Aerial image of High Temple at Lamanai, Belize, enveloped by dense jungle. The temple, a large pyramid-like structure constructed of limestone, rises prominently above the treeline.

Community-made Tapestries are created by local stakeholders and community members who receive training from CyArk to capture 3D data, record interviews, and design and develop the narrative of the virtual experience. These collaborative projects empower communities to share their unique stories and histories with a global audience.

About Lamanai High Temple

The Lamanai High Temple experience was created by The Institute of Archaeology (IA) in Belize working with CyArk as part of the Cultural Heritage Exchange Initiative supported by the United States Department of State. CyArk worked with the IA participants to provide training in 3D capture and place-based storytelling. IA then documented the site, conducted interviews and developed a script for the experience.
