Am enjoying learning more about Mayan history so we went to check out the lesser known Ek-Balam one morning. The name translates to “the black jaguar” or “bright star jaguar.” Ek-Balam’s most important cultural period was between 700 – 1000 A.D but it wasn’t until the late 1980’s when the site was mapped, and research continued … More Ek-Balam – almost all to myself
