在Tulum山洞发现的8 000年的埋尸骨架表明在北美洲早期的仪式做法和人的存在。 A 8,000-year-old buried skeleton found in a Tulum cave suggests early ritual practices and human presence in North America.

考古学家Octavio del Río和墨西哥国家人类学和历史研究所指出, 在墨西哥Tulum附近的一个洪泛洞穴深处发现的史前骨架很可能是八千多年前当洞穴干燥时故意埋藏的。 A prehistoric skeleton discovered deep in a flooded cave near Tulum, Mexico, was likely intentionally buried over 8,000 years ago when the cave was dry, according to archaeologist Octavio del Río and Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History. 发现在表层下方26英尺,从入口处656英尺的沉积物沙丘上发现,遗骸建议进行仪式性掩埋。 Found 26 feet below the surface and 656 feet from the entrance on a sediment dune, the remains suggest ritual burial. 这一发现增加了早期在北美有人类存在的证据,附近一些遗骸可追溯到13 000年前。 The discovery adds to evidence of early human presence in North America, with some nearby remains dating to 13,000 years ago. 现在受到像玛雅火车这样的发展威胁的洞穴系统将在2026年成为国家保护区。 The cave system, now threatened by development like the Maya Train, is set to become a national protected area by 2026.
