Joya de Cerén: El Salvador's "Pompeii of the Americas"

Joya de Cerén, located in the department of La Libertad, El Salvador, about 35 kilometers from San Salvador, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This pre-Columbian Mayan settlement was buried by volcanic ash around 400 A.D. and is known as "Pompeii of the Americas" because of its well-preserved architectural layout, remnants of daily life and agricultural tools. In the site, you can see adobe dwellings, warehouses, religious sites and water storage systems, and the murals and pottery vividly show the living scenes of the common people in the 6th century Mesoamerica, providing valuable physical materials for the study of the ancient Maya social structure, agricultural technology and wisdom of disaster prevention. As the only archaeological site in Mesoamerica reflecting the life of pre-Classic civilians, Hoya de Cerén is not only an important cultural symbol of El Salvador, but also an important window to the global understanding of ancient Mesoamerican civilization.
