Less than 1,000 members of the #Lacandon people live in the jungles of the State of #Chiapas, #Mexico where they remained practically isolated until well advanced the 20th century. Their language (jach t’aan – the “real speech”) is similar to that of the #Yucatec #Maya, their closest relatives within the #Mayan group. Many of them still worship gods such as “Hachakyum” - a solar deity - and consider the archaeological sites of Palenque and Bonampak as the sacred sites of their ancestors.
