Copan Ruinas Honduras

Copan Ruinas is on the border between Guetemala and Honduras. Its one of the few preserved Mayan cities in the world.

The living area

The Ball court

When people died they were buried at the corner of their house.
This was the best sculpture I thought
All the carvings tell a story
This is a replica of one of the temples that was found under other temples. When a new King took over they would build a new temple on top of the old ones.
You can still see some of the original color on some sculptures.
