The Yucatan Peninsula is in the Mexican territory of Quintana Roo. It is an uninhabited peninsula lying between the Chetumal Bay and the Caribbean Sea. It is equally desolate between the Bay and the Great Bacalar Lagoon. Before the Spanish conquest of Yucatan it was the home of the Maya clans. The ancient Maya manuscript book of Chilan Balam of Chumayel records the migrations of Maya clans and describes also the migration of the Itzas from Chichenitza to Coba, which is about 50 miles to the east of Chichenitza. The British Museum Guide to the Maudsley Collection of Maya Sculptors has further reference to the period of the Mayas.
