Maya wonders


NRK had an interesting background piece on a maya temple. Found by archeologist William Saturno from the University of New Hampshire, along with Monica Pellecer - in the rainforests in northern Guatemala

National Geo also has a piece on it, with some pictures (and they have also contributed to one of the expiditions)

For even more information - there is a dedicated website for the San Bartolo project, giving (short) information on the background, the technology used and some of the ongoing research

Fascinating stuff - and it goes to show how much we are unaware of from the past. So let's hope Indiana Jones 4 gets even more inspired youths into the field.
