\"Tikal\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Diverse Medien<\/a> berichten heute von riesigen Wasserspeichern der Maya, die Arch\u00e4ologen entdeckt haben. <\/p>\n

Es hat mich einige Sekunden gekostet herauszufinden, wo die deutschen Zeitungen (O Wunder – sogar eine Link bei SpOn!) das abgeschrieben haben. Beim Examiner<\/a> wurde ich \u00fcbrigens nach englischen Suchbegriffen f\u00fcndig – „Sustainable water use in Mayan Tikal“. Der Original-Artikel steht im Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences<\/a> (PNAS), Standford University.
\nRecent mapping, sediment coring, and formal excavation at Tikal, Guatemala, have markedly expanded our understanding of ancient Maya water and land use. Among the landscape and engineering feats identified are the largest ancient dam identified in the Maya area of Central America; the posited manner by which reservoir waters were released; construction of a cofferdam for dredging the largest reservoir at Tikal; the presence of ancient springs linked to the initial colonization of Tikal; the use of sand filtration to cleanse water entering reservoirs; a switching station that facilitated seasonal filling and release; and the deepest rock-cut canal segment in the Maya Lowlands.<\/i><\/p>\n

Ich finde mein Foto von Tikal (1979, vgl. auch diese<\/a>) sch\u00f6ner als das bei SpOn<\/a>.<\/p>\n
