Could you tell me or give me a place were I can see art portraits made of concrete that the Mayans made?? So I can compare the ones I found to them…Thanks
To my knowledge, the Mayas did not use concrete to make portraits. Their glyphs and images were carved from stone, mostly limestone though sometimes flint, bone, or quartz. They used concrete in building structures to bind building stones together. The best book to learn about Maya use of concrete is The Lost Secrets of Maya Technology by James O’Kon.
