Archaeologists discovered the palace-like building ahead of railway construction in Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula.
Archaeologists in Mexico have discovered two housing complexes, including a palace-like building, in the roughly 1,500-year-old Maya city of Kabah on the Yucatán Peninsula.
The palace-like structure is 85 feet long and is decorated with carvings of birds, feathers and beads, Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History said in a translated statement. The building's façade has a portico that includes eight pilasters, rectangular columns that project from walls.
The buildings also may have been used for administrative functions, Toscano Hernández said, noting that public meetings may have been carried out nearby.The carvings of birds, feathers and beads on the palace-like structure may have symbolized the relationship between the elites who lived in these structures and the Maya gods — something that would have helped to legitimize their status, Toscano Hernández said.
