Bonampak

Bonampak is an ancient Maya archaeological site, setting in the dense jungle of Chiapas. It dates to the Early Classic period (ca. A.D. 580 to 800). The site spent most of the classic period under the influence of Yaxchilan, that is approximately 30 km away and close to the border with Guatemala. Bonampak is well-known for its astonishing frescoes inside the Templo de las Pinturas (Structure 1). Stories of how the site was revealed in 1946 are full of mystery. First time it was seen by Non-Mayans was by two American travellers, led to the ruins by a Lacandón. Later in 1946 the American photographer Giles Healey came with a native and found the Templo de las Pinturas with its famous murals. The paintings show the story of a single battle and its victorious outcome.
