Edzna Mayan Temple

 

According to the INAH Sign at the site entrance, the Mayans founded Edzna around 600 B.C., and occupied it until the 15th Century A.D. Archaeologists calculated that Edzna covered 25 square kilometers (about 9 3/4 square miles) and had a complete system for capturing, storing, and distributing water. Archaeologists believe that the word "Edzna" derived from the Mayan word "Itzna", meaning "house of the Itzaes". Archaeologists believe Itza was the name of the family which ruled Edzna between 800 - 1000 A.D., and was given to all of the inhabitants of the area. Thus, the people of other cities and communities called the inhabitants "Itzaes".
