Object description

El Temblor is an archaeological site in Petén Department, Guatemala which was once the location of a settlement of the Maya civilization. First recorded in 1974 by Ian Graham of Harvard University's Peabody Museum, the little-known site represents a medium-sized and compact settlement about 18 kilometres south-south-east of the ruined Mayan city of Tikal and about 13 kilometres north-east of the ruins of Ixlu. It is situated in a wooded area called Paso del Carmen, a few kilometers east of the modern village of El Caoba [es]. It is designated TMB in the Corpus of Maya Hieroglyphic Inscriptions.
