Lagunita and Tamchen: Lost Mayan cities back on the map!

The ruins of two Mayan cities that date as far back as 1,800 years ago have recently been found in Mexico.

Archaeologists have found two ancient Mayan cities hidden in the jungle of southeastern Mexico, and the lead researcher says he believes there are “dozens” more to be found in the region. Ivan Sprajc, associate professor at the Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts, says his team found the ancient cities of Lagunita and Tamchen on the Yucatan peninsula in April by examining aerial photographs of the region.
