Lamanai
Lamanai (from ''Lama'anayin'', "submerged crocodile" in Yucatec Maya) is a Mesoamerican archaeological site, and was once a considerably sized city of the Maya civilization, located in the north of Belize, in Orange Walk District. The site's name is pre-Columbian, recorded by early Spanish missionaries, and documented over a millennium earlier in Maya inscriptions as ''Lam'an'ain''. ==History== Lamanai was occupied as early as the 16th century BC.〔(Lamanai Archaeological Project site )〕 The site became a prominent centre in the Pre-Classic Period, from the 4th century BC through the 1st century CE. In 625 CE, "Stele 9" was erected there in the Yucatec language of the Maya.〔Michael P. Closs (The Hieroglyphic Text of Stela 9 ), Lamanai, Belize, Retrieved 6/26/2009〕 Lamanai continued to be occupied up to the 17th century AD. During the Spanish conquest of Yucatán Spanish friars established two Roman Catholic churches here, but a Maya revolt drove the Spanish out.〔 The site was subsequently incorporated by the British in British Honduras, passing with that colony's independence to Belize. Also the British has settled in Lamanai and made a sugar mill.
