Detail InformationEdit

El Perú (also known as Waka’ ), is a pre-Columbian Maya archeological site occupied during the Preclassic and Classic (roughly 500 BC to AD 800). The site was the capital of a Maya city-state located near the banks of the San Pedro River in the Department of Petén of northern Guatemala. El Perú is 60 km (37 mi) west of Tikal.
The Maya city of Waka’ was rediscovered by oil prospectors in the 1960s. In the 1970s Ian Graham, a Harvard researcher, documented monuments at the site. Then in 2003 David Freidel, of Southern Methodist University, and Héctor Escobedo, of the University of San Carlos, began to excavate Waka’.
The site was named “El Perú” when rediscovered in the 20th century. Hieroglyphs identified and deciphered at the site have indicated that the ancient name for the site was “Waka’.” While both names are currently used interchangeably, El Perú predominates on extant maps. In the published literature, a conflated name is generally used, El Perú-Waka’.
