eday+FollowAncient Maya Mystery Gets a Plot TwistArchaeologists just found a centuries-old altar in Tikal, but plot twist—it wasn’t Maya-made! Turns out, this altar (with four skeletons, including a child) was crafted by Teotihuacan artists from over 600 miles away. The altar’s wild colors and Storm God vibes totally match Teotihuacan style.
