Maya Ruins of Mexico

 

T A B A S C O

 

The ruins of Tabasco are limited to two separate and distinct locations. The ruins of Pomoná and Comalcalco.

COMALCALCO

Located in Tabasco, is the most westward city of the Maya area. It is differentiated from other Maya sites by its use of brick as a substitute for stone. Its highest development came at the same time as that of other large cities of the Classic, including Palenque, with which it had close ties. It may have even been an out post for military reasons from the high command at Palenque.

Comalcalco's ruins show three large ceremonial complexes. The Grand Acropolis, the North Group, and the East Acropolis. Individual structures include the Palace, the site's biggest building, and temples located in the Grand Acropolis. There is a large stuccoed mask in one temple which depicts the sun as Kinich Ahua (Lord of the Sun's Eye) or as Kinich Kakmó (Sun Fire Macaw). Not far from the Palace is found the so-called Tomb of Stuccoes on whose walls can be found stuccoed figures. They may represent the nine lords of the underworld.

POMONA -

Pomoná is a site that dates from the late Classic, and it lies in the valley of the Usumacinta River as it jogs into the state of Tabasco. Recent archaeological explorations have uncovered six buildings for viewing. It is one of the settlements for which an emblem glyph, indicating its role as one of the main sites in the region, has been identified. Without doubt the site had connections with such city-states as Yaxchilán, whose chieftain Jaguar Bird is depicted on a tablet at Pomona. There also is evidence from a stelae, dated 795 A.D. at Piedras Negras that connects Pomoná to Yaxchilán.
