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.
