Mayapan itu apa sih?

Mayapan (Màayapáan dalam bahasa Maya Modern; dalam bahasa Spanyol  Mayapán), (dibaca mī-ä-ˈpän) adalah sebuah situs Maya Pra-Kolumbus yang berjarak dua kilometer di sebelah selatan kota Telchaquillo, Munisipalitas Tecoh, sekitar 40 km di sebelah tenggara Mérida dan 100 km di sebelah tenggara Chichen Itza. Situs ini terletak di negara bagian Yucatán, Meksiko. Mayapan adalah pusat kebudayaan Maya di Semenanjung Yucatán pada zaman Pascaklasik Akhir dari 1220an sampai 1440an. Perkiraan total populasi kota tersebut adalah 15.000–17.000 orang, dan situs tersebut memiliki lebih dari 4.000 struktur di dalam tembok kota, dengan hunian-hunian tambahan di bagian luar.
