[Eldorado]

"Hundreds of Mayan artefacts have been found in a lake in Guatemala by underwater archaeologists.

These include a stone mace head which could be related to the final battle that saw Guatemala being colonised by the Spanish, the researchers said.

The haul also found tools like glass blades that indicate rituals of blood sacrifice, say the research team. "
