Description | Lubaantun archaeology - rapid tropical growth |
Details |
The dramatic effects of rapid vegetation growth on archaeological sites. The amphitheatre grand stands at the ancient Maya ruins of Lubaantun in British Honduras(today Belize) are nearly obscured entirely just 10 months on when the expedition team return in 1926. This is how 'lost' cities become lost!
