Ancient City of Tikal, Guatemala [Amazing Places 4K]

Tikal was the capital of a great Maya city-state, one of the most powerful kingdoms of the ancient Maya. Today Tikal is a site of expansive Mayan ruins deep in the jungle, in the rainforests of northern Guatemala. Tikal became an important ceremonial center between 300 . and 100 C.E. and reached its apogee between 300 and 850 C.E., with its great plazas, pyramids, and palaces. By 900 A.D., after hundreds of years of prosperity, like many of the other Mayan states, the great city of Tikal collapsed (although some cities like Chichen Itza, continued to flourish for centuries). Tikal is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Recorded November 2021 in 4K Ultra HD with Sony AX700 and Osmo Pocket 2. Sound in the video: original natural sounds of the jungle, recorded in Tikal National Park.
