Uxul

Uxul is an ancient Maya settlement in Campeche, Mexico, dating from the Preclassic to the Classic period (1–500 AD). It was a powerful city with monumental architecture, including a ball court, stelae with hieroglyphic inscriptions, and numerous royal tombs. The site is notable for exceptionally well-preserved skeletal remains, among the finest in the Maya region. The name "Uxul" means "at the end" in Maya and was coined by archaeologists Karl Ruppert and John H. Denison when they rediscovered the site in 1934 [1].
