The Great Sacrifice

66 million years ago, there was an enormous asteroid that crashed in the modern-day region of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. As a result, a megatsunami occurred that obliterated around 120 miles of the Earth’s surface. This caused a series of sinkholes that would later be worshipped and used by the Mayans. These sinkholes were believed to be sites of worship and used as a place to hold great sacrifices. Whether it’s sacrificing dead bodies or jewelry, people would throw them in the sinkholes in the hopes of blessing people with great fortune.

The Himalayas is a very mysterious place, and this is evidently true as it shows a stunning cave system with a multi-layered past.

After a lot of research, they’ve divided its past into three distinct periods – 1,000 B.C., the 10th Century, and the Middle Ages.
