1. Title: Quiriguá Estela, a Pride of Maya Art and History in Guatemala's Archaeological Park Quiriguá Estela, a magnificent piece of Maya art and history, is a captivating sight in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the same name in Guatemala. This archaeological park, located in the department of Izabal, was designated a World Heritage Site in 1981, recognizing its significant cultural value. The Estela, with its intricate relief carvings, dates back to 761 A.D., marking the Classic Period of the Maya civilization. This detail image showcases the Estela F, which is a testament to the advanced artistic skills and the deep religious beliefs of the ancient Maya people. The Estela stands proudly in the central plaza of Quiriguá, surrounded by other impressive structures, including the Temple of the Sun Dial and the Temple of the Jaguar Pedestal. The site is a treasure trove of pre-Columbian, prehispanic, and prespanish history, offering valuable insights into the lives, beliefs, and rituals of the ancient Maya civilization. The Estela's relief depicts various figures, some believed to represent rulers or deities, engaged in religious ceremonies. The round base of the Estela is adorned with intricate patterns and symbols, further adding to its allure.
