Guatemala dig uncovers Mayan artefacts

Archaeologists working in northern Guatemala have uncovered three well-preserved Mayan panels dating backing around 1,400 years.

The panels display ancient hieroglyphics that provide insights into the civilisation's royal traditions along with a stone image of a king.

The priceless artefacts have been moved to Guatemala City for further research.

Marcelo Canuto, co-director of La Corona Archaeological Project, describes the importance of the find.
