Belize 2012 the Maya Heartland - where will you be when the world begins anew?

"Place of the Fallen Stones" (40.01 acres)

This Late Classic ceremonial center is noted for its unusual style of construction distinctive of southern Belize. The large pyramids and residences are made of dresses stone blocks with no mortar binding them together. The buildings on top of the pyramids were made from perishable materials rather than masonry and hence do not remain. The name is Maya for "Place of Fallen Stones."
