Yaxuná is a Mayan ruin in Yucatan in Mexico.
background
This Mayan city had its heyday in the classic or end classic. Finds testify to multiple changes of rule. In the early phase of the city, the entire ruling family was executed and buried at a pyramid. The new ruler erected a stele to commemorate the event. Jewelry and clothing indicate contacts in central Mexico. But the stele did not survive either. She was violated and also buried. The city is best known for having a 100 km long Sacbé of Coba ends. This was created after Coba had brought the city under his military control between the 6th century AD and the 8th century AD. Around 950 AD, the only 20 km distant moved Chichen Itza to war against Coba. A city wall was built to protect against possible attacks. But that didn't help, because Chichén Itzá overran the city and defeated it. Until the arrival of the Spaniards, only a few people lived here from now on, who did occasional maintenance work on the temple complex.
