Tikal was an ancient city of the Maya civilization, located in a rainforest in Guatemala. The city thrived as the capital of a powerful kingdom until it was conquered by Teotihuacan in the 4th century AD. After it was conquered, it gradually declined until it was eventually entirely abandoned by the end of the 10th century. Today, the city is one of the largest archaeological sites of the Maya civilization and is known for its many pyramid-shaped temples, including the Temple of the Great Jaguar – one of the most notable pyramids in the world
