You mean the weather was different 13000 years ago?

They claim the ice caps melted dramatically which can't be. SUVs weren't invented for another 12,950 years.

......Another good reason not to underwater cave.......

I’m pretty sure that the extensive cave systems that underlie Maya Land are being explored in detail and the discovery is the result.

My favorite,the adventurer Richard Halliburton, dove scubaless into such a surface opening many years ago. There have been many bones and skulls found in those openings into the systems that empty into the sea.

I’m not familiar withthe chemistry of carbon dating, but it seems suspect that bones submerged for thousands if year can be reliably carbon dated.
