I'm assuming that this pyramid was not discovered last year.

Yeah they shouldn't have done it, but what I'm wondering, is why haven't archeologists ever gotten around to studying the site, searching for artifacts, etc. before now?

Don't know why all these tree-huggers are getting pissed, it's just a pile of rocks.

Not even trees

Not to say that we shouldn't do everything possible to preserve ancient sites like this.. But this site wasn't exactly a "Temple" like most people would imagine when thinking of that. It was just a mound of rocks. No secret rooms, and no elaborate structures. There wasn't really anything else to be learned from this site. No further study was really necessary. So preserving this would have been just for historic sentimental purposes.

You could make the same argument about the Great Pyramid in Egypt too, though. "Historic sentiment" is also known as culture and identity, which is why it's illegal to bulldoze pre-Hispanic structures in Belize, even if they're on private property, as this one was.

Also, see that hole in the rock, near the top? That was a secret room.

You're really comparing this to the Great Pyramid?

Cause that doesn't work.....

They probably would have built a more impressive structure if they had a better road nearby.

You know they built the Superdome in New Orleans on top of an old cemetery.

They even moved the bodies before they started construction.

See what it did to the Saints for 43 years?

This was done in Ancient rome too - I remember seeing the places in the marble pillars where they would cut into it and some half standing ruins / structures

History repeating

Based on those pics Fish posted, I'd say they ****ed up no matter what. Even if it were no longer culturally significant and offered no more knowledge to be attained, there isn't a ****ing thing on either side of that pyramid. Seems to me they could have easy made the road a football field in either direction and saved the site.

I didn't read the article so maybe I missed something.

No one is saying it was in the way. They wanted the limestone for road-building material. Hell, even the thread title pretty much said that.

This is El Jefe's fault. He was stealing rocks to build his custom house he's been yammering on about.
