Archaeologists have recently discovered what may be the world's largest pyramid by volume under the canopy of the rain forest and buried under dense vegetation. What is more enlightening and significant of the people and culture is what is revealed inside. Inside this Mayan temple are writings depicting the creation story known as the Popul Vuh engraved in a Mayan temple in El Mirador, Guatamala. It was previously thought that the Popul Vuh was influenced by Catholic church after Columbus historical discovery of America. However, these markings appear to pre-date Columbus by more than 1000 years. So how did the creation story and other influences find their way into Mayan culture if it this was originally built in 300BC?

What I found interesting is that this single Mayan city is larger in size than modern-day downtown Los Angeles. This new discovery of information correlates with the stories and historical record included in the writings of the Book of Mormon. For one thing in the Book of Mormon the connection to Jerusalem and what is now known as the Old Testament records including the books of Genesis, Exodus and so on were kept on 'plates of brass' and passed from generation to generation and which were considered sacred. Writings on the walls of most temples it is safe to say typically are sacred and considered worth featuring upon such a monumental undertaking as the greatest pyramid by volume known to exist anywhere in the world. This is an example of an extremely significant historical discovery that needs to be preserved and studied further. It would be tragic to lose another wonder of the world and the richness of what it means to humanity to greed, nature or other forces. Far too much has already been lost in regard the many cultures and especially Mayan culture. One of the greatest civilizations ever to exist and one which dominated this hemisphere. CNN

  • Ahh, you put your comments on approval only; the hallmark of a coward.

    If you really had faith, you wouldn't care what people said, even if it made sense.

    No wonder you hide.

  • @Xunkun Ahh, you judge others you do not even know based upon what? You name call a complete stranger based upon...? I actually have posted and approved all manner of comments and since you don't know me how would you know anything about me? Allow me to respond...this is my channel and I screen comments depending on validity, language and repetition(including spam). There is nothing more annoying and so you see there are more reasons than that of "cowardice".

  • @vendeta912 that is awesome love to go there!!!

  • @jamesaellis you can go there!!! I have crystal clear photos that I've taken of the Popol Vuh to prove it.. just last year.

  • You cannot simply walk into Mirador.

  • Is it possible to go there and help. Od give anything!

  • @likeatoad It angers me to know that the Spanish Catholics did that to the cultures of the Americas. Although we still kept small traces, there is a lot more to be discovered of the Mayans, Aztecs, and others. But then again, it happens, and they should have defeated the Spaniards.

  • So wait.... you mean to tell me that there was a large and ancient civilation in the exact place and time that the "fabricated" Book of Mormon said there was?! No kidding.
