June 2022 . Although I have actually remained in Mexico previously, the last time remained in 1994-1995. Twenty-seven years later on, Oriol and I are doing a timeless trip of the United Mexican States, including Mexico City (CDMX); Palenque in Chiapas; Villahermosa in Tabasco; Uxmal, Mérida, Chichen Itza, Ek’ Balam, Valladolid,  and a couple of cenotes (waterholes) in Yucatán and Tulum in Quintana Roo We returned through Cancún to CDMX and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol

Ekʼ Balam is a Yucatec-Maya historical site within the town of Temozón in Yucatán in Mexico. It depends on the Northern Maya lowlands, 25 kilometres (16 mi) north of Valladolid and 56 kilometres (35 mi) northeast of Chichen Itza. From the Preclassic till the Postclassic duration, it was the seat of a Mayan kingdom.

The website is kept in mind for the conservation of the plaster on the burial place of Ukit Kan Lek Tokʼ, a king buried in the side of the biggest pyramid.

45

Ek’ Balam has 45 structures. The primary ones are:

1. The Protective Walls, which end on both sides at an unsurpassable, high sink hole.
2. The Entryway Arch stands at the entryway of Ekʼ Balam on 4 legs, built over the roadway that leads into the city, and was most likely ritualistic in function.
3. The Oval Palace included burial antiques and its positioning is presumed to be linked to cosmological events.
4. Structure 17 or The Twins atop of which there are 2 matching temples on either side.
5. Chapel
6. A sculpted stela which portrays a ruler of Ek Balam, potentially Ukit Kan Leʼk Tokʼ.
7. Structure 12
8. Structure 10 is a platform whose base dates to the Late Traditional however was built on by later on generations.
9. Structure 7
10. The Ballcourt was finished in 841.
11. Structure 2 on the west corner of the Castle is among the big platforms that comprise the primary plaza and includes a temple in one corner.
12. Steam Bath.
13. Structure 3 on the east corner of the Castle is an unexcavated platform that surrounds the primary plaza.
14. Structure 1 or the Castle on the north side of the website is the biggest structure at Ekʼ Balam and is thought to consist of the burial place of Ukit Kan Leʼk Tokʼ, a crucial ruler in Ekʼ Balam. Excavations on it started in 1998, when it was simply a mound.
15. This is the temple in which Ukit Kan Leʼk Tokʼ was buried, called El Trono (‘‘ The Throne’). The entrance remains in the shape of a monster-like mouth, potentially illustrating a jaguar.

A see

This time MexiGo was our trip operator and we were not alone as a couple from Bavaria signed up with. Our guide – – I forgot his name – – was likewise our motorist. Once again, the trip was informative.

Ek’ Balam is a less popular area, so it was not crowded. You might climb up pyramids here, and is really high. Decreasing once again is the tough part.
