According to experts, all the bones had traces of stab wounds that were inflicted in the process of sacrifice.

The bones, discovered in a cave Belize, belonged to the people of the Mayan civilization. They inhabited the vast American continent in the period from 2500 to 1500 years BC. The descendants of the Mayans live in these regions to this day. Despite the huge heritage, much of the information about this civilization is irretrievably lost.
