基里瓜考古公园和遗址

公园位于危地马拉东北部的伊萨巴尔省，距首都危地马拉东北约160千米，是古典时期早期的前玛雅人首都，这一遗址的价值在于其精湛的雕刻艺术，堪称中美洲远古时期的极品。遗址内有12个巨幅雕刻和13个纪念碑。这些用砂石而不是用金属器具直接雕刻而成的纪念碑，是玛雅人审美观念和艺术技能的杰出代表。

Inhabited since the 2nd century A.D., Quirigua had become during the reign of Cauac Sky (723–84) the capital of an autonomous and prosperous state. The ruins of Quirigua contain some outstanding 8th-century monuments and an impressive series of carved stelae and sculpted calendars that constitute an essential source for the study of Mayan civilization.
