Aguada Fénix, the Newly Discovered Maya Ceremonial Center

The archaeologists used LiDAR technology to map out the site and later create this three-dimensional image. The plateau measures about 1400 meters long by 400 meters wide, and it is so far the largest known structure built by Maya civilization. Scientists suspect it served as a ceremonial site on special calendrical dates. Several buildings, plazas, and reservoirs have been discovered nearby the ceremonial plateau, as well as nine walkways.
