The structures were discovered on the Yucatan Peninsula, in the state of Quintana Roo. They are believed to date from the Maya Classic period, which lasted from about 250 BCE to 900 CE.
One of the most interesting structures is a large pyramid buried underground. The pyramid is about 30 meters high and about 60 meters wide. Archaeologists believe that the pyramid was the residence of a Mayan king.
Other structures found include palaces, temples, and houses. Archaeologists believe these structures were part of a large Mayan city.
The discovery is significant because it provides new insights into Maya culture and society. Archaeologists hope that further research will reveal more about Maya history and their way of life.
Archaeologists use LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology to find these structures. LIDAR is a technology that uses lasers to map the Earth’s surface.
These structures were buried under the jungle for centuries.
Archaeologists believe that the structures were abandoned by the Maya for unknown reasons.
This discovery will open up new opportunities for archaeological research in the Yucatan Peninsula.
