Set in the heart of Temozón, Yucatán, Mexico, the ancient city of Ek Balam thrived from 600 BC into 1600 AD, even longer than Chichen Itza. It is said to be an elite city used for the very rich. The most notable time period for Ek Balam is said to have been during the years of 700 BC to 900 AD. Like all Mayan fortifications, this was a 20 foot walled city and encompasses 5 square miles (15 kilometers). Most of the dense jungle has covered the ancient city and so much of its ruins have not been unearth yet. Therefore, there is much we do not know about this once thriving Maya community.
