What Caused This Circular Hole?

Here is more on the Mayan civilization from wikipedia

Classic period rule was centred around the concept of the “divine king”, who acted as a mediator between mortals and the supernatural realm. Kingship was patrilineal, and power would normally pass to the eldest son. A prospective king was also expected to be a successful war leader. Maya politics was dominated by a closed system of patronage, although the exact political make-up of a kingdom varied from city-state to city-state. By the Late Classic, the aristocracy had greatly increased, resulting in the corresponding reduction in the exclusive power of the divine king. The Maya civilization developed highly sophisticated art forms, and the Maya created art using both perishable and non-perishable materials, including wood, jade, obsidian, ceramics, sculpted stone monuments, stucco, and finely painted murals.

Commenter Rice a Roni makes an extremely astutue observation:

I find it kind of interesting that the hole is 3140 feet in circumference. You often times associate 3.14 with anything to do with circles. I’m sure its just a coincidence just interesting to me.

Is there something to it?  We hope you enjoyed watching the video.

    A sink hole IN the ocean… Does anyone else see a problem with that? If a sink whole formed before it was under water ($#%&!@*uming it ever was) it would have filled with sediment by now. So, an explosion from man or meteor is the only logical choice. Sink holes can only be caused by a removal of water causing a hydraulic unbalance in loose soil from water drainage…water drainage does not occur…under water.
