"Discovered in 1570 by Diego García de Palacio, the ruins of Copán, one of the most important sites of the Mayan civilization, were not excavated until the 19th century. The ruined citadel and imposing public squares reveal the three main stages of development before the city was abandoned in the early 10th century"

Las Sepulturas in #Copan Ruinas #Honduras #archaeology #2012 #travel

Las Sepulturas site "...had provided valuable information about the day-to-day lives of Copán’s ruling elite. The area received its macabre name (“The Tombsâ€) from local campesinos, who farmed in the area and, in the course of their work, uncovered many tombs of nobles who were buried next to their houses, as was the Mayan custom."
