Deep within the forest in northern Guatemala lie the ruins of Rio Azul, a Maya city that reached one-third the size of Tikal. Discovered and partially explored in the early 1960s. Rio Azul and the surrounding region were more fully investigated between 1983 and 1987.

 

Remains in the Rio Azul area date from 900 B.C. to A.D. 850. The data indicate that, unlike most Maya cities that have been studied, Rio Azul was a frontier town, an administrative center, with alternating defense and trade-outpost functions. About A.D. 385, the Rio Azul region was conquered and the city founded by Tikal, serving as a Teotihuacan-linked garrison for that capital. Nearly all of the more than seven hundred structures found within Rio Azul were erected between A.D. 390 and 530.

 

Acres of pavement were laid down around some thirty complexes of residences, temples, and tombs notable for the brightly painted red hieroglyphs and murals on their walls. The elaborate complexes and sumptuous artifacts suggest a city with a heavy proportion of aristocratic families and retainers.

 

Around A.D. 530, Rio Azul appears to have been suddenly destroyed. The city was abandoned, then reoccupied -- only to stagnate and finally collapse, like many other Classic Maya cities in the late ninth century.

yo this would be a cool idea if enough people got to it

why dont you set it off.

 

I like the idea of coming up with a word, then giving a date and everyone puts up what ever they have created...wether it be piece throw ups or tags...that could be very interesting.

 

actually this is the most productive this thread has been in a long time

 

Like Dek said,

 

1) Pick a word (howabout "Style"?)

 

2) Put it on paper.

 

3) Set a deadline (howabout next Friday 10/30/09?)

 

Yo word to the earth sun moon and stars I was about to say pick the word styles u most have called chleo and seen my g too futurestic for these niggas. But in the real everyone post her pics here pick the word or even make it better niggas Pick a old scho writer so u can show the competitiviness of the old scho ways. Niggas pick like e.g dondi? Who can do the illest dondi piece and it's all love no disrespect to the dead it's a tribute of style. Something to motivate the masses and to keep a true legend inthe game name alive. The back and forth yapping won't solve it and a mod gonna come delete all this back and forth anyways

 

Is this still on? You my friends have induced my first piece sketch in like 7 years.

 

"Style"
