And it's not just the size that matters. The area also hosts a wealth of historical treasures. Guillermo de Anda is director of the Gran Acuifero Maya project. He said the discovery would help them better understand the rich culture in the region.
这个洞穴的重要之处并不只是其长度。这个地区还汇聚了丰富的历史珍宝。吉利尔莫·德·安达(Guillermo de Anda)是大玛雅地下水层项目的负责人。他说,该发现会帮助研究团队更深入地了解当地丰富多彩的文化。
But while its size makes this the longest underwater cave, it can't take the title of longest cave. That belongs to the mammoth cave complex in the American hillsides of Kentucky – thought to be near double the length. They'll need to keep diving to beat that one.
虽然它是世界上最长的水下洞穴,但它无法夺得“世界最长洞穴”的头衔。因为这个称号属于位于美国肯塔基州猛犸洞穴群,它的长度几乎是最新发现的水下洞穴的两倍。要想打破这项记录,研究团队恐怕得在水下继续寻找才行。
