While 2013 has seen a plethora of incredible archaeological discoveries and achievements, which will be showcased shortly, there are other events that have equally affected the archaeological world, which have revealed a darker side to humanity – these have included the decimation and destruction of a number of culturally rich and historically important sites. We believe it is also important to highlight these – to name and shame if you like – because it is only through shining a light on the darkness that we can see the terrible atrocities taking place in our world. Only then do we have a chance to change it. 2,300-year-old Mayan pyramid destroyed to make new road A 100-foot pyramid in the Nomul complex
