Detail InformationEdit

La Corona is an ancient Maya city in Guatemala’s Petén department that was discovered in 1996 and later revealed to be the long-sought “Site Q”, a prominent, undiscovered Maya city. “La Corona” means “the crown” in Spanish; the first archaeologists to study the site named it this after seeing a row of five temples that resembled a crown.
One Mayan princess, daughter of the king Yuknoom Took’ K’awiil, married a king of La Corona in 721.
During the 1960s, looted Maya artifacts referring to a then-unknown city surfaced on the international black market. Peter Mathews, then a Yale graduate student, dubbed it “Site Q”, the Q being short for “que?” which means “what” in Spanish.
La Corona has been heavily looted, and many of the buildings are in poor condition. A main plaza has been identified, along with several temples. The Site Q inscriptions have led scholars to believe that La Corona and Calakmul were allies.
Due to the recent discovery of the site, only a portion of the city has been excavated, although teams from various universities and the National Geographic Society are attached to the site.
