Hundreds of years ago, during the height of the Mayans’ rule in Guatemala, someone was buried in a huge tomb filled with “extraordinary” and “rare” offerings. The burial barely survived an aggressive looting campaign, which included extensive underground tunnels that allowed robbers to unearth ancient artifacts left by the Mayans. It stayed hidden by the jungle for nearly 1,700 years. That is until now, according to archaeologists from Tulane University in New Orleans.
