I'm going to Panama, Honduras, and Guatemala in January.

Copan in Honduras and Tikal in Guatemala will be the main focus points.

One of the great mysteries of the Mayan civilization is that their culture remained relatively unchanged for over 2,000 years. They kept the same language, gods, and writing system despite being made up of waring feudalist city states.

Nowhere else in the world is that true.

Dr. Michael Coe, my favorite Maya expert, thinks Copan was the key to that continuity.
