塔卡利克·阿巴赫（Tak’alik Ab’aj）考古遗址位于危地马拉的太平洋海岸。它有着1700年的历史，见证了奥尔梅克文明向早期玛雅文明的演变。塔卡利克·阿巴赫在这一进程中扮演着重要角色，部分归因于它扼守一条长途贸易路线，连接起现今的墨西哥特万特佩克地峡和萨尔瓦多。各地的思想和风俗沿着这条路线广泛交融。遗址内的圣所和建筑根据宇宙学原理分布，这里还有创新的水务系统、陶器和宝石艺术。如今，不同族群的土著居民仍将该遗址视为圣地，并在此开展仪式活动。

Tak’alik Ab’aj is an archaeological site located on the Pacific Coast of Guatemala. Its 1,700-year history spans a period that saw the transition from the Olmec civilization to the emergence of Early Mayan culture. Tak’alik Ab’aj had a primary role in this transition, in part because it was vital to the long-distance trade route that connected the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in today's Mexico to present-day El Salvador. Ideas and customs were shared extensively along this route. Sacred spaces and buildings were laid out according to cosmological principles, and innovative water management systems, ceramics, and lapidary art can be found. Today, Indigenous groups of different affiliations still consider the site a sacred place and visit it to perform rituals.
