I’ll bet it was almost exactly as it was when the explorers discovered the new world in the 15th century.

Life Tip: If you ever have the opportunity to go deep into a cave where you have to crawl on your belly for hundreds of feet through tight passages, you should crawl backward so you are less likely to get stuck. And you should be the last one to enter, in case someone else gets stuck.

Super Life Tip: Keep out of caves like this.

Nothing about dart traps, giant rolling boulders or a rival archeologist with a bunch of natives.

...archaeologists must crawl flat on their stomachs through hundreds of feet of tortuously narrow passages.

Nope. Nopenopenopenopenope! Dang Mayans.

Trump should tell Jerry Nadler all his secrets are in that cave but only Nadler can go in and retrieve them.
