Surfacing the truth
Far beneath the Maya ruins and jungle covering Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, biologist and underwater archaeologist Arturo González has struggled through flooded labyrinths to recover evidence humans lived in the region before the end of the last Ice Age sent sea levels rising, inundating the caves.
"It’s a great treasure and it’s my passion to get there and discover them, and be able to interpret them in order to share a new understanding of the history of humanity.”
His commitment to bringing the truth to the surface is yielding new insights into prehistoric life.
