Oldest Mayan mural found


Mural Dating from 100 A.D., this Guatemalan mural is the oldest intact painting of Mayan mythology ever found - the previous oldest were the Bonampak murals (in Mexico, 790 AD)

The 4-foot (1.219 metre) long mural comprised possibly only 10 percent of a massive wall painting in a room whose dimensions were still unclear. The site, which also includes an 80-foot high pyramid, have been known to looters for years, but archaeologists have only just visited it.

Reports from Reuters and Christian Science Monitor
