Mexico – Who the Red Queen Was
In the midst of a dense jungle, Palenque is one of the most impressive and mysterious of all the ancient Mayan sites in Mexico. Its ruins lie next to the turbulent waters of the Osumakinta River.
After a long period of prosperity followed by decline, the jungle overgrew the city's buildings hiding them the eyes of invaders and thieves. Today, the ruins have been cleared and restored and the archaeological site attracts thousands of visitors. It is located in the Mexican state of Chiapas. Although not as large as Tikal, Chichen Itza or Copan, Palenque is a treasure trove of some of the best architectural designs, sculptures and bas-reliefs produced by the Mayans.
