FLavius Valerius Constantinus Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Archaeologists at an ancient Maya ceremonial site in Guatemala have uncovered the final intact wall of a large Maya mural dating from 100 B.C. that shows the mythology surrounding the creation of the world and a highly developed hieroglyphic script. A team that includes UCR Professor Karl Taube is in the midst of a five-year project to uncover the mural and reveal its story.

Favonius Cornelius Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 That mural is pretty fantastic, I had no idea their art could get so detailed and beautiful. All I have typically seen are the stone works and occasional statues. Interesting in themselves but not exactly something to stur the heart, but that painting is remarkable. Almost has a Japanese quality to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
