A very dear friend got married in Summer 2021 and went to Belize on honeymoon. She kindly bought some Maya cards including these:
The Sky Palace at Caracol, a political center during the Classic Period.The site was rediscovered in the 1930s, excavated and restored. This is the largest building at the site and the largest in Belize today.
The site of Lamanai was occupied for a longer period of time and was known in Spanish times. This card shows a temple that was built approximately 200 BC, with limestone masks added 600 year later. This mask appears to have Olmec features and the temple contains the remains of a man buried with jade & shells.
