El Mirador is a large pre-Columbian Mayan settlement, located in the north of the modern department of El Petén, Guatemala.
El Mirador was first discovered in 1926, and was photographed from the air in 1930, but the remote site deep in the jungle had little more attention paid to it until Ian Graham spent some time there making the first map of the area in 1962. A detailed investigation was begun in 1978 with an archaeological project under the direction of Bruce Dahlin (The Catholic University of America) and Ray Matheny (Brigham Young University). Dahlin's work focused primarily on the bajo swamps and mapping, while Matheny's team focused primarily on excavations in the site center and architecture. This project ended in 1983. To the surprise of the archaeologists, it was found that a large amount of construction was not contemporary with the large Maya classic cities in the area, like Tikal and Uaxactun, but rather from centuries earlier in the Pre-Classic era (see: Mesoamerican chronology).

After releasing their impressive self titled début a year ago, Sungrazer return with Mirador, an album packed full of fuzzed out riffs, cosmic bass lines and soothing vocals. If your unaware of Sungrazer, imagine Kyuss mixed with Hawkwind via Jimi Hendrix and your only just scratching the surface. Although these guys have been around for a short time, they have proved themselves to be a prominent act on the European Stoner Rock scene, touring with the likes of Colour Haze and Rotor. So is the album any good? Yes it bloody is. There is something intoxicating about their dreamlike vocals, and massive yet laid back sound that is highly infectious. Kicking off the album with style 'Wild Goose' immediately transports the listener to a cosmic plane, with its soft beat and mellow sounds the lis...

According to Richard Hansen, the concentration of large cities in the Mirador Basin in the Middle and Late Preclassic periods (circa 1000 B.C. to A.D. 150) led to the construction of the largest pyramids on the planet, the largest ancient Maya cities, the first "freeway" system in the world and the first true state-level society in the Western Hemisphere.

There's a place where I know,
We can walk in the flowers and weeds where they grow.
But, I left you back there looking far off with the sun on your hair.
By some strange design I feign to believe that this image was mine.
The shape of your hand in a dream I see a mysterious plan.
