Mayan Art Megathread

The trailer for the new Tomb Raider game contains some cool Maya stuff, and judging by the last two games that were really good I am looking forward to it a lot!

Cool stuff.

After a quick search I came across this stuff for the new game:

Apparently its a game puzzle? I don't know what the puzzle is for, but those are straight up Mayan glyphs. If I had to guess they are probably the date of the game's release or some other message.

Really cool though; obviously the game designers did their research! :D:bookworm:

Been there, that is Uxmal, pyramid of the magician! I really like the face at the entrance to the upper temple:

Edit: Although thanks to your picture, I had no clue there was another entrance to the temple even higher than the monster mouth entrance! That isn't even visible from the ground level!
 
I happened across some pictures of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon in my pinterest feed, and noticed that they looked suspiciously like the work of the Old Ones... :cyclops:

Looks an awful lot like Mayan Pyramids in general shape!

Cool terrain piece. You could definitely adapt the idea for a Mayan temple pyramid
 
Some Mayan and Olmec jade masks and pendants:
