Mysterious underwater caves in Mexico are millions of years old.
About 66 million years ago, a 15-kilometer-diameter meteor strikeed Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, reportedly wiping out almost all dinosaurs. The collision caused tidal waves, melted billions of tons of rock and caused a giant crater 200 kilometres to the earth's surface, gradually leaking into the earth's surface, penetrating limestone layers and forming thousands of deep craters.
For thousands of years, some of these pits have collapsed, others have eroded in the area, and a vast network of submerged caves has been formed.
The Mayanpeople relied on these natural aquifers of groundwater, known as 'Cynoti', as an indispensable source of water, and were also of spiritual importance, as they believed that they were sacred entrances to communicate with the gods of rain and creation, and therefore they repeatedly threw offerings, gold plates and utensils. The latest is filled with jade ornaments in the depths of this network of caves and wells.
Several years ago, divers discovered one of the oldest human skeletons found in modern times, and scientists have inferred on the ways in which humans have settled in the Americas. Last year, it was discovered that the cave containing this skeleton was only a small part of the world's longest 348-kilometre cave network called Sistimema Sak Aton. A team of divers, photographers and archaeologists planned to explore dozens of caves and undiscovered wells on the Riviera Maya coast, to take pictures of this network of caves from the inside and turn them into 3D videos and images, so that people can experience exploring caves through reality techniques. default in their homes.
The project, called Wonderland, involves snorkeling with head lamps to enter the deepest routes and caves that the public has never been allowed to enter and photograph.
The footage will be posted online to allow anyone in the world with a device equipped with 3D image display ing techniques to view caves through virtual reality goggles and discover the mysteries of ancient Mayan civilization, such as fossils, bones and even antiquities.
Pamela Ocampo, a Mexican photographer and team member, captures high-definition digital images of caves and underwater paths despite the difficulty of controlling the lighting. The images are processed using special programmes to produce realistic scenes of the network of caves and limestone rocks with 3D taqiym.
