The construction of the Tren Maya has been accompanied by various programs such as the Program for the Improvement of Archaeological Zones (Promeza), highlighting the opening to the public of the spectacular Ichkabal ruins located in the magical town of Bacalar, Quintana Roo.
The director of the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) commented that the state of Quintana Roo will be one of the states most benefited by the Promeza program. It was also announced that within the Mayan city of Uxmal, Yucatán, a stele carved on both sides was recently discovered. “It is a female deity, with large eyes, chins at the corners of the mouth and bare chest, has a pectoral of three rows of hemispherical pearls, bracelets with two rows of pearls and a reticulated skirt that covers up to the heels of the feet, holds a quetzal in the left hand. The theme of the large eyes may be linked to an identity with death,” declared the director of the INAH.
Likewise, the director of the INAH shared more details about the Mayan city of Ichkabal, the archaeological site that covered around 60 square km, dating back more than 2,400 years, where its maximum splendor would have been in the middle of the first millennium and lasting until the 14th century. The so-called City of the Serpents makes evident the use of hydraulic engineering linked to the construction of the Customs of the Crocodiles.
