Discover the largest and oldest ritual complex of Maya civilization in Mexico

Discovered the largest, oldest ceremonial architectural complex of the Maya civilization built between 1,000 and 800 years BC in the Mexican state of Tabasco.

According to the researchers, unlike other Maya pyramids in cities like Guatemala's Tikal and Mexico's Palenque, this architectural complex is made of clay . It is located in the area of ​​Aguada Fénix, near the border with Guatemala with a structure of nearly 400m wide, 1,400m long and 10 to 15m high. The total area of ​​the architecture has surpassed Egypt's Giza Pyramids.

There are no sculptural signs depicting high-status individuals, and this shows that the Maya culture at the aforementioned period was more communal and only then did it develop into a decentralized society.

Experts assess Aguada Fénix and other ceremonial architectural populations during the same period suggesting the importance of community work in the early development of Maya civilization.

Maya is a unique ancient civilization in addition to the Andes civilization, built by the Mayans, an Native American tribe that lived 2,000 years ago in the Yucatán Peninsula in Central America, now belonging to Southeastern Mexico, Northern Guatemala and Honduras.

Mayan civilization reached a high level not only in the field of state construction but also flourished even in fields such as architecture, mathematics, astronomy and time computing.
