EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Pre-Columbian art piece, captured in this photograph, showcases the intricate and rich history of the Maya civilization at the archaeological site of Copán, Honduras. The image depicts Altar Q, located on the west side of the site, which was created during the rule of King Yax Pas in 776 AD. The altar is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the Maya people during the Classic period. The altar is adorned with sixteen full-body portraits of Copán's rulers, each seated on a glyph that represents his name. The scene on the altar illustrates Yax Pas, the last ruler of Copán, receiving the torch from the founder of the dynasty, Yax Kuk Mo. This symbolizes the passing of power and the continuity of the Copán dynasty. The intricately sculpted relief on the altar is a masterpiece of Maya art, showcasing the skill and craftsmanship of the artisans of the time. The attention to detail, from the individual features of each ruler's face to the glyphs representing their names, is truly remarkable. This altar, a relic of the ancient world, provides a glimpse into the history and culture of the Maya civilization during the 8th century. It is a reminder of the rich artistic and historical heritage of Mesoamerica and the importance of preserving and celebrating it for future generations.
