Mysterious findings inside an underground cave in Mexico shed some light on ancient Maya rituals. Dozens of black and red handprints cover the walls of the cave, and they are believed to be associated with a coming-of-age ritual of the ancient Maya. The handprints are mostly made by children, and they date back more than 1,200 years when Maya's advanced culture was at its zenith. According to archaeologists, colors have meaning. The black colour symbolized death; however, it didn't mean that the children were going to be killed but rather died from a ritual perspective. The colour red referred to war or life when children went out and came in contact with the rest of society safely. The cave is located near the northern tip of the Yucatan peninsula that houses the popular archaeological tourist site, Chichen Itza.

It was high summer. The sun was extremely hot. Two travelers were going along a dusty road that had no trees along its sides. Looking for some shelter from the hot sun, they saw a tree with big leaves and branches spread like an umbrella. They placed their belongings on the ground and sat in the cool thick shade of the tree. After taking some rest, one traveler said to the other, "What a useless tree it is! It bears no fruits at all." Hearing this, the tree felt pinched and burst out, "You ungrateful soul! On one hand, you are taking shelter in my cool shade from the burning heat of the sun and on the other hand, you are calling me useless. Get up and leave the place immediately to be scorched again."
