ANCIENT LABYRINTH - YUCATAN REGION OF MEXICO

In a spiritual trip to the Yucatan, our Host Hunbutz Men took our group to a set of caverns, "Lol-Tun". At the end of one of the caves there was a huge open area with a high hill. Walking to the top of the hill, giving offerings, the cave revealed this etched picture of a Labyrinth on a subterranean hill carved in stone.

He also reveals that there existed Mayan temples, places of initiation, where subterranean pathways were cut out of interior temples that required the initiate to walk in darkness and complete a course, which may have included scorpions, poisonous snakes, and if they returned out after the ordeal, they became enlightened Shaman. This seems reminiscent of another story, sans Heroine, from Greek Mythology, about the Minotaur.
