Scientists find handprints (手印) in a cave in Mexico. The cave is near the famous Chichen Itza. Many black and red handprints are on the wall. They are children´s handprints.

Scientists believe that the handprints are a part of a special ritual (仪式). The colors are very important. Black stands for an end. Red stands for a person´s life among other people. Scientists believe that the ritual happens when a child becomes old.

The handprints are more than 1,200 years old. The Maya culture (玛雅文化) was so strong and rich at that time. Millions of Mayas still live in Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize.
