The Americas are covered with Mayan, Aztec, and other ruins. Guatemala has some of the greatest Mayan ruins; Tikal is one of them. This is Temple I, which is also known as the Temple of Ah Cacao or Temple of the Great Jaguar. The temple was built in approximately 695 A.D. Tikal has thousands of ancient structures, but most of them have not yet been excavated. Six of the excavated structures are very large pyramids labeled Temples I - VI, each pyramid has a temple on the top. The tallest pyramids are over 60 meters high.
Tikal was the largest Mayan city of its era. Tikal was without springs, rivers, and lakes, leaving the Mayans to store seasonal rainfall. A prolonged drought probably caused this city to collapse. If you watch movies, you may have seen Tikal in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Tikal was used for background scenery for the Rebel base on Yavin 4. Tikal was also the exterior of Drax's pyramid headquarters in the Amazon rainforest in Moonraker, which was the 11th James Bond movie and came out in 1979 with Roger Moore as James Bond.
