How does a #Teotihuacan altar end up in the Maya centre of #Tikal in Guatemala, some 1,000 km away?

Ramírez's et al. offer an quite intriguing answer including 5th century BCE conflict, politics, and client kings in their @Antiquity 99(404), 2025 🔓 paper here:

In de oude Maya-metropool #Tikal in #Guatemala hebben archeologen een altaar blootgelegd dat heel verrassend niet door de Maya’s is gemaakt. Experts zien het volk van #Teotihuacan, een compleet andere inheemse cultuur uit de tijd van de Maya’s, als de makers. Mogelijk heeft dat te maken met handel tussen de #Maya’s en dit volk tussen 300 en 500 n. Chr.
