Nim Li Punit

Visit the royal observatory of Nim Li Punit, designed by ancient astrologers for alignment with the summer solstice and the spring and fall equinox. From their palace the powerful rulers could survey the entire valley of their civilization below, even at times as far as the Caribbean waters. The view is breathtaking and exhilarating.

This unique stellae at Nim Li Punit is remarkably well preserved, one of the clearest in existence.

The piece was discovered with its surface was face down in the soft soil, protecting it from exposure to centuries of rain and wind.
