An ancient Mayan pyramid that has fascinated explorers since its discovery by Spanish conquistadors in the 1500s continues to reveal its secrets.

Experts have discovered a secret passageway that they believe leads to an underground water-filled cave, or cenote, at the Temple of Kukulkan in Mexico's Chichen Itza.

Researchers hope the blocked-off secret passageway will reveal the 'sacred geography' of the site along with new details about the Mayans ancient beliefs.

I saw on Ancient Aliens today that the builders of temples and pyramids would create shafts as a way to buffer the waves from earthquakes.

Didn't realize that the Mayans and Aztecs lived so close to each other.

Would be interesting to find out where the passage goes.
