Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: I almost drove by the site, not expecting it to be beside the road.
Kabah is a Maya archaeological site in the south-east of the Mexican state of Yucatán. Kabah is to the south of Uxmal, and is connected to that city by a grand 18 km long raised pedestrian causeway 5 meters wide with monumental arches at each end. Kabah is the second largest ruin of the Puuc region after Uxmal. The name "Kabah"is taken to be archaic Maya language for "strong hand". The area was inhabited by the mid 3rd century BC. Most of the architecture now visible was built between the 7th century and the 11th century. A sculpted date on a doorjamb of one of the buildings gives the date 879, probably around the city's height. Kabaah was abandoned or at least no new ceremonial architecture built for several centuries before the Spanish conquest of Yucatán. |
