cenote canoe

[edit]

https://todayuknews.com/science/archaeology-rare-1100-year-old-maya-canoe-found-submerged-in-a-freshwater-pool-in-southern-mexico/ Significant enough to mention? 199.127.133.181 (talk) 16:42, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

While news articles claim the "canoe" was found near Chichen Itza, the cenote where it was discovered appears to be some distance away (closer to Ek Balam, for example). In my view, this info isn't relevant to Chichen. But it seems to me there should be somwehere on Wikepedia where it would be relevant. CoyoteMan31 (talk) 01:08, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Revert explanation

[edit]

I've reverted some edits related to recent news stories (livescience, one example of many) about DNA analysis of boys sacrificed in a "chultun" or pit chamber at Chichen Itza, as some well intentioned editors seem to have confused it with the Sacred Cenote, or incorrectly stated it was some other cenote, which it is not. Human sacrifice at Chichen Itza over the centuries seems to have taken different forms and in different places. -- Infrogmation (talk) 02:29, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll move and rewrite this to better reflect the published articles written by the scientists involved. As my coding for sources usually is wrong, I'd appreciate if you'd take a look after I'm done. CoyoteMan31 (talk) 15:13, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
