Jungle, Forests & Inland Maya

Lubaantun, translated from Maya to English, means "place of the fallen rocks". So named because the contruction method used to create the structures at Lubaantun is unique, in that each stone used was carefully measured and cut to fit snugly next to it's nearby block and does not use mortar. Over time the ground beneath Lubaantun may have shifted and some of these mortarless blocks began to fall.
