WEEKLY GROSS-OUT: D-Mar Construction

Belizean police are investigating said construction company after they had destroyed most of one of the largest Mayan pyramids in the Caribbean nation to make gravel to dump on village roads. Archaeologists and a local TV station witnessed the destruction on Friday as bulldozers and excavators continued to demolish the 60-foot-tall main temple at Nohmul ("great mound"), one of the tallest structures in northern Belize, along the Mexican border in the Yucatan Peninsula. "We can't salvage what has happened out here," John Morris, of the Institute of Archaeology, told 7 News Belize. "It is an incredible display of ignorance. I am appalled." So am I. You don't just bulldoze ancient ruins for your own agenda. There's bound to be some other place they could've gotten stone from, and besides, all pre-Hispanic ruins in Belize are protected by law, so criminal charges are a possibility.
