"The vast earthen platform, built more than 3,000 years ago, represents the oldest and largest monumental structure known in the Maya region"
"Remarkably, there is no trace of any rulers, palaces, or elite residences. Unlike later Maya cities, which were built under centralized authority, Aguada F茅nix seems to have been a collective project: a monumental achievement born of cooperation rather than coercion."
