Exhibit in the Latin American Library: Sacred Cenotes, Hidden Caverns: Fifty Years of Research in the Maya
Area
Fourth Floor of Howard-Tilton Library, Tulane University
February 15, 2008 - March 10, 2008
Venture into the realm of the Hero Twins and the rain gods with a visit to the Maya Underworld.
Featured in the exhibit are photographs and drawings of explorations at three cave and cenote
sites – Balankanché near Chichén Itzá; Cenote Xlacah at Dzibilchaltún in Yucatán; and Naj
Tunich in the Petén, Guatemala. Tulane was instrumental in research at Balankanché and
Dzibilchaltún under the direction of E. Wyllys Andrews IV, in projects co-sponsored by the
National Geographic Society. George Stuart of the NGS participated in all three projects, which
will be the subject of his keynote address on Friday, February 15th. We are grateful to Dr.
Stuart, Tulane’s Middle American Research Institute, and the Latin American Library for
making the exhibition possible.
