Description
Images of gravestones and death masks at Tak'alik Ab'aj archaeological site in Guatemala, home to a pre-Hispanic people who witnessed the transition from Olmec to Maya. The site is now aspiring to become one of the next UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The village was occupied for 1,700 years (from 800 BC to 900 AD) and the transitional bridge is estimated to have occurred between 350 BC and 100 AD, at the end of the Preclassic period. After its abandonment, it was discovered in 1888. IMAGES
