At the San Bartolo site in the northeastern Peten region of Guatemala, several tunnels and trenches, originally dug by looters, run under a larger pyramid. Saturno was seeking shade in one such tunnel when his flashlight revealed the corner of a wall painting. “In Western terms, it’s like knowing only modern art and then stumbling on a Michelangelo or a Leonardo,” Saturno, who is also...
