Conclusion-Summary of what was learned This photo shows that Edzná is located in an area based on temporary agriculture and that the climate is hot and subhumid, a typical climate type of the Yucatan Peninsula. This is temporary agriculture because water from summer and autumn rains is used to water crops, and in other months to plant and harvest. This image shows that Edzná is located in an area of ​​humid jungle vegetation. This means that the trees there are very tall and have very thick trunks. There are a wide variety of species that are green all year round. This photo shows that Edzná is located in what is called the Yucatán Peninsula. This peninsula extends into Guatemala and has many elements that differentiate it from other regions of the country. Edzná lies in a featureless area (a plain), but there are many underground rivers and cenotes, which the people of Edzná have learned to take advantage of. This photo shows that in the area where Edzná is located there are not many rivers or lakes. (the closest being the Candelaria River), but the inhabitants of the ceremonial center were nevertheless agile enough to use the water from all the cenotes and underground rivers to create canals and have a complex irrigation system. EdznáEdzná is one of the most interesting and famous Mayan cities, due to its unique architecture and all its discoveries. It is known for being one of the most technologically advanced cities of its time, particularly for its complex irrigation systems. Edzná, “House of the Itzaes”, presents many mysteries to archaeologists, due to its unprecedented development and complexity as a pre-Hispanic city. Edzná connects to the realm of naive human interaction since in this place you can see in many ways how humans change and interact with the nature around them, and also how nature makes humans change to adapt to it. Many sources were used for the research of this project, including the journal Arqueomex, several books on Edzná and the INAH website..
