Archaeologists in the Archaeological Zone of Dzibanché, Mexico, have unearthed three ancient relief facades depicting motifs tied to the powerful Kaanu’l dynasty, a ruling Maya lineage represented by the serpent symbol ( kaan in Mayan). These newly uncovered reliefs, located in structures near Ball Game II in Dzibanché, date back to the Early Classic period (AD 500-600) and depict symbols of power and ancestry, reinforcing Dzibanché’s role as an influential seat of the Kaanu’l lineage.
