History Channel - Journey to the Center of the World: Sacred Cave of the Maya

In August, 2006, I was part of a team to explore the bottom of Naj Tunich Cave, one of the most important Mayan ceremonial sites in Central America. We were investigating whether or not the Maya had explored beyond a deep pit more than a mile into the cave. The resulting exploration, discovery, and rescue is fully documented in this feature.

The show premiered August 10, 2007. Click here to See Preview. Now available from the History Channel Store. Click Here to Buy.
