Ancient Settlement in Campeche.
Dating to Classic and Post Classic periods. Quarried for stone in 19th - 20th centuries. A few monuments with sculpture and hieroglyphic texts are still visible. 100 meters north of the main structures there is a semi-dry cave (known as Miramar, Actun Huachap, or Huachabi.)
The cave is known for brownish red and red linear "stick" figures from both the pre and post colonial era.
Sources include: Images from the Underworld: Naj Tunich and the Tradition of Maya Cave Painting By Andrea J. Stone.
