Noh Kah

Noh Kah is an ancient Maya city covering approximately 84 acres in the jungles of southern Quintana Roo, Mexico, near the Rio Hondo and the Belize border. Dating to the Early Classic period (250-600 AD), the site comprises six architectural groups: Hop Na, El Veinte, El Corozal, El Pocito, El Pich, and El Paredon. Serpent head glyphs found at the site suggest a connection to the Kaan (Snake) Dynasty of Dzibanche, which dominated the region during the 5th century. INAH conducted formal surveys after local residents discovered massive stone walls overgrown by jungle.
