Belize is famous for it's Great Blue Hole. A near perfect circle far off the coast, but did you know that it has another sinkhole, one that is even more mysterious, it's called the Black Hole.
This cave was used for Mayan Sacrifice about 1000 years ago, and together with a small band of explorers we push into it's depths to find a treasure... A Crystal Skull.
Big love to Ian Anderson's Caves Branch Adventure Lodge for all the help putting this together. You can visit this cave too! Contact them here:

Absolutely stunning. A civilization of over a thousand years ago had a sacrificial altar that seems to be frozen in time. To think as well that they only had torches to light their path. Seeing this makes one sit back and just ponder.

Once of the most amazing places I've ever been to with the howler monkeys in the trees, lost temples still under the growth, and of course the famous jade faces!

Another excellent video and adventure, Mike. Another of my favorites of yours! From the ant-eating at the beginning, to rappelling down into the sinkhole, to venturing deep into the caves for one of the coolest adventures I've ever seen on KZread, this is an instant Fearless & Far classic. You finding the broken pottery and obsidian blade was already cool enough, but seeing you come across the crystal skull blew my mind. Incredible, man. 🐉🔥
DEFINITELY not as exciting or as dangerous as your awesome adventure, but in the 60's I went to a privately owned cave in Missouri. You climbed through a small hole, down a handmade old wood ladder into a cave that had been used for a 1700's Native Am burial site. Sticking out of the calcified walls was a calcified child. In a sitting position, it's hair, head, face, and 1 knee were still protruding and even the eyelashes were calcified. We were not allowed to take any pictures, but that memory has stayed vivid in my mind for 57 years.

I love watching all his videos, when comes to adventuring in different places or cultures, us people we didnt know he was so open minded and respectful. By far this man is actually educating me with stuff I really didn’t know. Big props to you man, thank you for showing everyone all your experiences when it comes to being a traveler.
That was epic a dive into geological history and the history of Mayans . Caves have always been places of fear and reverence for many ancient cultures and even today they still capture the imagination. Human sacrifice was practiced all over the ancient world, some of the sacrificial victims were sometimes set apart from the rest of the community and treated like royalty before the time came .👍
as a film student i highly appriciate the perfect choice of the music on the descent to the pit or even at times in the cave. i it so mysterious and adventurous, it makes you think something otherwordly is really happening there. it helps to tell the story better. i love it i really do
What an amazing video! I love how respectful you are to everything and everyone around you. I would love to see these kinds of videos showing the hidden gems of Europe, there is plenty! Love it!
Cave explorations are a delight to watch on any given day, good content and addictive to watch 💚

You finding the child skull came at the perfect time. I'm studying forensics and I'm currently working through anthropology. I just saw an infant skull and had to identify it's characteristics, and it looked very similar to that.
Man all of those guys were LEGENDS! What a fun trip. I hope you can do more with them someday in the future! I'm old enough to remember when Discovery Channel was good. You, my friend, are better than they ever were in every way. Your editing of this is incredible! As I think you have said in the past, other channels are not competition, there is room for everyone.

It's happened to all most every civilization throughout history. One nation pounders the other. Also more recently, meaning early documented exploration up until now, archeologists who work with the government of both places also acquires things. Many go to the places that allowed the exploration and the sponsors. So they get dispersed and or put up in storage.
