    Found a few water-themed looking ruins/temples:

    I like the Lilly pads at the bottom of this one:

    Not sure where this temple mock-up is from, wish I could find it with better detail.

    Some more temple art, this time some floaty ones:

    Statue:

    3c0b09414ad04b96fd288f6f6d5559c5.jpg

    This one is definitely not anything Mesoamerican, but I imagine the world tree looking something like this:

    49ae4fcb9811b545b463224609156200.jpg

    Pretty cool concept art, to include the pathways at the base.

    That's very stylish!
    Would love to see it as a motorcycle helmet.

    Greetings

    Im looking for a language school near Lake Atitlan where I can learn a Mayan language, preferably tzotzil. Any help you can provide in helping me find this would be much appreciated

    If you are talking ancient Mayan, I'm afraid you might be relegated to books.

    If you are talking current era tribe dialect, I'd consult either a tribal/community chief or a historically based linguist.

    I have never heard of this place before! It looks like a language camp?

    I went to Concordia Language Villages in Minnesota as a kid for German camp, never heard of one in Guatemala before. Do they teach Mayan as well as Spanish?

    I would say google and the internet is your best bet; I am mostly just a Mayan art enthusiast and don't know and ancient Mayan except for what I have picked up in books about glyphs and such.

    That last one reminds me of the Sylvari city in Guild Wars 2.

    As for languages.... man I think I'd love to learn a bit of Nahuatl. In Shadow of the Tomb Raider some characters talk like that and I think the language has a very nice sound to it.

    That would be interesting too.

    I watched a few lets-plays of the new Tomb Raider; while the jungle itself is GORGEOUS as are much of the ruins, the mayincatec combination of various cultures was a bit jarring for me. Native descendants of the ancient Mayans, speaking an Aztec language in a long-lost Incan city :confused:
