MAYAN WARFARE: Caracol vs. its Enemies | Cahal Pech and the Cave of the Dead
In the heart of the Chiquibul forest in Belize lies the ruins of the ancient city of Caracol. David and Cassie will show you some of the more interesting parts of the fascinating Maya site. Also in this episode they explore the archaeological site of Cahal Pech near San Ignacio and the mysterious Barton Creek Cave reserve. They take a dip in the waters of Big Rock Falls too. Meanwhile, Professor Miano explains different types of Mayan warfare.
We hope you enjoy watching this #antiquitiestravelguide about #Caracol, Cahal Pech, and Barton Creek Cave as much as we enjoyed making it.
