One of the largest Maya settlements is hidden in the green jungle. There are artificial ponds, a field for a ball game, and palaces. But special attention is given to the pyramids, forming the town squares. They were built in a temporary pattern corresponding to the periods of its development. There are many theories about their functions: religious buildings, research centers, cemeteries, or all of the above. The etymology of the name ’Tikal’ is also unclear. But there’s a clear ’nickname’ - the City of Voices. Even a whisper there echoes hollowly.
