Mayan Tombs

Mayan tombs are burial sites built for ancient Maya rulers and elites, often elaborately decorated and located within pyramid-temples or underground chambers. These tombs typically contain carvings, artifacts, and treasures meant to honor the deceased and ensure their journey to the afterlife. They offer valuable insights into Mayan culture, religion, and social hierarchy. Excavations reveal skilled craftsmanship and complex rituals, reflecting the importance of the dead in Mayan society and their beliefs about the spiritual realm.
