The construction of the Mayan Train has been accompanied by various programs such as the Archaeological Zones Improvement Program (Promeza), including the opening to the public of the spectacular ruins of Ichkabal located in the magical town of Bacalar, Quintana Roo.
The director of the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) commented that the state of Quintana Roo will be one of the states that will benefit the most from the Promeza program. In the same way it was announced that inside the Mayan city of Uxmal, Yucatan, recently a stela was found carved on both sides “It is a female deity, with large eyes, chins in the corners of the mouth and bare chest, has a pectoral with three rows of hemispherical pearls, bracelets with two rows of pearls and a reticulated skirt that covers up to the heels of the feet, holding a quetzal in his left hand. The theme of the large eyes may be linked to an identity with death,” stated the INAH director.
Similarly, the INAH director shared more details about the Mayan city of Ichkabal, the archaeological site that covered about 60 square kilometers, dating back more than 2,400 years, where its maximum splendor would have been in the middle of the first millennium and maintained until the fourteenth century. The so-called City of the Snakes makes evident the use of hydraulic engineering linked to the construction of the Customs of the Crocodiles.
