UAXACTUN: His name in ancient times was Siaan Ka'an, which means Born from Heaven. This city was inhabited since the middle preclassic period about 900 a. C. and all the classic, having its maximum splendor of 500 d. C. to 900 d. C.
The earliest registration is in 328 d. C. in Stela 9 and the last one on 899 d. C. in Stela 12. This indicates that it was the city with the longest occupation of Petén. It was considered for a long time as the oldest, until the discovery of Nakbé and El Mirador, to the northwest, showed that these cities corresponded to the Early Preclassic period (1000 BC - 200 BC).
Like many other cities of the Classic, Uaxactún was abandoned at the beginning of the 10th century, being covered by the jungle, until its discovery at the beginning of the 20th century, in 1916, by Silvanus Morley during the government of Mr. Manuel Estrada Cabrera. It was in Uaxactún where the foundations for the investigation of the Mayan Civilization were laid and where a detailed study of the site began, carried out mainly, but not exclusively by the Carnegie Institution of Washington. In fact the excavations initiated by John Lloyd Stephens and Frederick Catherwood, made the Mayan Culture popular and known throughout the World.
