Maya 'Blood Cave' Rituals Uncovered

Archaeologists just found hundreds of chopped-up skulls and bones in a Guatemalan cave, and it’s wild—these weren’t just burials. The Maya apparently sacrificed people (or just their body parts!) to ask their rain god for a good harvest. Some skulls were even stacked like trophies. The cave, called Cueva de Sangre, was only accessible during the dry season, which lines up with ancient rituals for rain. Creepy, fascinating, and totally mind-blowing! #MayaHistory #Archaeology #AncientMysteries #RitualSacrifice #HistoryNerd #Science
