Description
🇬🇹 Welcome to Guatemala!
The Ancient Ruins Collection - Mesoamerica is a dedicated subcollection to the legacy of past civilizations in parts of what is present-day Mexico and Central America.
This model was designed by Dany Sánchez.
The Temple of the Great Jaguar, or Temple I, is one of the most recognizable and famous structures in the ancient Mayan city of Tikal, in Petén, northern Guatemala.
This model is available in two versions:
Tikal is one of the largest cities and archaeological sites of the pre-Columbian Maya civilization in Mesoamerica and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Archeologists number or label buildings, this pyramid being designated as "Temple I (one)". It is also is known as the Temple of the Great Jaguar because of a lintel that represents a king sitting upon a jaguar throne. An alternative name is the Temple of Ah Cacao, after the ruler buried in the temple. Temple I is a typical Petén-style limestone stepped pyramid structure crowned by a characteristic roof comb, a distinctive Maya architectural feature. It is dated to approximately 732 AD (from Wikipedia).
