Summary:
Located in the Yucatan Penninsula, there is believed to be a passage to what may be a Mayan underworld. Inside these caves and natural formations, there were lots of treasure found in these ancient pyramids. So far research shows that before the collapse of the pyramid, the structure, which was constructed inside the cave, might have been eight meters high and it was probably a worship place for the Maya underworld related to death.
Thoughts on the article:
I believe this artcile is fascinating. There are not many times you are able to go back into the past and experience what is was like to be in a place like that. The Mayan temples were a work of art and in my opinion it is a piece of art that should be able to be explored. I would love to be able to go visit these places sometime in my lifetime.
How the article ties into Culture:
This article ties into culture very well. The Mayan temples are a part of Mexico's history which means it is a very important part of who they are and how they live their life. Not only that, but the Mayan temples are considered to be beautiful works of art, which also plays a huge role in culture. Many of the residents in Mexico show this history as a part of who they are.
