Researchers reveal that Mayan palace was lost over 1000 years ago, depicting a vast cultural civilization.

The Mayan empire flourished a larger part of present southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and Honduras before the arrival of Spanish conquerors. This palace found in Kuluba considered as the critical Mayan site, which links to the nearby cities of Chichen Itza and Ek' Balam, making Kuuba as Kuluba archaeological zone rendering the highs of ancient times.
