New Evidence About the Mayan Mysterious “Blue Crater” Suggests…

 The team used a variety if research techniques to gather more evidence on how or what happened in the area at that time!  They also had special access to the crater as most teams would not be allowed to access it:
The team drilled cores from the Blue Hole sinkhole and a nearby lagoon. They found that the ratio of titanium to aluminum changed in the ninth and 10th centuries, a period when the Mayan civilization in the Yucatan Peninsula went into decline. More titanium means that heavier rains were affecting the region, since the runoff from the area’s volcanic rock is rich in the element.
They make a solid case that this could be the reason for their fade during that time.  Do you agree with their assessment?
Check out the following video if you like and you may be able to form a stronger opinion either way.

    More rain or more volcanic activity?
