The main palace is higher than the Kukulcán temple in Chichén Itzá and you still can climb the structures.
Recently they found an 80% intact stucco façade of the mausoleum of Ukit Kan Le’k Tok’, the most important Maya ruler of Ek Balam, with more than 7000 thousand pieces of offerings. Dating back to the 8th century. Simply amazing!
