Cars were used to remove the spoil and the workers using pulleys and a long rope. These sewers were intended to take the sewage going to Lago Amatitlan and divert it to the Managua River drainage. Guatemala City sits on a continental divide. This would offer a very good explanation for the current sinkhole and the one that formed in 2007. Underground piping is notorious for causing these types of cataclysmic occurrences. Here's a good article on this. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/06/100603-science-guatemala-sinkhole-2010-humans-caused/ Not as sexy as the Mayan Calandar, but infinitly more probable.
