with video (in Spanish)
In Mexico, a Mayan pyramid larger and older than Chichen Itza and Uxmal has just been inaugurated. Located in Quintana Roo, in the municipality of Bacalar, is Ichkabal, a large city that, in its heyday, was an important political center and the most important city of the Maya in the Yucatan Peninsula. It was discovered accidentally in 1995, but was kept closed due to its great extension, which made it difficult to protect.
The archaeological site of Ichkabal is located in the south of Quintana Roo, specifically in the municipality of Bacalar, 40 kilometers west of Laguna Bacalar and 9 kilometers northeast of Dzibanché. The archaeological zone of Ichkabal is formed by a circuit of Mayan monuments, along with Kinichna and Kohulich
This amazing city has architectural structures never seen before in Maya ruins. To give you an idea, one of its buildings is more than 40 meters high and has a pyramidal base of 200 meters, quadrupling the size of the base of the wonder of the modern world, the ruins of Chichén Itzá.
