about Piedras Negras

Piedras Negras is the modern name for a ruined city of the Pre-Columbian Maya civilization located on the north bank of the Usumacinta River in the Peten department of Guatemala. The name "Piedras Negras" means "Black Stones" in the Spanish language. The ancient Maya language name seems to have been have been Yokib ("Great Gateway" or "The Entrance").

Stela 1, Piedras Negras Dated 5 July 674

Piedras Negras to 850 AD. Its most impressive period of sculpture and architecture dated from about 608 through 810, although there is some evidence that Piedras Negras was already a city of some importance earlier. The artistry of the sculpture of the late classic period of Piedras Negras is considered particularly fine.

Before the site was abandoned, some monuments were deliberately damaged, including images and glyphs of rulers defaced, but images and glyphs of deities left intact, suggesting a revolt or conquest by people literate in Maya writing.
