And the new research on the maya just keeps coming. The publication Popular Archaeology reports a find at a little known site in northwestern Belize which is called Tulix Mu. From the road it looks like just an area of overgrowth, but it is an ancient Early Classic Maya site that contains evidence of at least two standing vaulted rooms. That's nothing to exciting, but beneath the plaster in one of the rooms, researches have found evidence of a polychrome, fine-line mural. The magazine says the mural style appeared generally similar to that found years before by other archaeologists at San Bartolo in Guatemala. There are only a few other known Maya murals found in Central America.
