EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Tikal temple II, also known as the temple of the masks, which dates back to the 7th to 8th century. Located in Tikal, Peten, Guatemala, this ancient Mayan structure is a testament to the rich history and architectural brilliance of the Mayan civilization. The temple gets its name from the intricate stone masks adorning its façade. These beautifully carved masks represent deities or important figures in Mayan mythology and provide a glimpse into their religious beliefs and cultural practices. In this photograph captured by Luisa Ricciarini, we are treated to an exterior view of Temple II against a backdrop of lush greenery. The composition allows us to appreciate both its grandeur and harmonious integration with nature. Notably, in the background stands Temple I or the Temple of the Great Jaguar, another iconic structure that symbolizes power and authority within Mayan society. Together, these temples form part of an archaeological site that continues to fascinate researchers and visitors alike. Ricciarini's skillful photography captures not only these remarkable architectural feats but also evokes a sense of wonder at the ingenuity and creativity displayed by our ancestors. This image serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring quest for knowledge about our past civilizations.
