Dusk settles over the Temple of the Masks, temple 2, in the grand plaza of Tikal, guatemala, as seen from the North Acropolis


Dusk falls on the Temple of the Masks and the north acropolis of Tikal's Great Plaza, a beautiful example of the architecture and design of ancient Mayan cities. Tikal is a massive complex of Mayan ruins from the 8th Century AD that is only partially uncovered in the northern jungle of Guatemala. This pyramid is found in the central acropolis section, or marketplace, of Tikal City. Tikal is a major tourist attraction and historical destination for those interested in the ancient, complex, and fascinating history of the Maya
