Ruins of a building in the ancient city featuring a staircase (Credit: Ivan Šprajc/ National Institute of Anthropology and History/ CC-BY-SA-2.0)

Dr. Ivan Šprajc has spent the past 30 years looking for Maya cities in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. In 2013, the archeologist and his team found one dating back to the 8th century in the Chactún rainforest. A year later, they unearthed two more cities abandoned over 1,200 years ago. But a massive ancient settlement found deep inside Mexico's Balamkú Ecological Conservation Zone, is the team's most exciting discovery yet.

      did y'all also know that The Maya pyramids housed both temples and palaces because the form was designed to represent a mountain, one of the most sacred forms to the Maya. Maya pyramids were constructed of large stone blocks, carved from nearby quarries, and faced with limestone, then brightly painted.
