History - Deep Sea Detectives More Secret Underwater Caves

For more than a thousand years, the Taino people flourished on the islands comprising the Greater Antilles modern-day Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. Five centuries ago, they seemingly vanished millions of people gone in the blink of an eye. The DSD team explores the archaeological record, a lost city deep in the jungle, disturbing legends, and secret water-filled caves to learn how a people rich in natural resources could so quickly fall victim to malnutrition and unspeakable violence. The most sacred of their caves, known as eyes of the beast, hold artifacts in their murky depths that may reveal the true fate of the Taino.
