Monte Albán, located in Oaxaca, Mexico, is one of the country's most significant archaeological sites and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Zapotec civilization founded it around 500 BCE and served as its political and cultural center for over a thousand years. The city was strategically built on a flattened hill, providing a panoramic view of the Oaxaca Valley.
Monte Albán reached its peak between 300 and 700 CE, boasting impressive architectural achievements, including pyramids, palaces, and ball courts. The site is also renowned for its carved stone monuments known as "Danzantes," which depict dancers or possibly tortured captives, providing insights into the Zapotec society and rituals.
The decline of Monte Albán began around 750 CE and ended when it was abandoned. The reasons for its decline remain a subject of scholarly debate, but they are believed to be due to political, social, and environmental factors. Today, Monte Albán is an essential window into pre-Columbian history and culture, attracting thousands of visitors annually.
