History
Kiuic (/kjuˈiːk/kyoo-EEK) was a Maya city of the Late and Terminal Maya Classic Periods, with evidence of earlier occupation. It was abandoned by the Maya around 880 CE. The site is well-preserved, and in that regard compared by archaeologists to Pompeii.
The site has been undergoing archaeological exploration since 2000, in part by Millsaps College archaeologists. Kiuic was extensively discussed in a PBSNova and National Geographic special.
