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. It looks like their elites set up shop in Tikal during a super tense era, and the Maya later buried the whole thing like a haunted memorial.
