Kohunlich Quitana Roo Mexico Mayan Masks

Photography by Bill Bell

Kohunlich comes the name "Cohune Ridge". Cohune is a species of fruiting palm common to the area.

The site is best known for its Temple of the Masks, an Early Classic pyramid whose central stairway is flanked by huge humanized stucco masks. Built around 500 A.D., this is one of the oldest constructions at the site. After 700 A.D., this temple was covered over with a Terminal Classic construction, this protected the masks and allowed for the masks to remain in excellent shape with some of the original colors.
