The ruins of the ancient structures had their stones reused for
residential construction of the agricultural village of Rock stone Pond
in modern times, but the ancient site did not come to the attention of
archeologists until 1963. The Old Northern Highway connects Altun Ha to
Belize's Northern Highway, and the site is accessible for tourism. The
largest of Altun Ha's temple-pyramids, the "Temple of the Masonry
Altars", is 54 feet (16 m) high. A drawing of this structure is the logo
of Belize's leading brand of beer, "Belikin"
