Archaeologists exploring the deep jungles of Mexico uncovered the remains of an ancient Mayan city that experts never knew had existed.
Archaeologists exploring the deep jungles of Mexico uncovered the remains of a previously unknown ancient Mayan city.
The scientists discovered large pyramid-like buildings, stone columns, three plazas with “imposing buildings” and other structures arranged in almost-concentric circles scattered throughout the thousand-year-old ancient settlement. The team put boots on the ground from May through mid-June, where they found the ruins once belonging to the Mayans, whose empire once spanned southeast Mexico and parts of Central America.
The city had central altars in an area near the La Riguena river, which scientists theorize may have been designed for community rituals, as well as a ball court for games that were widespread throughout Mayan civilization — players passed a rubber ball representing the sun across a court without the use of hands to land it through a small stone hoop.
