Prehistoric American Skull Found in Sea Cave



Divers carefully place a marker near a human skull found upside down in a large underwater cave near the Caribbean Sea on Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula in 2007.

Based on the skull's location, the team believes the remains ended up there about 10,000 years ago—just before the then dry cave was inundated as sea level began rising. If confirmed, that age would make the skull one of the oldest known remains of an early American, or Paleo-Indian.

Though the skull was found alongside bones of a mastodon and other prehistoric animals in 2007, news of the find was released only late last month, to allow time to properly document the site, train the divers in archaeological practices, and coordinate with authorities.

The divers had previously seen Ice Age animal remains in surrounding caves, but the human skull was a surprise. "That's one of the beauties of exploration—you never know what you're going to find," diver Alberto Nava said.

Now comes the tricky part. "We want to figure out the story of Hoyo Negro and how the human and animal remains got there," said Nave, of the Projecto Espeleológico de Tulum (PET) organization and Global Underwater Explorers (GUE).

During the 2007 expedition, divers descend into Hoyo Negro—"black hole" in Spanish.

"The name comes from the black holes in space," Nava explained. "When we first entered the place, it was just pitch black everywhere. We almost felt like it was absorbing our light.

"I think most people think of caves as something scary," he added.

"For us, it's a beautiful place. The caves are wide and decorated with stalactites. And the water is so crystal clear that when you look at your hand or your equipment, it looks like you're floating in air."

4 years to release the news that they found a skull? Sounds like they tried covering it up as long as they could.

This is further support for Graham Hancock's view.

I agree. I think Graham Hancock has the best theory. He doesn't really talk about UFO's but he doesn't exclude them as a possibility either. I think his work is the most important work done in this field.

People that normally would have no interest in this subject can read his books without being turned off by "aliens" or other supernatural things.

He presents very real evidence that I wish the scientific community would take more seriously.

The problem with the "Lost Civilization" is that the evidence is so subtle. There are so many small pieces that you must put together before the puzzle starts to make sense. It takes hours of research to even scratch the surface so most people will never open their eyes to the fact that we aren't the first advanced civilization.

Friends, you have NO IDEA of the thiefs and hunters that exist out there ....they come in, take everything they can and destroy the «sites». Underwater sites are impossible to keep secure, so secret is the only way to work. Take from me, I 'm an historian/arqueologist.
