The archaeological site of Oxkintok (osh-kin-tok)—located 5 km (3 miles) east of Maxcanú, off Carretera 180—was an important Maya capital that dominated the region from about AD 300 to 1100. Little was known about it until excavations began here in 1987. Structures that have been excavated so far include two tall pyramids and a palace with stone statues of several ancient rulers. Archaeologists debate the meaning of the name: Some say oxkintoc means "three days of flame"; others interpret it as "three days of hardship."
