In this Oct. 28, 2013 image released by Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) on Monday Aug. 25, 2014, ruins belonging to an ancient Maya city called Lagunita stand out in the jungle on a remote location in the southern state of Campeche, Mexico. Archaeologists in Mexico have made public the existence of an ancient Maya city in the state of Campeche and have rediscovered this forest-covered site that first was stumbled upon in the 1970s. The INAH says the discoveries will help archaeologists study the cultural and political histories of an area known as the Central Lowlands of the Maya region. (AP Photo/INAH, Mauricio Marat)
