Xunantunich Maya Site Virtual Tour

From www.youtube.com - March 10, 2020 11:47 AM

Video of the day.  A high res tour of Xunantunich.  Everyone loves Xunantunich.

 

"Xunantunich (Mayan pronunciation: [ʃunanˈtunitʃ]) is an Ancient Maya archaeological site in western Belize, about 70 miles (110 km) west of Belize City, in the Cayo District. Xunantunich is located atop a ridge above the Mopan River, well within sight of the Guatemala border – which is a mere 0.6 miles (1 km) to the west. It served as a Maya civic ceremonial center in the Late and Terminal Classic periods to the Belize Valley region. At this time, when the region was at its peak, nearly 200,000 people lived in Belize."

Felipe Arias's curator insight, March 14, 2020 5:33 PM
It is the first time I get immersed in a virtual walk around ancient ruins of a civilization, and I have never seen buildings like those so close before. The architecture is amazing and thinking of how they built it make me wonder how endless the human creativity is. I expect to be there at least one time in my life and enjoy it by myself.
