Description
Tikal is one of the largest archaeological sites and urban centers of Mayan civilization.
Located in the Petén Basin in northern Guatemala, Tikal’s Mayan ruins are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Tikal was the capital of a conquest state that became one of the most powerful kingdoms of the ancient Mayas. Though monumental architecture at the site dates back as far as the 4th century BC, the city reached its apogee during the Classic Period, 200 to 900 AD. During this time, it dominated much of the Maya region politically, economically and militarily, while interacting with other areas throughout Mesoamerica and the great metropolis of Teotihuacan in the distant valley of Mexico. Tikal has been largely mapped and covers an area greater than 6 square miles that included about 3000 structures.
