A 2,300-year-old Mayan pyramid in northern Belize was discovered this week to have been destroyed by a construction crew building a road. Although all pre-Columbian structures, even those on private property, are protected under federal law in Belize, the builders working on the road used heavy equipment to extract crushed stone from the pyramid which they then used as material to construct the road. All that is left of the pyramid at Nohmul is its limestone core.
