Reply to TIL that the ancient Mayan city of Caracol in modern-day Belize was founded in 1200 BCE, held more than double the population of the largest current day city in Belize (of 61,461), and the one of its temples, Caana, built ~9th century CE, is still the tallest building in the country today. by embrace-monke
Never been to Caracol but Xubantunich was cool af to visit. Belize is a beautiful place with some really deep history.
