Good thing that city is abandoned. Otherwise the inhabitants would be heading to the Texas border just like all of their descendants.

A modest fixer-upper. Just needs a little paint and some sweeping and you can move right in.

I have heard that pilots flying over the jungle see tops of pyramids from abandoned and undiscovered Maya ruins quite a bit.
Very interesting.

NOT my fault!
I’m not in the habit of losing cities.

Yea,but I’ve always questioned those reports, you know...pilots, they’re the ones that claim to see UFO’s and such. My guess...oxygen deprivation.

There are many many undiscovered sites all over the Peten of northern Guatemala. I never had the opportunity to fly over the area, but climbed to the top of many pyramids, that the jungle had taken over, and from the top could see many other pyramids over the jungle canopy relatively nearby and some miles away. That whole jungle region is growing on top of a huge ancient metropolis. FWIW, I was fascinated with the region and spent many months exploring in the mid 80’s as a younger and adventurous youth. The jungle is so thick that there could be a monster pyramid a few hundred yards away and from the ground you’d never know it. Absolutely incredible place to visit for those of such a mindset.

Took a bus from Belize City to Tikal a number of years ago. Really a neat trip.

Aren’t there a number of places around the world where current primitive cultures know for traditional drug use sit atop more advanced, mostly forgotten cultures. Coincidence?

Them Mayans were very careless. Always losing cities.
