Answer:

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence in English is:

Joya de Cerén (Jewel of Cerén) is known as "Pompeii of the Americas"

This statement is TRUE. Joya de Cerén is an archeological site located in La Libertad department, in El Salvador, close to San Juan Opico and Las Flores. The site was inhabited since around the year 400 CE by a farming community, and abandoned around the year 600 CE after the Loma Caldera eruption, which buried the ancient village. For this reason it´is referred to as "Pompeii of the Americas", due to the similarity with the ancient Roman ruins. It's one of the most important archeological sites of Mesamerica , due to its preservation, which shows how was the life of the common people of the time.
