El Palma, known anciently as Lakamtuun, is an archaeological Maya site located in the Lacantún river of Chiapas in Mexico. El Palma or Lakamtuun was an ancient Mayan state of the Classic period that ruled a part of the western territory of the Usumacinta Basin along the Lacantún River. According to the inscriptions found in the region, the site faced constant wars against other Maya states of the Usumacinta region, mainly with Yaxchilan.[1]
