The discovery also highlights the fact that the world&#8217;s longest cave system is a <strong>network of 200 small caves<\/strong> connected underwater.

Human bones, pottery, and the embedded artifacts on the wall of the caves have been spotted in the various caves and the archeologists believe that they might help in understanding the Mayan Civilization in a better way. The divers also believe that the cave system could be connected to 2 or 3 more caves nearby, and the quest is on for that!
