About Edzna
The oldest relics from Edzna date from 400 BC and are indicative of an agrarian society. The first Mayan in the area were farmers and the city appears to have grown slowly until 250 BC when it suddenly had a growth spurt, with numerous new buildings and the introduction of canals and raised terraced gardens that anthropologists callaguadas. The city grew rapidly until about 150 AD. This period also saw improvements and expansion of the irrigation systems with the construction of aqueducts and canals that would carry the water up to 12 kilometers. With growth and success came the increased risk of attack by jealous rival cities, so Edzna built fortifications and a moat around the core city. They didn't end up needing them though since there is no record that any rival city ever attacked Edz
