La Danta is the main structure in the El Mirador (The Lookout), one of the earliest mayan cities dating from the 6th century BCE, and now one of the oldest archeological sites in the world, located in the Mayan Biosphere Reserve. The La Danta temple measures approximately 72 metres (236 ft) tall from the forest floor, and considering its total volume (2,800,000 cubic meters) is one of the largest pyramids in the world. When the large man-made platform that the temple is built upon (some 18,000 square meters) is included in calculations, La Danta is considered by some archeologists to be one of the most massive ancient structures in the world. El Mirador archeological site is located deep in the jungle forests of El Peten. Video taken in April, 2018.
