[Aztlan] Chichen Cenote

[Mary Hopkins]

The "Sacred Cenote" is not the water source for Chichen. There is another, 
cenote that serves that purpose. I did some faunal analysis from the 
Cenote -- have never been there. By all reports, the water is a. very hard 
to reach; b. heavily infused with bat guano from bats living in the walls 
(loads of bat bone). Therefore not a desirable water source.

No doubt others who have spent time there can comment better than I.
