The History of the Mayans in Belize

Scattered throughout Belize are the remains of past Mayan civilizations. At one time there were 3-4 X the population that Belize now has, with numerous trade and commercial routes that spanned Central America and Mexico. In the back yard of our clinic in Patchakan, there were the remains of a small Mayan ruin, with characteristic mounds and our kids found a basketful of pottery remains (but no jade!) Here in the PG area it is the same, with several partially excavated sites.
