Ichmul de Morley

Mexico

Ichmul de Morley, originally named Mut'ul, is a Maya culture archaeological site located in the municipality of Uayma, in eastern Yucatán, Mexico. It was a Maya city that reached its peak during the Late Classic and Early Postclassic periods of Mesoamerica, when it became an important center of political power in the region and the seat of a ruling dynasty. It is located between Chichen Itza and Ek' Balam and even with the significant power these sites acquired, it has been identified that the city managed to maintain its political autonomy. It was first documented by the archaeologist Sylvanus Morley in 1919 after the discovery of two large monuments with hieroglyphic inscriptions, in both, two rulers are depicted as Mesoamerican ballgame players.
