Lubaantun

This city is a classic period site dating between 700AD and 900AD according to archaeologist and thats truly unique about this city is the rounded corners of all the buildings, which is not found in many other cities unless the buildings are late classic and temples. Interestingly, the city was built without any lime mortar (lime stone burnt at 800 degrees Fahrenheit and turned into cement-like dust), the stones used to build the city were cut perfectly to fit in top of each other and attached to each other. Its incredible. Many figurines, and whistles the Maya used for celebrations were found at the site and no stelae that were the “newspapers” that made mention of deities, kings and ancestors. Perhaps the Maya never built any or perhaps they haven’t been found yet. Whatever the case, its an interesting place to visit. We recommend it!
