The Lost World is the largest ceremonial complex in the preclassic of the great Mayan city of Tikal. The complex was organized as a large astronomical complex ("Set E") and is composed of a pyramid aligned with an eastward platform that forms the basis for three temples. Throughout its history the Lost World complex was rebuilt several times.
By the 250s-300s AD, his architectural style was influenced by the city of Teotihuacán in the valley of Mexico and included the use of the slope-board style. During the Early Classic period (c. 250–600), the Lost World became one of the city's two focal points, the other being the North Acropolis. From 250 to 378 AD it may have served as a royal necropolis.
The Lost World complex was named for archaeologists at the University of Pennsylvania.
