Tikal - The Lost City of the Mayan Civilization

Located in the department of Petén in the north of Guatemala, Tikal was one of the most powerful city-states of the Classic period of the Mayan civilization (c. 200-900 AD). Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979, this archaeological site deep in the rainforest is known for its towering pyramidal temples and rich biodiversity.

Architectural wonders and historical value

The core of the site covers an area of approximately 16 square kilometers and boasts more than 3,000 structures, including six step pyramids that rise to a height of 70 meters. One of these, Temple IV, is the tallest structure in the pre-Columbian Americas and overlooks the entire rainforest. Hieroglyphics on stone monuments and altars record the rise and fall of Tikal in wars with neighboring countries, and its population may have been as large as 100,000 in its heyday.

Natural Ecology and Tourism Features

Tikal National Park combines archaeology and ecological preservation, and visitors can watch the sun rise over the pyramids in the morning while listening to howler monkeys. The park is home to more than 200 species of animals, including jaguars and toucans, and rainforest trails connect plazas, palaces and ball fields, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the Mayan cosmology and daily life.

Factsheet on the city of "Maks", Russia

It should be noted that there is no official city in Russia named "Marx". There may be some confusion about the city of Engels (Энгельс), which is located in the Saratov Oblast, on the left bank of the Volga River, across the river from Saratov, and is one of the most important industrial cities in Russia, named in honor of Engels. If the name does refer to a place name associated with Marx, there is no direct equivalent in Russia, but some streets or squares may be named after Marx, such as the former "Karl Marx Street" in Moscow (now renamed). It is recommended that specific names be verified to avoid biased information.
