These structures include what appear to be a temple, a palace and housing platforms that are similar to the other Maya ruins in the area. However, scans reveal a network of stone walls, ditches and towers in the surrounding area that are entirely unfamiliar to Maya experts. If it wasn't the Maya, then who built these structures and why? In the middle of the South Pacific, in the heart of a deserted tropical island, is a lake that is home to millions of jellyfish. In fact, the lake ¬- known to the locals as Ongeim'l Tketau, the fifth lake ¬- has the highest concentration of jellyfish in a body of water anywhere in the world.
