Naachtun appears to have flourished between about 500 and 800 AD, believed to be a time of almost constant warfare in the Mayan area.
Naachtun was located between the two great powers and came to be important to both the war and trade strategies of the rival kingdoms.
Naachtun, which is 130 kilometers north of the city of Flores, was founded around 400 BC and is believed to have been home to up to 20,000 people at the peak of its powers.

Il gruppo tenterà di spiegare come i Naachtun sopravvissero al crollo della grande civiltà pre-classica di Mirador, per poi fiorire nel corso dei secoli, tra il 500 e l’800 d.C., ritenuto un periodo di guerra quasi ininterrotta nell’area Maya, con Tikal e Calakmul, le due superpotenze regionali impegnate in una battaglia sanguinaria per la supremazia.
Naachtun era situata in linea diretta lungo la rotta tra i due grandi poteri e divenne d’importanza vitale sia per le strategie di guerra che per il commercio tra i due regni rivali.
Gli archeologi non sono sicuri se Naachtun fosse un territorio neutrale come la Svizzera dei tempi moderni, dove la gente di entrambe le parti poteva incontrarsi per discutere, o più simile all’attuale Afghanistan, un’entità posizionata in modo strategico dove le terze parti in guerra avrebbero esercitato una forte influenza.
