Mayan Pyramid In Belize Leveled By Construction Crew
An anonymous reader writes "If an imposing 2300-year old Mayan temple situated at the Nohmul complex in northern Belize was on your list of things to see before you die, you're too late. The monument was essentially destroyed by a construction crew in order to provide gravel for road construction. Archaeologists expressed shock, as Nohmul (the "great mound") was a major Mayan religious center in its day. While the pyramid was situated on private property, such historical sites are supposedly protected by ordinance, and officials may file criminal charges."
...they want their pyramid back.
The mayan date was right but the work crew fell behind
It's not like they planned on using it after 2012.
Too late, I have pictures of the Sphinx being destroyed ...

I think you are mixing up sphinx and sphincter.
Officials are calling for calm amid reports that feathered serpent attacks are up 39% from historical baselines...
Here, I found of recent picture of Nohmul for you.
Fortunately, thanks to 22nd amendment, he was only able to serve two terms.
I prefer that he does use the ethnic slur -- as well as the personal attacks, foul language, anger, and hate -- that way we immediately know his age (teenager), and therefore his credibility (zero). This makes slashdot more efficient for those of us who come here for knowledge.
In other words, if he was polite and courteous, I would need to spend more time and effort on evaluating his position. The anger and hate reduces my workload.
Wow.
You French people are touchy.
Why is it so hard to only have politicians for a few years, then have them go away?
