Copan <\/span>est situ\u00e9 dans l’ouest du Honduras, pr\u00e8s de la fronti\u00e8re guat\u00e9malt\u00e8que, au milieu des montagnes recouvertes de v\u00e9g\u00e9tation, C’est la ville la plus m\u00e9ridionale et probablement la deuxi\u00e8me en importance de la civilisation Maya<\/a> qui, en huit si\u00e8cles b\u00e2tit pr\u00e8s de cent villes pour les abandonner ensuite \u00e0 la for\u00eat vierge pour des raisons encore inconnues, Ici, on pourra admirer les hi\u00e9roglyphes les plus beaux et les plus expressifs de l’Empire maya, Ceux-ci sont sculpt\u00e9s sur les marches des " escalier hi\u00e9roglyphique " qui conduit au sommet d’un temple, Les 2500 images-symboles d\u00e9couvertes fournissent assez d’informations pour permettre, selon les arch\u00e9ologues, de jeter suffisamment de lumi\u00e8re sur le myst\u00e8re des origines, de l’apog\u00e9e et du d\u00e9clin des Mayas. Ainsi, on a d\u00e9j\u00e0 pu fixer la date de fondation de Copan vers l’an 460 de notre \u00e8re. <\/p>\n
 <\/div>\n
Les constructions en pierre de cette ville sont \u00e9parpill\u00e9es sur 300.000 m². Celle-ci devait \u00eatre encore bien plus grande lors de son apog\u00e9e, car les maisons en pierre \u00e9taient r\u00e9serv\u00e9es \u00e0 la caste dominante et aux pr\u00eatres. Les masses laborieuses vivaient \u00e0 la p\u00e9riph\u00e9rie dans des huttes dont il ne reste aucune trace. Sur les cinq places d\u00e9gag\u00e9es se dressent 21 st\u00e8les, dont certaines atteignent trois m\u00e8tres de hauteur et sont parmi les plus achev\u00e9es de la civilisation maya, Taill\u00e9s dans le calcaire, des visages nobles et dignes sont entour\u00e9s de symboles richement orn\u00e9s racontant l’\u00e9rection de chaque st\u00e8le. On y trouve peu de visages grima\u00e7ants de divinit\u00e9s, contrairement aux autres villes mayas o\u00f9 les sculpteurs rivalisaient de toute \u00e9vidence dans la cr\u00e9ation du masque le plus terrifiant. La st\u00e8le B est la plus achev\u00e9e au point de vue artistique. Elle pr\u00e9sente un pr\u00eatre v\u00eatu d’un costume d’apparat dont tous les d\u00e9tails restent visibles, des souliers \u00e0 la coiffe majestueuse en passant par le lourd pagne de cuir, orn\u00e9 de divers masques.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Copan fut d\u00e9couvert en 1840 par John Lloyd Stephens, Ce dernier pensait qu’ion fouillait mieux si l’on \u00e9tait propri\u00e9taire, Cet arch\u00e9ologue acheta donc tout le terrain pour la somme de 50 dollars. Le vendeur avait fait une bonne affaire, C’\u00e9tait une terre inutile, recouverte de brousse et dont le d\u00e9frichement aurait co\u00fbt\u00e9 plusieurs fois cette somme.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
A cot\u00e9 des temples se trouve un cenote, un puit sacr\u00e9, Il s’agit d’un trou de plusieurs m\u00e8tres de diam\u00e8tre aux parois verticales, Lors de certaines f\u00eates, on jetait dans son eau verte des filles et des adolescents richement v\u00eatus pour honorer les dieux, Les autres jours, ce puit servait de toute \u00e9vidence aussi comme d\u00e9charge, \u00e0 la grande joie de Stephens, car des plongeurs retir\u00e8rent de sa vase non seulement des bijoux et des objets de culte mais aussi des objets d’usage quotidien, surtout des poteries.<\/div>\n
