"Dramatic" New Maya Temple Found.

[ThePhantomFlanFlinger]

Some 1,600 years ago, the Temple of the Night Sun was a blood-red beacon visible for miles and adorned with giant masks of the Maya sun god as a shark, blood drinker, and jaguar.Long since lost to the Guatemalan jungle, the temple is finally showing its faces to archaeologists, and revealing new clues about the rivalrous kingdoms of the Maya.

When I was younger I used to wish that when they found and opened one of these old temples they would find a space craft buried there. lol

I'd love them to open a tomb and find Jimmy Hoffa, sitting playing cards with the Mayan Teamster God, Portacargo.

It must be Jimmy Hoffa week as I have seen he's name come up often the last few days.

The 2012 Mayan prophecy is actually... the Return of the Hoffa! lol

Remarkable. I'd love to be one of the people who unearth places such as this.
