00:20Turquoise-browed mot-mots, like these, led the Maya to hidden freshwater pools deep underground called cenotes.
00:36Virtually every cenote has its own resident mot-mot colony.
00:49The Maya not only depended on the cenotes for water, they believed they were portals into the underworld.

01:47We have reached the very close to the moon.
01:47We should see the new P-Junean's south coast line.
