Kiuic: A Maya City Abandoned Mid-Meal

View show details

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Maya collapse through the lens of a single extraordinary site: Kiuic in the Puuc region of Yucatán. Unlike other cities that declined gradually, Kiuic was abandoned so abruptly that archaeologists found pots still on the fire and grinding stones left with corn. The show unpacks the groundbreaking research of George Bey and the Labná-Kiuic Project, the role of the Balam dynasty, the evidence from stucco masks and the temple of the red hands, and the question of what could cause such a sudden flight. Was it drought, disease, or a political catastrophe? The hosts discuss the difficulty of dating the abandonment precisely and what Kiuic tells us about the Terminal Classic period that other sites do not. Listeners who have followed earlier episodes on Puuc cities like Uxmal and Kabah will find new depth in this story of a place where life stopped mid-stride. #Kiuic #MayaCollapse #Puuc #Yucatán #GeorgeBey #LabnaKiuicProject #BalamDynasty #TerminalClassic #Abandonment #StuccoMasks #TempleOfTheRedHands #MayaArchaeology #Mesoamerica #QuickAbandonment #Drought #AncientHistory #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
