This is the fourth human skeleton discovered in flooded caves in the state of Quintana Roo.

The reason why scientists take a long time to put the skeleton on the ground is because the place has a lot of stalagmites, the entrance is very complicated, submerged and very dark.

The skeleton, called "Chan Hol Youth" , of a young person, can be buried at the end of The Canh Tan (from the present day 2.58 million years to 11,550 years), when the sea level is low. more than 150m compared to today.

Currently 60% of the skeleton, including limbs, spine, ribs, skulls and some teeth have been restored. However, it will take several months for new scientists to determine the gender, age, cause of death and age at death.

Archaeologists claim this skeleton is an important key to reinforce the hypothesis of the first inhabitants to the Americas.
