| There are a handful of living survivors of the fall of the Third City: [[The Tomb-Colonies#The First Curator|the First Curator]] and the [[God-Eaters]], for example. To sink this city, the Masters offered the flesh of a [[Mr Eaten|god]] to the three leaders of this city, turning them into the monstrosities they are now. As for the god, let's just say it is very, ''very'' perturbed.

| The Third City may have been [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chichen_Itza Chichen Itza], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tikal Tikal], or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calakmul Calakmul]; this last city is located next to the modern settlement of Hopelchén, whose name means "place of five wells" in Yucatec Maya. Other than this, little is known, and there is essentially no proof for or against any specific Mayan city.
