In the dense jungles of Guatemala, near the borders with Mexico and Belize, archaeologists have unearthed an ancient Maya tomb that dates back 1,700 years.
This significant find was made at the site of Chochkitam, revealing a treasure trove of artifacts and offering new insights into the Maya civilization during an era that remains largely mysterious.
Among the extraordinary items discovered within the tomb were a mosaic jade mask, rare mollusk shells from the spondylus oyster, and human femur bones with carved writings.
