Oxkintok submitted by davidmorgan : Looking across to the Pyramid at Oxkintok. (Vote or comment on this photo)
A huge Puuc style Maya city, dating from about 300 BCE, with many of its buildings dating from the Early Classic to the Terminal Classic.

Noted for its labyrinth (Tzat Tun Tzat), carved figure columns and a lintel with a Long Count date of 475 CE (I couldn't see this, maybe it's in a museum somewhere). Only the central area has been excavated, but you can see large structures in the surrounding area covered in vegetation.
