}}Sistema Ox Bel Ha (from Mayan meaning "Three Paths of Water"; short Ox Bel Ha) is a cave system in Quintana Roo, Mexico. It is the longest explored underwater cave in the world[1] and ranks fourth including dry caves.[2] As of May 2017 the surveyed length is {{convert|270.2|km|sp=us}} of underwater passages.[1] There are more than 140 cenotes in the system.[3]

Discoveries

The Naranjal subsystem is part of Sistema Ox Bel Ha. Three prehistoric human remains have been found within the subsystem. The Jailhouse cenote, or Las Palmas, is the entrance to the locations of the Muknal and Las Palmas caves. The skeleton of an 18 to 20 year-old woman, Eve of Naharon, (13,454±117 cal BP) was discovered at a location around 368 {{convert|368|m|abbr=on}} away from the Jailhouse cenote entrance. The skeleton of a 44 to 50 year-old woman, {{Interlanguage link multi|Las Palmas Lady|es|Mujer de Las Palmas}} (8,937±203 cal BP) was found at a location around {{convert|2|km|abbr=on}} away from the Jailhouse cenote entrance. The Muknal cave, part of the Naranjal subsystem, contained the remains of a 40 to 50 year-old man, the Muknal Grandfather (9,600 cal BP). Unlike the other two skeletons in the subsystem, the Muknal Grandfather shows evidence of secondary burial. Analysis of these skeletons suggests that Ox Bel Ha was likely used as an important site for ritual burial.[3]

A new genus and species of extinct peccary, Muknalia minima, was identified from a fossil mandible found in the Muknal cave of the Ox Bel Ha system.[4]
