Unlike Lubaant\u00fan, this site does not have monumental architecture, but it does have a set of 26 monumental steles, of which seven have inscriptions made in sandstone rock and slate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of its monuments, Stela 14 stands out, which at 9.4 m high is the tallest in Belize and the second tallest in the Mayan World. In addition, the ruler wears a hat-shaped headdress, which gave the site its name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its central area is made up of a ceremonial group and two residential groups. The ceremonial center consists of two squares: The Plaza de las Estelas was where their monuments were placed and where the largest pyramid of the site is located, 12 m high. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Plaza de las Tumbas Reales, located to the west, contains buildings and funerary enclosures. To the west is a ball court, which leads to the Ninki Pec and Akam residential groups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their steles are exhibited in the site&#039;s Visitor Center, as well as a sample of ceramic and lithic artifacts recovered from tombs and other contexts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The site of\u00a0<strong>Pusilh\u00e1<\/strong>\u00a0It is located between the Poit\u00e9 and Machaca rivers, in a relatively flat valley, although some of the main architectural groups were located on terraces on hillsides. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Acropolis is located on Gateway Hill, on the southeast side of the site, which has a ball court at its base. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To access this group you had to cross the Machaca River through a stone bridge. Towards the northwest is the largest number of buildings, grouped in the Plaza Moho and the Plaza de las Estelas, as well as another ball game court. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The site of\u00a0<strong>Uxbenka<\/strong>\u00a0It is part of the same cultural sphere as Lubaant\u00fan, Nim Li Punit and Pusilh\u00e1, evidenced by their architectural similarities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is located near the Blanco River, on a hill where an acropolis-type complex was built, whose base rises 9 m, which served as the ceremonial and administrative center of the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>These are the names of the first men who were created and formed: the first man was Balam-Quitz\u00e9, the second Balam-Acab, the third Mahucutah and the fourth Iqui-Balam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Popol Vuh<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A solamente 15 km al este de Lubaant\u00fan se encuentra\u00a0Nim Li Punit, que durante el Cl\u00e1sico Tard\u00edo pudo formar parte de la misma entidad pol\u00edtica que Lubaant\u00fan.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1347,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-599","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sitios-arqueologicos-que-visitar-belice"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gomundomaya.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gomundomaya.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gomundomaya.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gomundomaya.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gomundomaya.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=599"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gomundomaya.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/599\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":601,"href":"https:\/\/gomundomaya.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/599\/revisions\/601"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gomundomaya.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1347"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gomundomaya.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gomundomaya.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gomundomaya.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
