An ancient city, previously known as Maya City, was discovered in southern Mexico's jungles. Mexico's anthropology institute revealed the news on Tuesday, June 20. The city is believed to have been an important centre thousands of years ago.
The city includes large pyramid-like buildings, stone columns, three plazas with imposing towers and other structures arranged in almost-concentric circles.
The Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH) named the ancient city "Ocomtum", meaning "stone column" in the Yucatec Maya language.
