Hello Sam,

The entrance measures 20"(left) x 20"(top) x 20"(right) x
24"(bottom). The entrance immediately graduates to a korbeled
arched tunnel perhaps 1" higher. The tunnel extends for some 30' to
40' to either a room or corridor at the far end. It is imbedded in
limestone --meaning there is no indication that it could have been
built from the outside in. The construction is Mayan.

How was it built?
By people of what stature???
