Termination Ceremony at Kabah
Approved:
Lourdes Toscano Hernandez has been working at Kabah for INAH and has
found evidence of a termination ceremony there in Rooms 13 and 14
which consists of tearing apart door elements and evidence of burnt
soil has also been found. This kind of evidence of termination
rituals
has also been found at other Puuc cities such as Uxmal and Sayil.
Kabah came to an end in 1000 CE and had been occupied since 300 BCE.
The Maya elite may have carried these ceremonies out in preparation
for abandonment.
INAH has the story here;
