"Noh Mul had been one of the ancient monuments with the greatest tourism development potential in northern Belize," the association said. "Unfortunately, such progress has been severely hampered due to the ignorance and greed of certain individuals."

It's a shame that so much history and culture if being destroyed. The people of Belize should of found another way around the situation. The pyramid has been standing for AGES, and made by Mayan people back in the day. That's some of the history of the Mayan people, and seeing it be destroyed for road is sad, but at least they are using the pyramids remains to make the road, so it'll at least be used in a useful way.
