How does a #Teotihuacan altar end up in the Maya centre of #Tikal in Guatemala, some 1,000 km away?
Ramírez's et al. offer an quite intriguing answer including 5th century BCE conflict, politics, and client kings in their @Antiquity 99(404), 2025

In de oude Maya-metropool #Tikal in #Guatemala hebben archeologen een altaar blootgelegd dat heel verrassend niet door de Maya’s is gemaakt. Experts zien het volk van #Teotihuacan, een compleet andere inheemse cultuur uit de tijd van de Maya’s, als de makers. Mogelijk heeft dat te maken met handel tussen de #Maya’s en dit volk tussen 300 en 500 n. Chr.

Na anderhalf jaar minutieus onderzoek is een altaar blootgelegd dat - verrassend genoeg - niet door Maya’s gemaakt blijkt te zijn.

The person standing behind appears to be carrying a sack labeled "Map 1," which suggests it could contain money or currency, given the context of the photo being taken around the year 2038 as indicated on the sack's label.

Adela Breton was a trailblazing archaeological artist. She grew up in #Bath and died 101 years ago today (13th June 1923).
Her meticulous copies of the wall paintings at #ChichenItza & #Teotihuacan in #Mexico, are the only full record of what was there at the time.
She features in Unsung Women in Somerset but will have a full chapter in the Junior Edition, available for preorder now from http://books2read.com/unsung-junior.
I love not having to drive so I can capture these garlands as we drive under them.

Le site de Teotihuacan au Mexique possède une des plus grandes pyramides. La pyramide du soleil est comparable au niveau de la base aux pyramides de Gizeh, mais elle ne date pas du tout de la même époque ! Il faut également l'imaginer coiffée d'un temple, dédié au dieu de la pluie et de l'eau.
Tikal was long the mightiest #Maya city, and today the stately ruins reflect their glory. Six temples with massive roof combs soar above the city, and they built them steep! 
.
But did non-Mayans rule this place? 
In 378 AD, Tikal's king Great Jaguar Paw died, the same day a non-Maya figure Fire is Born arrived - prob a general from #Teotihuacan, near modern Mexico City. It appears the northerners invaded Tikal, executed the king, and installed their own dynasty of rulers.

Tláloc (pron. Tla-loc) is one of the most important and formidable gods in the Aztec pantheon. He was considered the god of rain, water, lightning and agriculture. Tlaloc was seen as both a benevolent god providing life-giving rain but also as an unforgiving and destructive deity when he sent storms and drought.

After seeing the ruins of #Mesoamerican cities all my life, I love finding artistic representations of what they used to look like.
