A HISTORICAL LIE: THE STONE AGE

Network of Roads

in the Ancient Mayan City of Tikal

Tikal, one of the oldest Mayan cities, was founded in the 8th
century BCE. Archaeological excavations in the city, which stands in
wild jungle, have unearthed houses, palaces, pyramids, temples and
assembly areas. All these areas are connected to one another by
roads. Radar images have shown that in addition to complete

drainage system, the city also enjoyed a comprehensive irrigation
system. Tikal stands neither by a river nor by a lake, and it was
found that the city made use of some ten water reservoirs.
Five main roads lead from Tikal into the jungle. Archaeologists

Darwinists maintain, de-
spite possessing no sci-
entific evidence, that
ancient men were primi-
tive beings living in a
primitive manner, and
that their intelligence de-
veloped over time.
Archaeological findings
refute this, however.
Excavations carried out
in the Ancient Mayan city
of Tikal, for instance, re-
veal a marvel of engi-
neering and planning.
Aerial photographs show
that Mayan cities con-
nected to one another by
a wide network of roads.
This all shows that ad-
vanced civilizations have
existed in all periods of
history.
