EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Temple I, nestled amidst the ancient ruins of the Mayan civilization in Tikal National Park, Guatemala. Also known as the Temple of the Great Jaguar, this funerary pyramid stands tall at 154 feet high and is dedicated to Jasaw Chan K'awil, who was entombed within its structure in AD 734. Completed around 740-750, this architectural marvel rises against a backdrop of a clear blue sky and basks in bright sunlight. Tikal National Park itself is an archaeological site that holds great historical significance as it represents the pre-Columbian Maya civilization. Recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 1979, it offers visitors a glimpse into an abandoned city-state once thriving with life and culture. The lush greenery of the surrounding forest adds to the allure of this scene. As one gazes upon Temple I from afar, they are transported back in time to an era when indigenous cultures flourished and kingdoms ruled over vast territories. The stone walls and steep steps leading up to the temple's entrance evoke a sense of mystery and awe. Jon G Fuller's expertly captured image perfectly encapsulates both the grandeur of Mayan architecture and the natural beauty that surrounds it. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and invites us to explore these mesmerizing remnants left behind by an ancient civilization lost in time.
