"Destroyed remains of a wall built on the main Sacbe of Ake that connected with Izamal in the Early Classic period, prove there was a relation between both cities that ended at some point."
“The wall is 4.8 meters wide and has an external layer of thick limestone block and the interior shows 2 stepped alignments."
