There were thought to be two entrances to Yomi, one, a mere hole in the ground in the province of Izumo blocked by a boulder, and another more dramatic entrance where all the seas plunge down into the earth.
Xibalba, roughly translated as "place of fear", is the name of the underworld in Maya mythology, ruled by the Maya death gods and their helpers. ... Cave systems in nearby Belize have also been referred to as the entrance to Xibalba.
Xibalba served as a court for the dead and housed 12 gods called the Rulers of Xibalba, with two specific gods, Hun-Came (“One Death”) and Vucub-Came (“Seven Death”) governing the underworld.
Hopi legend tells how tribal ancestors climbed up through three cave worlds along with all the animals. They were helped by two Spirit Masters who were brothers.
