Archaeologists in Guatemala have discovered the ruins of a 3,000-year-old Maya city featuring “remarkable” architecture, including pyramids and monuments, that shed more light on the ancient civilisation.
The ancient city named “Los Abuelos” – Spanish for “The Grandparents” – once stood about 21km from the archaeological site of Uaxactun in Guatemala’s northern Peten department, the culture ministry said in a statement on Thursday.
