التاريخ والاستكشاف
The original name of Moral-Reforma remains undeciphered from the inscriptions found at the site. The name it bears today was given by Teobert Maler, likely in reference to a nearby hacienda. The site encompasses an area of 215 acres (87 hectares) and is organized into five groups of structures and mounds, displaying characteristics of the بيتين architectural style, such as recessed or inset corners.
Ceramic evidence suggests that Moral-Reforma was settled by 300 BC, with the majority of its structures dating from its peak period between 600-800 AD. The site’s history is marked by its involvement in the power struggles between the great Maya kingdoms of Palenque and كالكمول, as well as their respective allies. Inscriptions record various events, including attacks, subjugations, and accession ceremonies, highlighting the shifting political landscape and alliances of the time.
