Honduras -- The Mayan Ruins of Copan 4

While the size of the mound pictured above is too small to be the remains of another pyramid, I took it because, according to what our guide told us, this provides an insight into what the first archeologists coming to Copan found in the way of Mayan remains. While the area around Copan is not quite the tropical jungle in the way the areas around other outposts of the Mayan Civilization are, it still does foster a profuse plant life. Thus this shot demonstrates in real life terms what the model I showed yesterday was trying to depict. These objects were pretty well hidden by the time someone came upon them.
