The Oldest and Largest Monument of Mayan Religion Revealed



A giant building almost one mile long has been found in southern Mexico. Researchers say that it may be the oldest and largest monument of Mayan heritage ever found.

The site called Aguada Fénix is ​​located in the state of Tabasco, on the base of the Gulf of Mexico. The building is vast for its age — showing the mysterious Mayan architecture.

Before the discovery was revealed, the Maya Ceibal site (Seibal) was designated as the oldest ceremonial center, dating from 950 BCE.

Aguada Fénix, which measures more than 1,400 meters, is estimated to come from the same time period, which is between 1,000-800 BCE. However, the size of the giant made it not come from that period.

"According to our knowledge, this is the oldest monumental construction ever found around Maya civilization. It is also the largest in pre-Hispanic history in the region, "the researchers said in their study.


Even more surprising, this large structure has actually been around for centuries but is not recognized by the modern Mexicans living around it.

"The area is very developed. There are people who live nearby because it's not a forest. However, the site is not recognized because it is very large and horizontal, like an ordinary natural landscape, "said Takeshi Inomata, research leader and archaeologist from the University of Arizona.

He is known to have some similarities with the Olmec San Lorenzo and La Venta sites around Veracruz. Even so, the lack of human-shaped sculptures at Aguada Fenix ​​gives a clue to the Ancient Mayans who inhabited this complex — distinguishing it from the Olmecs.
