Copan was once a major city of a Classical Period Mayan kingdom and is home to some fantastic architecture and sculpture, including two pyramids, a field to play the Mesoamerican ball game, portrait stelae and some amazing staircases.

Raven, thanks for these daily Advent videos! I’m still laughing at “Angkor What?”. You sleigh me!
I see what you did there 😉
I love Mayan Stelae. They are fantastic pieces of art. And instead of gracefully walking up the staircase, I'd probably fall down it.
The Mayan culture is fascinating and Copan and Tikal have been on my wish list for a long time. What one doesn't truly appreciate from photos is just how steep Mayan stairs are. So steep, and the steps so narrow, that I scrambled down the stairs of the Pyramid of the Magician at Uxmal on my backside for fear of falling off!
Thanks for expanding my knowledge of Honduran archaeology!
Half way there, you got this! Totally enjoying the advent series. 👍👍👍
If the silly Christmas craze works as an excuse for you to put out fun and educational videos, I'm all for it.
100% agree that stairs are cool and super interesting! Like, I legit can't think of a film scene that'd be worthy of a staircase of the magnitude of splendour as the hieroglyphic one you showed even in it's current state. You've knocked it outta the park with the first half of this series and I can't wait to see the next half!!
Raven , these videos give me LIFE!
So happy you’re enjoying them!
Busy day! BUT I did not neglect to get my Dig It With Raven fix! At the end of this video, I had an image of you, Raven...with a brush...gently progressing down...forty meters.
Fancy staircases are awesome XD. And this is definitely a place I’d love to visit! Look at those carvings! Imagine how long this place took to build.
Awesome! Definitly adding Copan to my wishlist......
glad i found this channel and i am really enjoying the advent videos. thanks for the content
Thanx. I'm really enjoying these videos.
Very interesting series! Thank you.
Thank you for the video!
"I love stairs", thats what Raven said. Hahahah :)
But stairs are the best!
@@DigItWithRaven you were facing an uphill battle with that one, though I think you made your case about stairs pretty rock solid
I'll show myself out hahahaha
@@DigItWithRaven it was just such a cute quote :)
For the algorithm
Hi! Love the channel and this ADVENTure.
I'm currently a college sophomore studying history, with a current plan to get certified to teach secondary ed.
If I wanted to veer and pursue archaeology, what would be a logical step? Or perhaps would teaching history be a valuable experiance for a while before changing history career paths. I'd also like to hear what you did in my life stage to get where u are. Sry ik its a lot of words!!!
What I took away from this video
Staircases
I saw Copan in 1964. I climbed the hieroglyphic stairs on the pyramid because nobody said I couldn't.
