Ancient Maya kingdom unearthed in a backyard in Mexico


Associate professor of anthropology Charles Golden and his colleagues have found the long-lost capital of an ancient Maya kingdom in the backyard of a Mexican cattle rancher.

Among their findings is a trove of Maya monuments, one of which has an important inscription describing rituals, battles, a mythical water serpent and the dance of a rain god. They've also found remnants of pyramids, a royal palace and ball court.

Golden and his fellow researchers believe the archaeological site, named Lacanja Tzeltal for the nearby modern community, was the capital of the Sak Tz'i' kingdom, located in what is today the state of Chiapas in southeastern Mexico. It was likely first settled by 750 B.C.E. and then occupied for over 1,000 years.

Ghost fish: Sea creature that's almost totally transparent

A diver encounters a ghostly ‘fish’ that’s almost totally transparent in mind-blowing new dive footage. Raniero Borg, who discovered the bizarre creature near Marsalforn, Malta, said he’d never seen anything like it in 40 years of diving. “It looked like a miniature jelly whale or dolphin,” he said. “It had a large mouth and you could see its gut as its body was transparent. It was approx 30cm in length and around 15cm wide. “Its spinal cord and rib-like features showed too. “I was very curious about it. I have never come across anything like this during my 40 years of diving.” In his footage, Mr Borg touches the creature and his hand can clearly be seen through its body. It’s shaped like a fish, with a mouth plainly visible at the front and a tube-like organ observable inside. The 61-year-old diver didn’t know what it was at first. “I thought it was a dolphin or whale foetus,” he said. Now, after consulting contacts at Malta’s International Ocean Institute, he’s disco...
