Archaeological News

I know it's not Biblical archaeology, but this was my area of interest and I still find it fascinating, especially as I know that there are wonders yet to be discovered, especially in those deep water cenotes.

National Geographic:
Nestled in a quiet forest in Belize, a deep aquamarine pool holds ruins from a time when the ancient Maya turned to a "drought cult," archaeologists suggest, and hurried sacrifices to a water god to try to stave off the fall of their civilization.

There is some wonderful photography that accompanies the article.  No surprise, I suppose, since it's from the Nat Geo folks.
