behind why we are entering these locales, to discover an association with the cenote under the (Kukulkan)."
