Mayan Ruins at Tulum, Mexico

 

Tulum is the site of a Pre-columbian walled city  which was at its height between the 13th and 15th centuries. It served as a major port  on the Caribbean sea particularly for its trade of obsidian. Tulum  was one of the last cities  built by and inhabited by the Maya. Tulum may also have been called  Zama , meaning City of Dawn, because it faces the sunrise.

Tulum continued to survive upto 70 years after the Spanish occupation of Mexico.It is believed that the diseases brought by Spaniards resulted in very high fatalities, devastating Mayan society, and eventually causing the city to be abandoned.
