Tikal Guatemala

The ancient Mayan city of Tikal was rediscovered in the mid 1800s. In the century and a half that has followed, the temples and other buildings of this complex of ruins have slowly been uncovered to reveal a fascinating and mysterious society that helped to shape our modern calendar.

Walking through the ruins and learning about the complexities of this ancient civilization reminds me of the final episodes of the new Battlestar Galactica (yes, I am a nerd), that explored the origins of humanity and our history of destroying and recreating ourselves according to the plan of God.

The first thing I want to do when I get home is watch the movie “2012,” and then I want to sleep for a week.

Guatemala is a beautiful, fascinating country, filled with mystery and spirituality. I guarantee a visit to Guate will change you in ways you can’t imagine!
