What irony. It would be white people (Spanish) who much wished to eradicate text writing, and it would be white people (Americans and others) who would resurrect the dead.
A documentary of the Maya also indicate that the Mayans are being reacquainted to their own culture. Those that contributed in this…will become stars, to shine forever and ever in the night sky, Amerindian proverb.
@TigreMixteco That's not ironic. I'm white and I'm incredibly happy that these works of art are being found and that Mayans are rediscovering their history, but not all white people are the same. You're comparing Spanish Explorers and imperialists and murderers with present day scholars, how is that ironic? Now, if all of the Spanish burned to death when they were burning the Native American cultures to the ground, that would have been ironic :) More Mayan art means more tattoos for me :)
san bartolo who the fuck is that mexico should not let white people around our ancestors artifacts ...white people are killers of culture and truth

Actually, preliminary excavations began in 2002. The pyramids and the mural room were found simultaneously (and completely accidentally) in 2001.
