Hoʻokomo ʻoe iā ʻoe iho i ke kūlanakauhale Maya kahiko o Ek Balam, kahi pūnaewele archaeological me nā ʻano hoʻolālā kū hoʻokahi no ka momona a me ka mysticism.
Ma kahi kokoke i nā wahi mākaʻikaʻi o Cancun a me Playa del Carmen, ma ka ʻaoʻao komohana o Yucatan a me 190 km mai ke kapikala ʻo Mérida, kahi kūlanakauhale Maya kahiko ʻo Ek Balam, kahi kahua archaeological me nā ʻano kūkulu hale kū hoʻokahi no kāna waiwai a me ka mysticism. Unuhi maoli ʻia mai Mayan, ʻo kona inoa ʻo ia hoʻi ka pouli a ʻeleʻele jaguar, ʻoiai makemake ka poʻe noho e kapa iā ia ka hōkū jaguar.
ʻO ia ma 1994 i ka manawa i hoʻomaka ai ka papahana archaeological ʻo Ek Balam ma lalo o ka malu o ka National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), aia i kēia manawa i ka ʻehā o ka hana. A hiki i kēlā makahiki, ʻo ka hana ʻimi wale nō o ka pā paia kahi luakini liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi, a ua hana ʻia kahi hana mālama liʻiliʻi ma nā hale ʻelua ʻē aʻe.
Aia nā hale nui i loko o ʻelua mau pā i kapa ʻia ʻĀkau a me Hema, ma kahi pā o 1.25 km2, a ma kahi o nā hale ʻē aʻe e noho ai kekahi. ʻElima mau alanui ma mua o ka Hispanic i kapa ʻia ʻo sak beʻoob e hoʻomaka ana mai nā paia o loko a me waho; aia kekahi mea i kapa ʻia he kolu o ka paia, a ʻo ia mau mea a pau ka hōʻoia o ka pale ikaika i hāʻawi ʻia i ka ʻaoʻao waena o ke kūlanakauhale, kahi e noho ai nā aliʻi a me nā luna.
I ka wā mua o ka papahana lNAH, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia a hoʻohui ʻia ʻelua mau hale i ka plaza hema: kūkulu 10, a me ka ʻaoʻao hikina, kahi o kahi kumu nui kahi i hoʻokumu ʻia ai kahi luakini liʻiliʻi a ʻelua mau paepae e noho wale ana i kahi hapa palena. mai ka papa honua, no laila ke manaʻo ʻia nei ua hiki ke hoʻolaʻa ʻia i nā ākea ākea i nā hana.
ʻO kekahi o nā kūkulu nui loa o kēia hui - 17, aia ma ka ʻaoʻao komohana o ka South Plaza - ʻike ʻia ʻo Las Gemelas no kāna ʻano ʻano like ʻole, ʻoiai he ʻelua ʻano kūkulu kiʻekiʻe o luna o ka hale haʻahaʻa. He hale nānā poepoe pū kekahi ia i loko o kahi hale pyramidal, stelae o nā kiaʻi i ke ʻano o nā ʻānela e hoʻopili ana i ka puka
Loaʻa iā ia ka waha o ka nahesa kokoke i ʻekolu mau mika ke kiʻekiʻe, i ʻae iā mākou e ʻike i kahi mana ʻuhane ikaika, ʻaʻole like me nā wahi archaeological pre-Hispanic.
I kēia manawa, loaʻa ʻia ke komo e kahi ala ākea kiʻekiʻe loa, no laila ke kokoke nei ke aupuni mokuʻāina e hoʻopau i kahi bypass ma kahi o ʻeiwa mau kilomita e alakaʻi pololei i kahi mākaʻikaʻi mākaʻikaʻi maikaʻi, nona ka wahi i kū i ke kaona o Temozón, i ka hoʻohui ʻana i ka pōmaikaʻi i ka poʻe o Valladolid a me Tizimín, nā mea āpau ma Yucatán, a me nā hopena pololei i ka heluna kanaka ma mua o 12 tausani poʻe.
