- Xnaheb
Xnaheb is an archaeological site of the
pre-Columbian Maya civilization , one of five primary sites identified in the southern Belize region. [Leventhal (1992, pp.145,152); see also PDFlink| [http://www.famsi.org/reports/00077/report2.pdf "The Glyphic Corpus of Xnaheb"] |3390 KiB, section report in Wanyerka (2004).] The center is built on on a ridge of foothills that extends from theMaya Mountains , in what is now theToledo District ofBelize . [Pemberton (2005, p.10) ] C Michael Hogan has suggested that this site is not as substantive as nearbyNim Li Punit , since its major works are ´´facades built against hills´´. [Hogan (2007).] Based on certain architecural similarities between the two sites, it is possible that Xnaheb was originally founded as an offshoot of Nim Li Punit. [Dunham "et al." (1989, p.275).]ee also
