This Earth Wall has almost been destroyed in the past

Chicxulub Puerto – Cenote, is a blue-lake destination in a beautiful cave in Mexico. Beyond that, this place was appreciated as proof that the Earth was almost destroyed in the past.

BBC Travel started on Wednesday (11/14/2018), in the mid-1980s, a group of US archaeologists examined the satellite images showing the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. They do not know what makes an unexpected pattern, which is almost a perfect ring.

The area is about 200 km away. In Chicxulub Puerto Rico, Mexico is believed by scientists to be the center of the crater since the clash of asteroids that then slaughtered dinosaurs.

Better known as Cenote, the hole with blue water is what is meant. This is the main attraction of tourists visiting the Yucatan Peninsula.

When we see space, these holes are rallied together to form a nearly half-circle pattern. Archaeologists have discovered this pattern, which surrounds the capital of Merida and the port cities of Sisal and Progreso.

The Mayans used water from Cenote for their daily needs. They are the locals who live on the peninsula.

These holes confuse the researchers. They once presented the findings to fellow satellite experts at the Selper Scientific Conference in Acapulco, Mexico in 1988.

For a scientist from the audience, Adriana Ocampo, then a young planetary geologist at Nasa, a circular formation was a sign of anticipation. He predicted it was the impact of a giant asteroid that was bad enough to make the planet threatening 66 million years ago.

Ocampo's prediction is the principle of establishing the beliefs of scientists today. The crater was caused by a twelve-mile long star that hit the Yucatan and exploded with inconceivable power.

Since the early 1990s, teams of scientists from America, Europe and Asia have worked to answer the puzzles. They now believe that the impact directly creates a crater 30 kilometers deep

After the disaster, the world changed and surrounded by a cloud of ash that blocked the sky and created a lasting night for more than a year. The temperature falls under the freezer and kills about 75% of life on Earth, including almost all the dinosaurs.

Until the Ocampo findings were published in 1991, the Yucatan region was now the subject of international interest. Now there is a museum opened in September 2018, the Chicxulub Cracker Science Museum, a joint project by the Mexican government and the country's largest university UNAM.

The goal was to introduce life 66 million years ago when 12 kilometers of asteroids changed world history. In addition, this museum is expected to be a bridge for tourists exploring the pre-historic period of Yucatan.
