open up ancient Aztec cave
But little is known about the civilization that built the immense city, with its ceremonial architecture and geometric temples, and then torched and abandoned it around 700 AD..."We want to find out why the Teotihuacan people sealed it and when," he said.
Maybe there's a reason they sealed the cave and burned the city.
Yea the reason is simple. It's called social revolt!
The prominent theory is that the society rose up, killed the leaders, and torched the cities.
Yersh. The "torching" was locaized to palaces and temples, with the common areas and poorer neighborhoods left alone. The theory of invasion was only disseminated because archeologist often explore the areas occupied by the elite first, and those were the areas burned.

But you have to admit
1) Mysteriously sealed site
2) mysterious pre-Aztec civilization
3) Grand city that mysteriously burnt to the ground and was worshipped by later civilizations
All that DOES add up to the making of a GREAT horror story 
Don't forget the death of the last guy who opened it 30 years ago.

Did he die mysteriously, like right after he opened it, or did he just die of natural causes?

he could have died of natural causes, but was driven mad by what he saw, and thus died in an asylum. that's always a good one.
he didn't mumble and scream about ineffable horrors before he died, did he?

Perhaps a few mumbled comments about odd geometry?

There were geometrical forms for which an Euclid could scarcely find a name -- cones of all degrees of irregularity and truncation; terraces of every sort of provocative disproportion; shafts with odd bulbous enlargements; broken columns in curious groups; and five-pointed or five-ridged arrangements of mad grotesqueness.
Imagination could conceive almost anything in connexion with this place.
