Chakan Bacab, Mexico
Chakan Bacab, Mexico - Chakan Bacab, which means "rubber tree" in the Maya language, is one of the most recent archaeological finds in the center of the Yucatan Peninsula, and dates back to the Late Preclassic Period between 400-700 A.D. This Maya city was lost in the highland jungles for around 500 years but nonetheless kept its splendor since many of its constructions are great temples, squares and ball-game courts that make its importance evident. The ruins in Chakan Bacab have at least 12 large structures, as well as statues, monuments and buildings as significant as Kohunlich and that could compete with the beauty and splendor of the great Chichen Itza.
