A Teotihuacan altar, which archaeologists believe was used for sacrifices, has been unearthed in Tikal National Park in Guatemala, the centre of Mayan civilisation, shedding new light on the interactions between the two ancient cultures.
The discovery, announced by Guatemala’s Culture and Sports Ministry, was made within the ancient city of Tikal - an enormous city-state which battled for centuries with the Kaanul dynasty for dominance of the Maya world.
