J3FF3R00 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-202_162-57584279/bulldozers-destroy-mayan-pyramid-in-belize/ Quote In this image released by Jaime Awe, head of the Belize Institute of Archaeology on Monday May 13, 2013, a backhoe claws away at the sloping sides of the Nohmul complex, one of Belize's largest Mayan pyramids on May 10, 2013 in northern Belize. Belize City - A construction company has essentially destroyed one of Belize's largest Mayan pyramids with backhoes and bulldozers to extract crushed rock for a road-building project, authorities announced on Monday. The head of the Belize Institute of Archaeology, Jaime Awe, said the destruction at the Nohmul complex in northern Belize was detected late last week. The ceremonial center dates back at least 2,300 years and is the most important site in northern Belize, near the border with Mexico. "It's a feeling of Incredible disbelief because of the ignorance and the insensitivity ... they were using this for road fill," Awe said. "It's like being punched in the stomach, it's just so horrendous."

SR4 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 wealth- something lazy welfare leeches refuse to gain by their own toil and sweat. ok I gotta stop being sarcastic. this is pretty ridiculous, especially considering the apparent obviousness of the building compared to the terrain it inhabits. hopefully this company gets fucked over promptly.

Deepex Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Little one or not! This is a very reasonable point:"Just to realize that the ancient Maya acquired all this building material to erect these buildings, using nothing more than stone tools and quarried the stone, and carried this material on their heads, using tump lines," said Awe. "To think that today we have modern equipment, that you can go and excavate in a quarry anywhere, but that this company would completely disregard that and completely destroyed this building. Why can't these people just go and quarry somewhere that has no cultural significance? It's mind-boggling."Seriously.... what the fuck humanity!? Can we please just get it together. Pleeease? Nothing is sacred anymore...

The Japanese are just now managing to make a silicon cube to be an "indestructible" storage device that can with stand extremely high temperatures. The skull may already be such a device.

Guest Atom Dowry Firth Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Quote Norman Hammond, an emeritus professor of archaeology at Boston University who worked on Belizean research projects in the 1980s, wrote in an email that "bulldozing Maya mounds for road fill is an endemic problem in Belize (the whole of the San Estevan centre has gone, both of the major pyramids at Louisville, other structures at Nohmul, many smaller sites), but this sounds like the biggest yet".

Terpentintollwut Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Ironically, the Mayans themselves probably wouldn't have hesitated knocking down and harvesting the structures of some even more ancient culture to build their temples with. Still, this is sick and stupid and a couple hundred years of archeology should have taught even the dumbest construction company how wrong this is ...
