↓ Prehistoric bas relief of a warrior.
(I'm not sure I can see him either, but he dates from 2200 to 2500 BC.) ↓

↓ Inside the cavern. Archeological research started in 1959.
(A cavern is distinct from a cave in that, once inside, you can't see any natural light.
Here they have electric lighting.) ↓

↓ “Grand Canyon Room” ↓

↓ Looking straight up at bats in a nest, ↓

↓ Smooth floor (it had ripple marks, but the photo isn't focused enough to see them).
Rivers of water wash through this cave regularly in the rainy season. ↓

↓ Formations ↓

↓ More formations ↓

↓ Light on the vines coming down through yet another hole in the roof. ↓

↓ Actually it was a pair of holes in the roof. ↓

↓ A hand.
There is more prehistoric artwork in this cave that is not open for public viewing yet. ↓

↓ On the right, see the trees growing down into the cavern’s collapsed roof. ↓

↓ This is our exit with another tree dropping it's roots down. A Banyan tree, I think the guide said. ↓

↓ A coffee tree perhaps? (Growing in the thicket along the path to the parking lot.) ↓

Next, Friday mid-day spent in the town of Acanceh.
