    Some interesting articles on Mayan Reservoirs and water control, specifically in the city of Tikal

    This had a big impact on their ability to grow enormous populations within their cities.

    Mayan altar:

    118308925_1770737219740892_3474592862829640907_o.jpg

    With people for scale; way bigger than I expected.

    Three very similar Mayan glyphs (link):

    820_00_1.jpg

    Each of these items tended to use jaguar skins in order to make/cover them.
