Archeologists discovered 11 small stone temples in a cave complex in the Yucatan. They also found human remains, which may be a remnant of the bloody victims. According to scientists, the Maya believed that this place is the entrance to the underworld known as Xibalba.
According to the Popol Vuh epic written by the people of kitsch, Guatemalan Mayan descendants, the road to Xibalba was very dangerous. There was a great river full of scorpions, blood and pus and dark houses with flocks of bats. The souls of the dead were lead through this route by a mythical dog who could see in the dark.
