EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ruins of Lubaatun, a once-thriving Maya city situated on the Columbia branch of the Rio Grande in British Honduras, now known as Belize. Discovered in 1924, the archaeological site was named Lubaatun by the explorers who uncovered it, derived from the Mayan language meaning 'place of fallen stones.' The intricate details of the Lubaatun map reveal the layout of this ancient civilization, with its various structures and plazas arranged in a meticulous grid pattern. The city's central pyramid complex, dominated by the impressive Temple of the Cross, stands out prominently in the map, surrounded by smaller temples, palaces, and residential areas. The discovery of Lubaatun provided valuable insights into the Maya civilization, shedding light on their architectural, religious, and social practices. The site's proximity to the river suggests that water played a crucial role in the daily life of the inhabitants, who may have relied on agriculture and fishing for sustenance. This print serves as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Maya people, whose civilization flourished in the Americas from around 2000 BC to the arrival of Europeans in the late 15th century. The ruins of Lubaatun, like countless others, continue to captivate the imagination and fuel the curiosity of scholars, adventurers, and history enthusiasts alike, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring legacy of the Maya civilization.
