 The structure was found near Mexico's popular resort city of Cancun, and was last used around 1,000 years ago. Archaeologists found the palace during a dig at the ancient ruined city of Kuluba, in the Yucatan state. The building itself is six metres (20 feet) tall, 55 metres (180 feet) long and 15 metres (49 feet) wide. It's believed that the structure was used over two separate Mayan periods, dating as far back as 600 AD. "This work is the beginning," said archaeologist Alfredo Barrera, speaking to Reuters.    |
