Tikal (/tiˈkäl/) (Tik’al in modern Mayan orthography) is the ruins of an ancient city found in a rainforest in Guatemala. Ambrosio Tut, a gum-sapper, reported the ruins to La Gaceta, a Guatemalan newspaper, which named the site Tikal. After the Berlin Academy of Sciences' magazine republished the report in 1853, archeologists and treasure hunters began visiting the forest. Today tourism to the site may help protect the rainforest. It is one of the largest archaeological sites and urban centers of the pre-Columbian Maya civilization. It is located in the archaeological region of the Petén Basin in what is now northern Guatemala. Situated in the department of El Petén, the site is part of Guatemala's Tikal National Park and in 1979 it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Tikal was the capital of a conquest state that became one of the most powerful kingdoms of the ancient Maya. Though monumental architecture at the site dates back as far as the 4th century BC, Tikal reached its apogee during the Classic Period, c. 200 to 900 AD. During this time, the city dominated much of the Maya region politically, economically, and militarily, while interacting with areas throughout Mesoamerica such as the great metropolis of Teotihuacan in the distant Valley of Mexico. There is evidence that Tikal was conquered by Teotihuacan in the 4th century AD. Following the end of the Late Classic Period, no new major monuments were built at Tikal and there is evidence that elite palaces were burned. These events were coupled with a gradual population decline, culminating with the site’s abandonment by the end of the 10th century.

La legendaria ciudad de Tikal será la primero que veamos en la segunda parte del documental "Guatemala. Corazón del Mundo Maya". Descubriremos con asombro que en su época de esplendor esta región estaba habitada por varios millones de personas y que a pesar de carecer de herramientas de metal ni de ingenios como la polea o incluso la rueda, pudiesen realizar tamaños colosos arquitectónicos. Cerca de allí conoceremos el lago Peten Itza y la Isla de Flores donde se halla la capital del departamento del Petén. Nuestro recorrido prosigue por la Sierra de las Minas. Allí sabremos que en el valle del río Motagua los Mayas extraían algo muy especial para ellos: el jade. En un taller de la Antigua Guatemala veremos como se sigue trabajando el jade para tallar joyas y esculturas, y en su museo disf...

Como es frecuente el caso con grandes ruinas antiguas, el conocimiento del sitio nunca se perdió completamente en la región. Algunos apuntes de segunda o tercera mano aparecen impresos comenzando en el siglo XVII, y continuando con los escritos de John Lloyd Stephens a principios del siglo XIX. Debido a lo remoto que se encuentra de las ciudades modernas, sin embargo, ninguna expedición científica visitó Tikal sino hasta 1848. Fue reportada en 1848, por Modesto Méndez y Ambrosio Tut, corregidor y gobernador de Petén, respectivamente. Eusebio Lara acompañó esta primera expedición para elaborar las primeras ilustraciones de los monumentos. Muchas otras expediciones llegaron para seguir investigando, dibujando mapas, y fotografiando Tikal en los siglos XIX y XX. En 1853, posterior a la pu...
Ashes of love cold as ice you made the debt I'll pay the price
Our love is gone there's no doubt ashes of love the flames burned out
[ steel ]
The love light that shines in your eyes has gone out to my surprise
We said goodbye my heart bled I can't revive your love is dead
Ashes of love...
[ steel - fiddle ]
I trusted dear our love would stand your every wish was my command
My heart tells me I must forget I loved you then I love you yet
Ashes of love...
