On a recent visit to the beautiful countries of Belize and Guatemala, I learned that the Mayans were serious about their "ball game," so much so that it was a life-or-death competition as well as a "complex ritual based on religious beliefs."
Belize's Actun Tunichil Muknal (Cave of the Crystal Sepulchre), or ATM, is a true gem and archeologist's dream.
Now I understand why "Ghost Hunters International" Season 3, dedicated its ninth episode to feature "The Crystal Maiden: Belize and France" and evaluated the ghost stories behind the "Mysterious Maiden."
