The missing skeleton which disappeared from Chan Hol cave last march was not originally mentioned as the "Young from Hol Chan I" or "Man of the Temple", but it was a different remnant named as "Chan Hol II" and now dubbed as "The girl stolen from Chan Hol".
The skeleton of which gender was confirmed through the hip bone which was subtracted, is in fact the best preserved remains among the similar skeletons found in the underground cave systems which was known to have been flooded in the period of the Ice Age more than 10 thousand years ago; but ages ago they were dry locations which served as shelter and water collection sites for the first American populations from South East Asia.
"The girl stolen from Chan Hol cave", located in Tulum was recorded to be the eighth prehistoric human skeleton. The footprint data from the end stage of the Ice Age, generally known as Upper Pleistocene, is by far the most important evidence that the first settlements in this field as well as the rest of America, not only came walking through the Bering Strait", Jeronimo Aviles Olguin, co-author of the "Study of the pre ceramic human groups from the east coast of Quintana Roo", says. INAH, involving other persons, like biologist Arturo Gonzalez, speleologist Eugenio Acevez, physical anthropologists Alejandro Terrazas and Martha Benavente supported the study.
The value of this skeleton is that, in contrast to the old ones, it is the best preserved given that the bones were covered with a mineral deposit making them more resilient. "The entire bone was covered with speleothem, which is actually a mineral deposit making it much stronger, in comparison to Chan Hol I which was significantly crumbling", according to the statement of Aviles Olguin.
Arturo Gonzalez, the coordinator of project, explained that Chan Hol II is very important because it is a piece of a puzzle that will provide findings and help understand the settling of America, at the same time understand the changes in ecosystem and natural disasters specifically global warming.
About The Skeleton's Partial Recovery
According to Avil's Olguin, it was March 16 that the Chan Hol II was last seen and its disappearance was confirmed on the 23rd. The very next day, archaeologist Carmen Rojas publicised in the social media sites the absence of the skeleton. "The existence of this skeleton was recorded by means of a photographic record; after that they went back to do a comparison and pointed out that 80% of the skeleton was missing or stolen", he states.
The news quickly spread throughout the world, but the partial finding of the human remains was barely released, for some reason.
Restoring The Ancient Human Remains
It was under Jerome's Aviles Olguin charge along with other professionals that the ancient skeleton remains were salvaged, who made a dive in two in April and have obtained some parts of the ancient skeleton. Aviles Olguin specifies that they have rescued a vertebrae, rib fragments, molar, two incisors, jaw, hand and feet bones and confirms that they are from a skeleton which is very old.
Thereafter, the material was sent to the UNAM's Institute of Anthropological Research for study. Perhaps the robber was scared, the hip was not stolen and was the true secret to figure out that the the gender of the skeleton is not of a man, on the other hand of a young and prestigious woman, as reported by the anthropologists Benavante and Terrazas's observations. Moreover, they uncovered remains of one of the arms, however what are missing are the cranium and with the rest of the skeletal parts.
Signs reading "wanted pre-mayan skeleton disappeared from the Chan Hol Cave" was distributed by INAH after the robbery, mostly among the divers of Tulum. The public ad sent out revealed that they are 14500 years old ancient remains from Tulum, possibly dating prior to those of the "Woman from Naharon", the eighth pre-mayan remains they have which is considered as America's oldest skeleton.
