Imagine if all the great #Maya pyramids & temples looked more like this. 🤔 Not just plain grey stone, but covered with elaborate stucco work in vivid colors. ❤️💛💚

This is one of the layers archaeologists discovered beneath the pyramid at #Copan. 😮 Thanks to being covered for about 1,400 years, it is incredibly well preserved, with stucco and even paint intact. 😱

This is probably how they all were - brilliant cities, dazzling to behold. 🤯
