Mayan Pyramid in Belize Bulldozed by Road Crews for Gravel
Archeologists were horrified to learn road crews had nearly completely demolished a Mayan pyramid in Belize because they were “too lazy to find a proper quarry.”
At around 60 feet tall, a 2,300-year-old temple in northern Belize is almost completely destroyed after bulldozers and backhoes ripped through its walls to extract gravel for road-building projects.
According to Jaime Awe, the head of the Belize Institute of Archaeology, there was no mistake made, as the ancient pyramid stands in a landscape that is naturally flat.
“These guys knew that this was an ancient structure. It’s just bloody laziness,” Awe told the Associated Press.
Fellow archaeologist John Morris shared Awe’s sentiments, saying the destruction of this pyramid was “an incredible display of ignorance,” and “I’m appalled.”
According to USA Today:
The complex, which was first recorded by Europeans in 1897, covers about 12 square miles in the middle of a privately owned sugar cane field in the Orange Walk district. All pre-Hispanic ruins are protected by federal law.
Police are now investigating the construction company, D-Mar Construction, responsible for destruction of the ancient site and have stopped the excavation. The company owner claims he “knew nothing about the project.”
