Kiuic

Kiuic is a Mayan archaeological site in the Puuc region of Yucatán, Mexico. The site has been under-going archaeological exploration since 2000, in part by Millsaps College archaeologists.[1] Kiuic was extensively discussed in a PBS Nova and National Geographic special.[2]

Kiuic was a Mayan city that was abandoned around 880 AD.[3] The site is well-preserved, and in that regard compared by archaeologists to Pompeii.[3]
