#discoverspace #newblogpost #Palenque The city may be divided into three separate periods: Early, Middle, and Late Classic. Most of the larger buildings at Palenque date to the middle period, whilst the Late Classic saw the construction of terraced fortifications for defence against central Gulf Coast peoples. Built on three different levels, the city follows the contours of the local terrain, and many of the limestone #temple structures are built on natural hills. Palenque, with over 1,000 different structures, was one of the most densely populated of all #Maya cities. Eight small rivers running down from the surrounding #mountains wind their way through the city. The most important such stream was called Otulum which was re-directed to bring water directly to the royal #palace, and, in places, made to follow an underground aqueduct which supported platforms and walkways. #Architecture
