El Mirador Basin Preserve - Guatemala, Petén Named one of the 10 top Archeological finds of 2009, this frieze at a Mayan reservoir tells the story of Mayan creation. The plaster panel dates to approximately 200 B.C. and depicts the mythical hero twins, Hunaphu and Xbalanque, swimming into the underworld to retrieve the decapitated head of their father. The detail of the figures is amazing to see in person.
