old maya excavations

Tikal Temple I 'between 1929 and 1957'


I was browsing the Harvard Visual Information Access database and found that they have loads of old photographs from early excavations of many famous mayan sites such as tikal, copan, palenque, uxmal and chichen itza. It' s fascinating to see how different they look like today:
