'''Palenque''' ('''Bàak'''' in [[Yucatec Maya language|Modern Maya]]) is a [[Maya civilization|Maya]] [[archeological site]] near the [[Usumacinta River]] in the [[Mexican state]] of [[Chiapas]]. It is a medium-sized site, much smaller than large sites like [[Tikal]] or [[Copán]]. It does, however, contain good examples of [[architecture]], [[sculpture]], [[roof comb]] and [[bas-relief]] carvings of the Maya time.
