For centuries the magnificent ruins of the ancient Maya civilization have fascinated mankind. With its intriguing temples and spellbinding architecture, Maya ruins in Belize have attracted generations of vacationers as well as archaeologists, explorers and history lovers.

It is believed that Mayans had discovered and used the zero even before the Europeans. Their magnificent, breathtaking architecture is awe-inspiring. Several archaeological sites are open to the public and four of them are most visited by the public. Let’s discuss some of the more famous Mayan structures in Belize:

Altun Ha

Located north of Belize City, Altun Ha is called water of the rock. The ruins of Altun Ha are famous for various reasons. The largest and unique Jade head sculpture of Kinich Ahau which symbolizes the Maya’s Sun God, was found here during excavations.

During the Classic Period (from 250 to 900 A.D), Altun Ha was the main ceremonial center as well as a key trading center connecting the Caribbean shores with Maya’s prime areas. The largest temple of the Masonry Altars in Altun Ha is 54 feet high. Altun Ha is a favorite to many who vacation in Belize.

El Pilar

Visited by many vacationers, El Pilar is unique in that it has only been partially excavated to intentionally allow visitors to experience the vastness of the jungle that has overcome this once large and important site. The site is on the Belize-Guatemala border with entry to the site being only 7 miles from Bullet Tree Falls, Cayo District.

El Pilar consists of several excavated chambers and court yards that are open to visitors, as well as many temples and mounds left as they were discovered. El Pilar is also popular with birders on a Belize vacation and the Emerald Toucanet is commonly sighted. In the canopy Howler Monkeys can be observed lounging tranquilly. El Pilar is an excellent choice for those on a Belize vacation in or around San Ignacio.

Caracol

This a very popular site with Belize vacationers. Surrounded by jungle, the ruins of Caracol contain enormous structures, haunting tombs and fascinating carvings which give a glimpse of the people who lived in this intriguing city. Caracol, meaning snail, was discovered in 1938 though its excavation started only in 1985. The largest pyramid in Caracol, the Canaa, standing at 140 feet, is the tallest man-made structure in Belize.

Caracol is in the Cayo District. Many tour guides are available to take you to this fantastic Mayan site. If your Belize vacation is taking you to the Cayo District, Caracol would be a great choice to visit.

Lubaatun

This is an interesting site in the south of Belize. It is noted for the curvature of it architecture that was amazingly assembled without mortar. Lubaatun is also in the center of the Crystal Skull controversy. A British explorer allegedly discovered a crystal skull at this site in the 1920’s. To this day modern science is unable to duplicate such a skull. The largest structure at Lubaantún rises 36 feet above the plaza floor. From the summit of this structure there is a beautiful view of the foothills of the Maya Mountains and the Toledo coastal plains. The center of the site lies along a ridge top twenty miles from the sea. In contrast to other sites, the Maya of Lubaantún took to shaping the ridges and slopes of the hilltop rather then leveling it off. The ceremonial center of this site has 11 major structures grouped around five main plazas. While on your Belize Vacation Lubaatun is a must see.

Xunantunich

It is known as Maiden of the Rock. The 135-foot tower “El Castillo” in Xunantunich is the second tallest structure in Belize after Canaa in Caracol. Xunantunich is a short drive from San Ignacio and is near the Belize-Guatemala border. It is a favorite of thousands of Belize vacationers every year. The site is well cared for and a great place to learn of the mysterious Mayan and have a great day exploring. From atop El Castillo you can gaze across miles of beautiful jungle and into Guatemala. Another favorite of visitors to the site is the ride across the Mopan River on a hand cranked auto ferry.

These are many more Maya ruins in Belize. Whenever you are on vacation in Belize make it a point to explore the magnificent structures and architecture of Maya ruins. Allow reliable and efficient Belize Vacation Planners to provide a great vacation packages and to arrange a comfortable hotel or vacation rental in Belize for you.

Belize is very easy to reach. In fact major airlines such as American, Continental, US Air, Delta, and Taca Airlines run daily flights of about two hours from several U.S. cities to Belize International Airport.

Belize is a year around destination.

Any tour to Italy in search of art and culture must take in the unforgettable and ancient ruins of Pompeii, only a few hours from Italy’s capital city Rome. Follow in the footsteps of the British gentility on Grand Tour with a trip to the Gulf of Naples where you can find a culture that was captured forever in the towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD79.

Pompeii, once a popular tourist destination for the ancient Romans, is now one of the most popular tourist sites in Italy and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. When Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD79, devastating the towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum, these ancient cities were buried, preserved and lost under thick layers of ash. This natural event that devastated the towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum now offer tourists the opportunity to see how people lived, and died, two thousand years ago.

Pompeii is now an outdoor museum and an excavation site that provides an exciting archaeological journey into Roman life in the 1st century. The Roman settlement, once lost under almost 60 feet of ash and pumice, was rediscovered in 1748. Since then numerous excavations have unearthed many rare discoveries including well-preserved frescoes showing what everyday life was like for its doomed inhabitants.

Even if you’re not interested in history the Pompeii site is a fascinating find. Providing a time capsule of Roman life and architecture, the excavated town includes cobbles streets, grand houses, villas, baths and a brothel. The baths contain stuccoed vaults with preserved images of nymphs and cupids while the Forum shows where the civic, commercial, political and religious heart of the town was located.

From the ruling class down to slaves, no one in the city was spared after Vesuvius erupted. As ash and soot covered the city, people and animals were frozen in time. Giuseppe Fiorelli, the director of one of Pompeii’s many excavations instructed workers to pour liquid plaster into cavities left in the ashes by decomposed bodies. These plaster casts show incredible detail of the people of Pompeii in their last moments.

If you wish to visit Pompeii, then it often proves a good idea to take one of the many tours offered once you arrive from your flights to Rome. From Rome’s Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) airport, take either a taxi or the train to Rome’s Termini Station and then the Eurostar to Naples.

The Circumvesuviana is one of Naples’ suburban rail services which runs around the base of Mount Vesuvius and connects its nearby cities. The ancient site of Pompeii is just 100 metres from the Pompei Scavi train which can be found half-way along the Circumvesuviana line.

Site prep is the best term that is used to describe the operations necessary to make raw land ready to accept improvements such as buildings, parking lots, roads, and other amenities. Once the project has been completed, the site prep is invisible.

The term site prep is a broad term that can include several different tasks, such as clearing and grubbing, soil erosion, sediment control, storm drains, water and sewer pipes, topsoil stripping, rock removal, underground utility, and several other tasks.

Soil erosion and management

To protect the quality of the water, soil erosion and sediment control measures are vital. With most locations, storm water permitting is required. All erosion and sediment control measures and devices must be in place and inspected before the first tree drops or first shovel full of dirt is removed.

The designs for storm water management systems are becoming more and more complex. The detension basins have complex and spiraling side slopes and bottoms that have almost flat grades.

Clearing

The limits of clearing can be marked with a GPS dozer. By following the outline of the display in the cab, the bulldozer can cut a path through the wooded area so other equipment will have a clear line to go by.

The traditional method used to clear debris, such as burning, is rapidly fading away. The air pollution standards will prevent any type of burning of most areas across the United States.

Site prep made easy

Depending on the job site, what you have to do will vary greatly. With excavation, what is needed to complete a job is as different as night and day. No matter what type of work you are doing, it will almost always require the use of heavy machinery.

Clearing lots for houses, grading roads, laying pipe, fixing water leaks, and digging foundations are just some of the most common tasks found with the art of excavation. To do this type of work, it takes a special individual as work is outdoors year round, meaning that you freeze in the winter and burn up in the summer.

Laying pipe is a task that takes skill. You first must dig the trench for the pipe, making sure that the elevation is right, and that the pipe will meet the specifications listed in the blueprints. There are several different types of pipe that needs to be layed, including water, sewer, and storm drains.

When you first begin your job, you’ll need to have the proper permits from the area that you are going to be disturbing the ground in. Once you have the proper permits, you can begin your work. With some jobs, you’ll need to document on paper just how much land you disturb each day.  

Sometimes with excavation, the job site and plans will call for ponds or temporary ponds. This can be fun to do, although you have to be careful as well. Very common with sub divisions, ponds are something that take a lot of skill to dig right.

Manholes are something else that you will encounter as well. You can use machinery to set them in place, although they will need to go a certain way. The easiest way to put them in place is by using an excavator, as you can lower it down and have a couple of workers set it in place.

Anytime you are working on an excavation site, you should always be careful and make sure you do things by the book. There are always rules and regulations that you need to follow. Excavation is a very fun trade, although you’ll need to be well versed with following plans, running machinery, and having fun outdoors.

The area covered by the site is huge, so huge that although archeologists first began work here in 1890 and have continued intermittently throughout this century, the site is still only partially excavated. Networks of roads run across it, none signposted, and it can be fairly easy to lose your way, and difficult to get an overview as the site is so flat. A few minutes studying the map will help. Cars have recently been banned from driving through the site, so be prepared for some lengthy walking under a blisteringly hot sun. Bring comfortable shoes, suntan lotion and a sunhat; the flat landscape offers precious little shade. Go weel equipped with liquid refreshments, too or else you may find yourself hallucinating that the marble basins in the gymnasium are still sparkling with cool water. If out don’t fancy walking much, don’t be put off coming altogether: the main sites are right next to the entrance and car park where you leave the car.

The site is open daily 08:00-18:00. note that the only entrance into the site now is the northern side entrance on the coast; the former main entrance, opposite the turn-off for St Barnabas is no longer open. The site is open for ticket sales from 08.00 to 15.30 but the site stays open until after dusk to let you leave at your leisure. It takes about two to three hours to visit the major parts of the site, but you could easily spend a whole day here if you wanted to explore the site exhaustively-much of it spent walking between different excavated areas. If you are coming from the Girne area and only have a day to devote to Gazima?usa, then drive on to Salamis for lunch at the pleasant seaside restaurants beside the entrance-through you’ll probably make separate visits to Salamis and the other sites close by. Recommended times for visits would be three to four hours for Salamis, two hours for the Tombs of the Kings and St Barnabas Monastery, and one hour for Enkomi.

Touring Salamis

Heading north out of Gazima?usa towards Salamis, you pass, near the outskirts of town, a busy area with lots of cafes and pizza restaurants full of young people. Directly opposite is the reason-the Eastern Mediterranean University, North Cyprus’s major university, offering degree courses in sciences, engineering, management and economics. The medium of instruction is English. The road continues north past a most ridiculously ostentations new nightclub, adorned with leaping lions and bugling cherubs, reaching Salamis after about 5km (3 miles or so). Driving past the previous main entrance on your right, take the signposted road running along the northern edge of the site, which brings you out at the beach by the pleasant restaurant raised up and in winter the indoor seating area is warm and cosy. Simple fare is on offer, like curry, kebabs and steak, and can be washed down with beer or wine.

Climbing back into the car, you then drive between the restaurant and the shore to the ticket office just a few metred along. Having bought your ticket, part at the car park by the ticket office, right next to the baths/gymnasium complex. The theatre is just 100m further on.

These two areas together form the most spectacular part of Salamis, the part you should explore most thoroughly. They have also received the bulk of the excavators’ attention. Suspiciously headless statues have been re-erected in the gymnasium and the theatre has been renovated. It is thought that these heads were taken home by the English and French archaeologists as trophies. Though discovered in 1882 and dug erratically since then, the site was not excavated systematically until 1952. from then, work was in progress every season until 1974, when the University of Lyons excavators left.There are still vast tracts of the city that await excavation, and in view of the current political situation the wait is likely to be a long one. Whenever it does happen, the task will be daunting for Salamis was the victim of two severe earthquakes in the 4th century within ten years of each other. Tidal waves combed across the city bringing in sand and debris. Later that century, the Byzantine emperor Constantine II rebuilt it, but on a smaller scale, and renamed it Constantia in honour of himself. It suffered badly again in the Arab raids of the 7th century, and most of the population that survived the massacres moved to Gazima?usa, then called Arsinoe. Abandoned, its collapsed buildings were used as a quarry for medieval Famagusta, and the sand and vegetation reclaimed the city.

At the start of summer 2006 I probably knew as much about Stonehenge as the next man – it’s a collection of big old stones, or megaliths, set in a circle on the gently rolling chalk hills of Salisbury Plain in the English county of Wiltshire …

Having grown-up in England I’d even had the opportunity to visit the area as a schoolboy, although I must say I was more interested in running up and down the slopes of neighboring Avebury than listening to the master droning on about how the site was constructed and by whom. Little had changed almost forty years later, England in the World Cup proving far more exciting than the antics of their Neolithic ancestors. So when my ten-year-old daughter asked why anyone would want to use such big stones to build Stonehenge in the first place my answer was appropriately glib, but it got me thinking. In fact it prompted a very bizarre experiment followed by two years of intense research culminating in a book, The Stonehenge Observatory.

You may be wondering why anyone is still interested in the site, after all, so much has been written about it in the past 100 years there can be nothing left to discover, can there?

If only it was that simple because, try as they might to pigeon-hole the site, Stonehenge poses a rather difficult problem for the archeologists.

It is similar to ancient earthworks in the use of a bank and ditch but the arrangement is unique, for almost every other ancient earthwork has an inner ditch and outer bank. For some reason this is reversed in Stonehenge where an outer bank encloses the remains of a once towering inner bank.

It is also similar to ancient megalithic structures in the use of stone but the quality of workmanship is unique. Lintels set atop two pillars have been secured using knob and socket joints that are more familiar to pre-cast concrete structures today. Possibly the only other ancient site demonstrating this method of dry-jointing stone is the Giza Pyramid where it has been used to secure cornerstones.

Stonehenge sits in a greater megalithic landscape populated by causewayed enclosures, chambered tombs and passage graves, and although individual stones of the size and finish seen at Stonehenge are not unusual to the Neolithic age, thirty pillars, each weighing around 30 tons, accurately placed on sloping ground to support a level and perfect ring of lintels over 30m (100ft) in diameter is extraordinary, and not just for Europe.

Considering the size of the surrounding ditch and number of stones there is surprisingly little evidence of it having been constructed using the tools of the day – antler and bone. For example there are only two radiocarbon samples available to place a date on the erection of seventy-five stones that make up the Sarsen Circle and Trilithons, and they differ by almost 2,000 years.

It is so well-designed that some observers believe it functioned as a solar and lunar calendar at a time when the emerging agrarian societies in Neolithic Britain became aware of the significance of the Sun and Moon in predicting seasons, a view that contrasts with British archeologists who believe it in some way ‘symbolic’ for a culture connecting with dead spirits – anything more would require knowledge well beyond the capabilities of the British Neolithic people and suggest (heavens forbid) a foreign influence. To this end the ‘authorities’ appear willing to do almost anything to keep Stonehenge a truly national monument. 

Almost every attempt to recreate techniques believed to have been used to transport, prepare and erect the stones is done so from the point of reinforcing the Neolithic theory.

It has helped define a phased sequence of construction spanning 1,500 years where erection of the largest stone groups, the Trilithons, at the center of the monument would require the builders to negotiate the Sarsen Circle during their positioning and final erection (it’s worth noting how the recreation of construction techniques is always performed in isolation and with neatly squared-off blocks of pre-cast concrete). A re-evaluation by the Ancient Monuments Laboratory (AML) of radiocarbon datable material recovered during 20th century excavations of the site was clearly aimed at reinforcing these established phases.

It is against this backdrop that I attempted to publish a paper documenting my own theory some six months into my research. Looking back, to be honest, it was a hastily prepared conclusion I felt keen to rubber-stamp as my own and deserved no more attention than it achieved. Undeterred by the lack of official or media response I continued researching the subject of Stonehenge in books, video, and on the Internet. Most authors provide little more information than can be obtained from R. J. C. Atkinson’s book, Stonehenge, published in 1956, and default to the techniques for moving and erecting stones he describes. Even Gerald Hawkins, author of the much maligned Stonehenge Decoded in which he ‘proved’ the builders capable of astronomical calculation far ahead of their time, felt obliged to stick to Atkinson’s sequence of construction and subsequent archeological dating of such. I too may have fallen into this trap had it not been for Google Sketchup. This incredibly powerful yet easy to use software allowed unparalleled access to the site via 3D models I had created using data from a variety of sources and, used in combination with CyberSky astronomical software, I was able to test theoretical alignments as well as add weight to my own theory. However, it was in using the models to provide illustrations for the book that I realized a consequence of the method Atkinson adopted to erect the Sarsen pillars – the orientation of the flat inner face meant they could only have been raised from outside the circle. It was only one of a number of inconsistencies which were to cast doubt upon the established sequence of construction and dates, a doubt that was further corroborated following a thorough examination of the AML study.

By the end of 2007 I was reasonably certain my theory provided a credible alternative to any other, including the ‘archillogical’ interpretation of Stonehenge as a Neolithic place of ritual worship. Hawkins had been right about the outlying stones but they could only have been placed following severe erosion of the bank which would have otherwise rendered them useless. Other theories rely on a uniformity of stone and symmetry that is absent in all but the Sarsen lintel ring. Still more totally ignore features for which they have no use or explanation. Stonehenge is too precise an arrangement to be simply a temple and yet too crude in the choice of material to be an astronomical observatory – that is, until you fill it with water at which point the central setting of stones provides a firm base from which to observe a reflection of the Sun, Moon and stars. There could be no other reason for paying such close attention to the form and finish of a lintel ring that would remain out of sight to observers at ground level, and especially so when such little attention had been paid to the pillars supporting it.

Contrary to the many stylized models of Stonehenge the pillars are not of a uniform shape and size (and never were) neither are the gaps between them, yet much is made of their placement in aligning on or obscuring the view of various events. The pillars are purely structural and well suited to the purpose. Another reason to believe the lintels provided a firm base on which to move around is the technique used to secure them in place. It’s not as if 7 tons of rock is likely to slip off two 30 ton pillars set 1m (3ft) into the ground, yet the builders felt it necessary to use three different methods to join them all together. The surrounding hills still provide an ample supply of water in the form of an unconfined aquifer and there is every reason to believe the level of the water table even higher in the past. Features within and around the site provide examples of how that water could be accessed and maintained within the confines of the henge.

At the same time (the end of 2007) I was struggling with the geometry of projection. It was proving impossible to provide a geometrical method to compensate for the orientation of the site around 50° east of north without resorting to trig tables, and I wanted to show how the stars could be plotted mechanically. The orientation of the site towards the longest day of the year, the summer solstice, lends weight to the idea that it was intentionally aligned on the event but the association is tenuous for several reasons, none least of which being the tendency for the event to move left and right according to the Earth’s changing angle of tilt. Following a dialogue with a professor in astronomy I decided to look at the problem from a completely different angle, literally, at which point everything fell into place. Not only was the geometry problem solved, there was also an explanation for the positions of the Trilithons within the Sarsen circle in providing a permanent record of the Moon’s northern and southernmost standstills.

For the first time every feature within the henge could be accounted for in a single, functional unit. However, in closing the door on one mystery I had opened the door to another of even greater magnitude – for my theory to be correct, the history of the Earth has to be wrong.

There is, of course, much more disclosed in my book, The Stonehenge Observatory. It includes a full cross-examination of the AML study, an explanation of the astronomical problems faced by the builders, alternative theories, and a full description of the features. But paper alone never really does justice to the site. Previous authors have reverted to long-winded descriptions of the stones with Ordnance Survey style plans for reference, or wire-frame diagrams of what the site would have looked like. In an attempt to provide the reader with as much access to the site as possible without the need to be there in person (which would require a time-machine to see how it was originally) I have made the 3D models available online at:

http://www.stonehengeobservatory.com

The web site is designed to compliment the book, so don’t expect too much in the way of commentary. The models are, however, very interactive with the option to hide or show features, pan and zoom manually or with the help of a site plan. An eBook version of The Stonehenge Observatory is available for those of you who can’t wait for the printers. There is also an animated reconstruction of the destruction of the site from which it is possible to see the extent of the damage to individual stones. The destruction of Stonehenge is as much a mystery as how it was built. There can be no doubt that Man figured largely in the removal of fallen stones but you need only look to the 20th century restoration of the site to realize how the sheer size and foundations of those left standing poses more of a problem for the scavenger than it ever did for the builder. Large cranes, gantries and cradles were essential to lift megaliths still buried after so many centuries. It is also clear that erosion of the site exposed some foundations sufficiently for the wind to take its toll, but not to such an extent that the entire southwestern sector would be demolished, and though the scale of the damage would suggest a tidal wave or earthquake, the pattern of destruction says otherwise. To this end, what I consider possible in The Stonehenge Observatory can only invite scorn from the academic community to which I do not belong, but the true age of Stonehenge and the event which lead to its destruction together with what can only be described as a red herring of truly astronomic proportions, are corroborated in studies by members of that very community.
