Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: I was up and driving to reach this site by 5 am to be sure I was there at 8 am when it opened. They call it one of the "Seven Wonders of the World", I don't think so......my opinion!
Between 600 and 1250 A.D. this ancient city, whose name means "at the mouth of the Itza well", was the centre of political, economic, religious. and military power, not only in the Yucatan but also in the entire southeastern part of Mesoamerica. The Itza domain included part of Tabasco and Campeche, the northern Gulf Coast, and a large part of the southern lowlands. Its sphere of control was based on regional and long distance mercantile activities, which generated one of the most important commercial circuits in all Mesoamerica. Itza rule brought about drastic changes in the internal structure of Yucatecan communities. At the same time, the introduction of an innovative view of the world marked the establishment of an order characterized by changing commercial values, production and distribution systems, and residential and religious architecture of the groups in power. It is calculated that during the age of grandeur approximately 50,000 inhabitants were spread out over an area of 25 km2, including such distant groups as those of Balamkanche, Cumtun, Poxil and Halakai, among others. All of them were connected to the ceremonial center by means of roads known as sacbeob. |
