Group of divers in Mexico have unveiled an answer to a decade old question after investing on the cave the pique their interest because of its weirdness in all every aspect. Scientis Bandi Macdonald and his whole team have been exploring intricate caverns for a while now.

When they decided to take a look on what lies beyond the cave near Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, Macdonald’s team was beyond lost.

According to The Boredom Therapy, “Humans must have once frequented the area. This confused the researchers because the caves seemed inaccessible without scuba equipment. “Over the years, we have seen these anomalous weird things within caves that we couldn’t quite explain,” Samuel Meacham, study co-author said.”

“[We saw] rocks out of place, rocks stacked on top of each other, things that just didn’t seem natural. But we didn’t have a really good explanation,” Samuel said.

After several investigations and a lot of research, the team finally came up to an idea.

“When the divers were exploring the Quintana Roo caves, they collected samples and took thousands of images for researchers, helping them piece together a lengthy mystery. From about 21,500 until about 13,000 to 8,000 years ago, parts of these cave systems were completely dry.” TBT explained.

“Getting to the caves would have been difficult, even if they were outside of the waterline. To reach them, indigenous peoples would have had to navigate the complete darkness of the passages.” it added.

What could be the reason of the ancient people risking their life just to go inside such dark and claustrophobic area?

Apparently, the answer was a little unexpected.

“Thanks to the partnership, MacDonald’s team determined that the ancient Americans used the sites as mines. By firelight, they ventured into the spaces to gather a valuable mineral: red ochre.” TBT continued.

“Red ochre is a rich red stone that was used by Indigenous peoples as an antiseptic, sunscreen, material for tanning hides, pigment for body and cave painting, and for other ritualistic and symbolic purposes. ”

After years of mystery and endless hypotheses, the mystery behind the cave of Yacatan Peninsula is finally solved!
