Belize is famous for it's Great Blue Hole. A near perfect circle far off the coast, but did you know that it has another sinkhole, one that is even more mysterious, it's called the Black Hole.
This cave was used for Mayan Sacrifice about 1000 years ago, and together with a small band of explorers we push into it's depths to find a treasure... A Crystal Skull.
Big love to Ian Anderson's Caves Branch Adventure Lodge for all the help putting this together. You can visit this cave too! Contact them here:

This is my favorite episode/adventure to date!! Thanks man really really cool
Just so u and other Content creators know. It's mad annoying when I pay for premium to not watch ads yall try to pull shit to make me watch them. But that's the beauty of premium. Can skip rt through it and on to what I want to watch ur actual Content.
You were inside the body of a giant.
Nothing like a Fearless & Far episode to get through the last work day before a long weekend. Always love the content.
Happy to take you all on an epic adventure together before the long weekend 🐉
Why do you have a long weekend ? It’s Mardi Gras week down here in New Orleans yeeee
@@Voo504Doo in Canada, or atleast New Brunswick (East Coast of Canada) this weekend is a holiday the government came up with a few years ago called Family Day. I guess it is suppose to be a day to spend with family.
No worries do what he does otherwise enjoy.
@@fearlessandfar there to far and few between I wish you dropped them weekly
Absolutely stunning. A civilization of over a thousand years ago had a sacrificial altar that seems to be frozen in time. To think as well that they only had torches to light their path. Seeing this makes one sit back and just ponder.
Yeah I would love to know the circumstances of the first and last one!
@@awesomeblossom1 what I would give to see all the moments that have been erased from time 😭 I'm certain it's more than we think
@@niabiiiimagine having godlike powers and just being able to observe everything exactly as it happened
@@niabiii There could be huge empires that were destroyed without a trace. We probably only know a fraction. History is one of the final frontiers of discovery that is still accessible to everybody.
@@niabiiiOur history and ancestors memories are locked away inside our genetic composition, find a way to unlock it and you'll find your wish.
Carlos was my tour guide to go canoeing in a cave and ziplining when I was in Belize! Awesome guy, fountain of knowledge and took time to explain the culture and history. Definitely need to go see Black Hole next time I visit Belize!!!
Hello I want to go visit this place & look inside the cave -- it’s very interesting-- I know people still make sacrifices today all over the world yet in different locations- somebody will go in there & make a sacrifice this year
On my bucket list! ✌🏼💫🙌🏼🕊️
I hope you didn't miss out on the Lamanai ruins of Belize! I went exploring there by myself with a broken-down jeep and found I had an entire ancient Mayan city to myself. Once of the most amazing places I've ever been to with the howler monkeys in the trees, lost temples still under the growth, and of course the famous jade faces!
My goodness sounds like something you would see in a movie.
@@my6732Sounds like what a movie would portray.
@@solomongrundy3411Are you really trying to correct them? 😂
@@MysticalDyl Aren't you confused.
Hello everyone
The way you describe everything in such great detail is incredible. It’s like a movie and I’m right there along side you. So fun and addicting to watch, I love it
Thank you Jacob! I want you all to feel like you’re there too!
Facts😂👍🏻
You've quickly become my favorite TH-cam explorer by far, your open mindedness and respect for the cultures you're around is admirable! Keep exploring brother
These wannabe explorers are destroying these ancient sites little by little... That's pretty cool, right?
I am very happy I stumbled across your channel a while back. your videos never fail to both entertain and educate me, thank you! much love.
The best comment. Thank you 🐉
❤️
I love the added history lessons you put in your videos
Another excellent video and adventure, Mike. Another of my favorites of yours! From the ant-eating at the beginning, to rappelling down into the sinkhole, to venturing deep into the caves for one of the coolest adventures I've ever seen on TH-cam, this is an instant Fearless & Far classic. You finding the broken pottery and obsidian blade was already cool enough, but seeing you come across the crystal skull blew my mind. Incredible, man. 🐉🔥
Carlos getting grabbed at night and being so terrified that he screamed goes to show that even after all the exploring he’s done wit grabbed him was real without a doubt
nah mofo just got really high on shrooms and hallucinated
@@zacworkman8027you just illiterate without any proof of brain cells
Mike, what an expedition that was for you and your crew. I was so excited to see you when you found that crystal skull, your traveling brings joy to me. Thanks Mike, enjoy your travels and be safe.
seriously my favorite channel on yt. thank you for sharing your incredible journeys with us. it’s amazing to see and learn about cultures and different beautiful creations of nature.
as a film student i highly appriciate the perfect choice of the music on the descent to the pit or even at times in the cave. i it so mysterious and adventurous, it makes you think something otherwordly is really happening there. it helps to tell the story better. i love it i really do
I love your videos. You're basically doing what I've always dreamed of. Going to places the tourists don't normally go and finding beauty everywhere!
Did you not see the tour guide
@@SkarKingg you're right. I is dumb idiot
@fearlessandfar.. I am disabled and therefore unable to go do things like this anymore but it's so awesome to be able to live vicariously through these badass videos! Love your work, brother! Super insightful and special!✌️❤️
What an amazing video! I love how respectful you are to everything and everyone around you. I would love to see these kinds of videos showing the hidden gems of Europe, there is plenty! Love it!
DEFINITELY not as exciting or as dangerous as your awesome adventure, but in the 60's I went to a privately owned cave in Missouri. You climbed through a small hole, down a handmade old wood ladder into a cave that had been used for a 1700's Native Am burial site. Sticking out of the calcified walls was a calcified child. In a sitting position, it's hair, head, face, and 1 knee were still protruding and even the eyelashes were calcified. We were not allowed to take any pictures, but that memory has stayed vivid in my mind for 57 years.
Vicki… that is amazing. Wow!
@fearlessandfar Thanks. Nothing compared to your amazing finds, but this is on private land that has been in the same family since early 1800's. My then boyfriend's relatives.
“Stolen” private land
@@Farfrmphyscical The natives stole land as well. The Lakota took the Black Hills from the Cheyenne. What's your malfunction?
@@Farfrmphyscical Just another woke joker trying to win the biggest victim award
That was epic a dive into geological history and the history of Mayans . Caves have always been places of fear and reverence for many ancient cultures and even today they still capture the imagination. Human sacrifice was practiced all over the ancient world, some of the sacrificial victims were sometimes set apart from the rest of the community and treated like royalty before the time came .👍
That looks so scary and full of information like National Geography. I would never do it so thanks for video and I'm totally checking out Ian Anderson for other tours!
Came across one of your videos today. Wanted something to play in the background while housekeeping. Bro... I ended up glued to the screen and watching a few more. SUBSCRIBED 📺
THIS IS THE FIRST VIDEO I'V SEEN AND IT WAS INSANLY GOOD TY FOR THE EXPERIENCE!!!
Heyyy MaskedTopHat, welcome to the Fearless & Far bro! 🐉
I love watching all his videos, when comes to adventuring in different places or cultures, us people we didnt know he was so open minded and respectful. By far this man is actually educating me with stuff I really didn’t know. Big props to you man, thank you for showing everyone all your experiences when it comes to being a traveler.
Such a great episode..leave so much room for the mind to explore..thank you for educating me on the Mayan way of living and culture.
Fantastic video as always, Mike! It's amazing that the Mayans managed to get in there and do so much, without repelling equipment or flashlights!
I was just thinking that, like it would be neat to do a study to try and find out how they did it. 🤔
Is it a good idea to post this to social media?
I feel like once this gains traction, vandals might wanna go find it for themselves
Reminds me of that one cave diver in the Amazon who wanted to show a pristine teapot deep down in a flooded cave
He found it again smashed to bits
There's a reason things are left in that cave.
Lol I wouldn't want to take anything with me
Man I see why you have so many followers or subscribers because your expeditions to remote areas are amazing. Like the trip to that castle at a mountain and they shoot at you. Keep doing I what you love and I imagine you’re opening the doors for people to put on their bucket list the places you have gone.
Thanks for the upload, long been waiting😁
Yes yes yesssss. It’s been so long man. Glad to see another new episode. Keep being fearless and keep going further
Always 🐉
Cave explorations are a delight to watch on any given day, good content and addictive to watch 💚
Brilliant, thanks for taking us with you 👍
Congratz - Great trip, have seen several of these videos for this Cenote and you have found Great Guides! The other videos did not cover any of the local knowledge like the Termites, Palm Hearts, etc... those bits of info really complete the video thank you.
Again, a Greatttt adventure! The feeling to see all that beautiful nature hidden and untouched. Thanks Mike for that super video and the story telling about the place! 😘👌
Happy you’re here Sheila 🐉
@@fearlessandfar always! 😊
You finding the child skull came at the perfect time. I'm studying forensics and I'm currently working through anthropology. I just saw an infant skull and had to identify it's characteristics, and it looked very similar to that.
💖💖 thanks for sharing your epic adventures Mikmik 😍😍😍😍 more power to you! ONE LOVE from Adelaide South Australia 💖
Fearless & Far, I really enjoy your show and have been watching years now, glad to see you are in my country. love this so much keep up the good work.
Man all of those guys were LEGENDS! What a fun trip. I hope you can do more with them someday in the future!
I'm old enough to remember when Discovery Channel was good. You, my friend, are better than they ever were in every way. Your editing of this is incredible!
As I think you have said in the past, other channels are not competition, there is room for everyone. I would watch a channel run by these guys (in addition to yours!)
Discovery channel, like all the others, fell into the elite's 'agenda' to do anything but report on what they actually were meant to do. No more TV for me.
This channel needs 20M+ subscribers 😱
This what the adventures called
I try to take you to places you’ve never heard of before 🐉
Congratulations on the find of a lifetime. I remember being a kid in the 80s and being so intrigued by the skulls and legends. Y'all must feel freaking amazing. 👏👍☺️
Hello mike I'm almost watch all your videos.. Thank for sharing your experience and your journey and keeping us inspired to travel keep it up and be safe always❤
I like this video. This is very well explained. I have been going back and forth to Belize but I never saw this amazing place.
Pretty wild right?
This guy has been one of my inspirations to get certain affairs in order so I can travel abroad soon. Love the content brotha always good stuff
Plan to be showing you guys the world for a long long time! 🐉
If you wait for the perfect time when everything is perfect and all your affairs are in order, you have already missed out on many amazing opportunities.
Wow, amazing place, story, video. Thank you for bringing us such a masterpiece 👍
Whao ! Incredible video again, thanks for sharing all your adventures.
I love your videos so much I love her they talk about culture and don’t judge anything or anyone thank you so much for continuing to do what you do and I am so happy that I can support ❤
I try to keep an open mind so that we can all learn together 🐉
I am proud of my Belize and the things it has and thanks to this man who went to explore this cave a thousand respects for you from me and all my country Belize
🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿
LOVE BELIZE.
Beautifully made wow and amazing thank you so much cant wait to see your next adventure
This video was absolutely amazing to watch. It had me in awe, and I was really intrigued and fully alerted when learning new things. Amazing 👏🏾
Hello i m from Switzerland and im pretty young and got no money but when i m older i want to live a life like yours. I love your content so keep up the work!!! Thanks that you share your adventures with us for free :)
Good luck 🤙🏾
Entering this cave is quite an experience which usually people would not dare to enter.
The total descent is approximately 500 feet (152 meters), requiring participants to master their fear of heights to enjoy this unique adventure experience.
I was told 300ft at the rappel, but it’s probably a 500ft drop at the mouth of the cave, the floor of the sinkhole slants downward.
@@fearlessandfar I salute your courage.
I stopped at 3:18 and although I don't repel off the sides of mountains n such , but looking at the rope being let loose for the climbers, the apparatus used at 3:18 on rope looks like it causes Alot of friction on the rope per si as opposed to what block n tackle would cause which would be right at Zero compared what is used at 3:18 ? I don't know it just seems like I wouldn't want my rope to be gathering any heat when I'm rappelling off a sheer cliff
I kind of notice that they didn't go for seconds when they was licking that tree for ants. If it was that good I would think they'd stay there for a minute and take a few more licks. LOL spicy they say? Maybe not tasting good spicy probably
@@fearlessandfar how do you carry a victum that far? They must have been drugged unconsious and carried or lowered on ropes. Such evil people to do things like this. I remember years ago reading about the sacrifices where they ripped out the heart of victums while they were alive. - so evil
Fascinating! Great video + adventure! 👏
Keep up the hard work mike your killing it brother
I love watching these videos from fearless and far. Hats off Mike.
Lots more in the works 🐉
It would be scary asf to sleep in there! But it looks extremely fun to explore!
Phenomenal content!! Subscribed.
this is so cool! i just learned about the mayan people in school over the week and it’s really cool to learn more about it over the weekend!! i’ll sure be ready for my test this coming Tuesday!🎉
I love your videos from Kashmir ❤️❤️❤️
Wow, Mike. Great video! I love learning from you! Been here since you were KTG! And you’re even better now!
Heyyy Liane! OG Fan! Bonus points!
I love mysterious videos like these such great history and fascinating stories
amazing video ! keep them coming !
“Ok listen I can’t spoil the surprise already” 0:57 the skull in the thumbnail 💀
I know right 😆
Fun fact: Mike isn't circumcised. Wasn't expecting to learn that today but here we are.
😆😆😆😆
Is that the new thing to attack ppl about lol your not circumcised so you're weird and different.. lol people
@@SlimEagle5515 No? Where did you get that from. Mike mentioned that he's uncircumcised, that's just as funny to hear as him saying he was circumcised. Nobody came to this video expecting him to talk about that... its just funny
@@qskii2365 oooh OK 🙄 lol
@@SlimEagle5515 Just a miscommunication no worries
This needs more views this was so amazing to see!
Man god bless you ! and everything you’re doing .the knowledge you bring to those fascinated by ancient history. “Knowledge has a biggining but no end”
As Belizean the country was robbed of its jewels and stuff most of it is in Europe and America 🤦🏾♂️🇧🇿
That's normal. Spoils of war and exploits of exploration are a common and accepted practice. Look at is as sharing your culture and keeping it alive.
@@barryfondant6032 can I see your crystal skull lol
@@barryfondant6032" acceptable practice "....
Runn you runnn, I am goona blow you up
True, and its called theft.
It's happened to all most every civilization throughout history. One nation pounders the other. Also more recently, meaning early documented exploration up until now, archeologists who work with the government of both places also acquires things. Many go to the places that allowed the exploration and the sponsors. So they get dispersed and or put up in storage.
This is what schools should show the students, its exiting and you learn a lot from it. Very well made and educational🎉
i just watch you for the first time and i knew right away it would be a great video
i just subscribed and like without seeing more then the intro of your video or seeing any of your videos we just know quality when we see :))
i love how carlos has games for everything haha great person !!
That was one of the most captivating videos I’ve seen in a very long time. Thank you for sharing
I LOVED this video!! I loved how you narrated, with magic touch, and I love when you explain us also the science behind what we see! Thank you for this video!!!
Man this guy needs his own tv show or something!!! The videos are great imma have to check out your website too
Fascinating! Thank you for sharing it.
Very nostalgic as I too used to do Myan tours in Guatemala, Honduras & Belize back in the mid 1990's!! Well, glad to see that some rain forest is still there and where you guys went definitely is wayyy beyond the average Gringo's tour- stay safe and watch out for the snakes, bandito's & parasito's!!
A wonderful documentry. Amazing...❤❤❤❤
Brilliant video mate, thanks so much, ever since I read the Mystery of the Crystal Skulls Ive been dying to visit Belize. Id have never known that an adventure tour like this was available if I hadn't seen this. Great channel. I have a small humble channel rhat focuses on South America, but hopefully once I get travelling again I'll be able to do stuff like you do. Cheers mate.
just found your channel and absolutely love it🔥
Thank you for sharing!!❤
That was so amazing ❤❤❤❤❤
Best video out there ❤
Awesome 👏 I felt like watching a movie w/ suspense 👏You’re the best ❤️
Awesome video bro I really wish I can explore like you..hopefully one day I will ..but can't wait to see more and learn more..thank you ❤❤
I went to Ian's many moons ago as well! Absolutely well done video, the place is quite amazing!
Bro I low-key love you, I wish to do the same thing but you are already doing it! Keep exploring these unknown and unexplored areas, us common people need to see what's actually around.
Bro change that mindset
God bless you bro variety
❤️💯💯❤️💯❤️🙏Thank GOD
Such an amazing exploration.
Hey mike! Idk if you remember me, we did a little video chat a couple years ago I can’t believe how much you and the channel has grown!!! Amazing content my friend.
Heyyy Maryanne! Great to see your face again. It’s grown a lot right? 🐉
this is so beautiful. i want to explore the world! thank you for this amazing experience. much love ❤❤
Keep up the great work Fearless & Far.
That was amazing! Really Really amazing. Thank yall
So awesome glad I came across your channel bro keep doing you it's great I love it wish I could do things like you getting to old now to do something like that
Loved this video.Thank you
I'm new here. But I subscribed because nowadays, most people would have taken that skull, or even one of the broken pieces I saw laying around it. Thank you so much for showing us this, but not touching it, playing with it, or taking it. You are a true explorer. Take only pictures, leave only footprints.
My beautiful country, I wish I knew you were here. Thanks for including us in your awesomeness.
Holy.. how has your channel only just been recommended. Love from new zealand. Covered a good of your videos within 24 hours.. amazing content.. love it ❤
I'm glad people like you guys do this and video it because it's fascinating to watch and I'll be the first to admit that I'm not built to go inside places like this.
Loose some weight and you'll fit
Once again, great video
Thanks for showing us this type of video
i enjoyed 😊
thank you for this video! help me to be intrested and happy while i take a break from learning to my exams!
Love your videos brother. Lots of love from Nepal❤
Thank you for this adventure I'm from Belize and have never been there . Loved this. 😢❤❤
HAUNTING! Wow!
Thank You for this magnificent tour. 🤗
Greetings from Sweden! 🇸🇪
