State Chiapas, México Boat station Contemporary Present |
Comments: Yaxchilán was a large urban center, important throughout the Classic Period, and the super-power of the Usumacinta River area. It dominated such smaller sites as Bonampak and had a long rivalry with Piedras Negras, and at least for a time, with Palenque and Tikal. |
