Archaeologists exploring the deep jungles of Mexico uncovered the remains of a previously unknown ancient Mayan city.

A team from the Archeology Council of the National Institute of Anthropology and History discovered the city, which they named Ocomtun — meaning “stone column” in the Yucatec Maya language — while searching a largely untraversed stretch of the Balamku ecological reserve on the country’s Yucatan Peninsula, the group said Tuesday.

The scientists discovered large pyramid-like buildings, stone columns, three plazas with “imposing buildings” and other structures arranged in almost-concentric circles scattered throughout the thousand-year-old ancient settlement.

I LOVE stuff like this.

Best part is it will not have been looted, and they might find some good stuff.

Would love it if they found a codex there.

I am REALLY hoping they will end up doing a tv show that shows and explains their findings. If they do,I will be tuning in!

You know the reason they're gone....

"Climate Change"

(But if it got colder then, why is warming now a bad thing?)
