Elongated Skulls in a Mayan Cave
Sac Uayum is a flooded sinkhole that strikes fear in the local villagers in southern Mexico. Sac Uayum is essentially a cenote that lies in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, which is itself located roughly 40 kilometers south of Merida.
The entire region can be found outside the ruins of the ancient city of Mayapa. A team of archaeologists, led by Bradley Russell, explored the cenote for two weeks before finding two connected chambers there that bore scattered skulls in them. In total, they found about 15 elongated skulls.
