Venturing into Quintana Roo, David and Cassie visit the ruins of two fascinating cities of Early Classic Period, Kohunlich and Dzibanche. These Maya sites were among the first to dominate the region. In this video, Dr. Miano will provide valuable information on the origins of the Snake or Kan Dynasty, probably the most famous of all ruling powers in ancient Mexico. Also discussed are the importance of Maya emblem glyphs and the practice of bloodletting.
We hope you enjoy watching this #antiquitiestravelguide about #Dzibanche and Kohunlich as much as we enjoyed making it.
