An award-winning high school graduate, Matthew (Matt) Kafker is currently a university student with interests in physics, mathematics, literature, and computer science. When not studying, Matt Kafker enjoys traveling and has been to a number of countries around the world, including Belize. While Belize is known for its charming islands and beautiful coastline, no visit to the country would be complete without exploring at least one of its amazing archaeological sites.
A great place to start is Altun Ha, a Mayan site located not far from Belize City. This site once served as a trade and ceremonial center during the Classic Period. Also, archaeologists found the largest jade object of the Mayan civilization here--a head that represents Kinich Ahua, the sun god.
