Very nice shot but I have no idea what you are talking about
Do you have a problem with the Maya Indians of Mexico?

How in the world did you come to that inference from his comment???
No one else had any idea what the reference to the disappearing thing was either....

This cave is as mysterious to me as it was to the Maya. It disappears

Of course I got that wrong - hang on tight... and thanks for putting me straight. Not enough coffee this morning. But the stalagmites are very thin and almost the same diameter, which makes me think that they are formed by water rising and falling, rather than by miner-rich water dripping down...

I love the Maya, which is why I keep going back. My comment about the disappearing cave was poking fun at myself for having a problem getting the image posted.

You may be correct. I wonder if it's fresh water or salt water and how often it raises.

Water, with the minerals in it, drips down, sometimes from stalactites, sometimes not, to form stalagmites.
When dripping down from stalactites, the deposits eventually build up on both, until they meet, forming columns.
Rising and falling water would uniformly coat the floor of the cave.
