Among Maya settlements, unique architectural complexes are found. These are known as as E-Groups.
The Maya civilization was a Mesoamerican civilization developed by the Maya peoples.
E-Groups are named after “Group E” at the Classic period site of Uaxactun.
Mesoamerican archaeologists were the first ones to document it.
Uaxactun is located in the Petén Basin region of the Maya lowlands, in the present-day department of Petén, Guatemala. Uaxactun is an ancient sacred place of the Maya civilization.
At Uaxactun, the Group E complex consists of a long terraced platform with three supra-structures arranged along a linear axis oriented north-south.
At the site of Seibal, the oldest documented E-Group can be found.
