Cave Divers Explore An Ancient Yucatán Cave Over 10,000 Years Old In Tulum, Mexico EP. 5 - Chan Hol

Chan Hol is a cenote and underwater cave that’s part of the larger Toh Ha cave system in Quintana Roo, Mexico. This cave isn’t just a stunning dive site—it’s also historically important. Several prehistoric human remains have been discovered here, making it a site of great interest to archaeologists and paleoanthropologists. Along with famous finds like Naia and the Eve of Naharon, the discoveries at Chan Hol are part of a group of ancient human skeletons found in the submerged caves around Tulum in the Yucatán Peninsula. The name Chan Hol comes from the Mayan language and means “little hole.” The cave system stretches for over 5 kilometers (more than 16,000 feet) and is accessed through a cenote located about 15 km from Tulum and roughly 11.5 km from today’s coastline. During the Late Pleistocene, sea levels were more than 100 meters lower than they are now, meaning this entire cave system was once dry. At that time, the Yucatán region likely looked very different, made up of open savanna, grasslands, and even desert-like landscapes. ‪@TarzanIstann‬ Please like, comment, share, and subscribe! #cave #caveexploration #archeology #cavediving #archeological #yucatán #yucatanmexico #tulum #mexico #yucatancenotes #yucatanpeninsula #exploration #divingadventures #cavediver #extremediving #yucatanpeninsula
