Wikipedia
Altar de Sacrificios is a ceremonial center and archaeological site of the pre-Columbian Maya civilization, situated near the confluence of the Pasión and Salinas Rivers (where they combine to form the Usumacinta River), in the present-day department of Petén, Guatemala. Along with Seibal and Dos Pilas, Altar de Sacrificios is one of the better-known and most intensively-excavated sites, although the site itself does not seem to have been a major political force in the Late Classic period.. This site dominated the Usumacinta trade route circa 450 CE, and has signs of occupation dating to approximately 1000 BCE.
