resumeIn brief
The cultural site is considered together with its natural environment.
Useful to know
Calakmul is an ancient Mayan city in the Mexican Yucatán. The UNESCO site unites the archaeological remains and the protected rainforest around them. The city has had a significant role for many centuries. [1]
For architectural observation, consider not only the separate monumental building, but also the location of the settlement in the landscape. Modern vegetation is not enough to accurately restore the ancient appearance of any space. Distinguish between preserved construction, archaeological reconstruction, and the surrounding ecosystem; each of these parts tells a different aspect of the site's history.
