"According to the world rules of speleology, the largest cave absorbs the small, so Dos Ojos becomes part of Sac Actun."

This is the connection. Nohoch was already part of Sac Aktun, connected by Robbie Schmittner and Steve Bogaerts, I think about six years ago.

There was a dry connection, but this is about wet cave and that connection is new. There is a larger dry cave, Mammoth cave with over 650km (405m).
