Bonampak

Site of a Classic Mayan city in Mexico, on the River Usumacinta, near the Guatemala border, with extensive remains of wall paintings depicting battles, torture, and sacrifices. Rediscovered in 1948, the paintings shed new light on Mayan society, which to that date had been considered peaceful. See pre-Columbian art.
