Every major news outlet is running stories about 'the end of the world' this week. Here's an article from Time Magazine, detailing how it isn't. They mention the overnight camping at Caracol, and Dr. Jaime Awe's participation in the events.
"The highlight for many previous campers has been Dr. Awe, who gives a 2.5 hour long guided tour of the Maya site during the camping trip. In the 1970s, Awe led the first official excavation of Caracol by a Belizean team (some exploratory excavations occurred in the 1950s, headed by an American archaeologist). Today, Awe is considered to be the site’s greatest authority and remains at the forefront of archaeological excavation and preservation in Belize, where it is thought that more than three-quarters of Mayan sites have not yet been discovered or excavated."
Have a great last day of the 13th Baktun!
