I'm currently in El Salvador for a conference, and my interest in the history of Central America led me to an interesting question: did ancient Maya cities exhibit the same power-law patterns we observe in modern urban systems? We conducted a preliminary analysis of the ten largest settlement centers, measured by archaeological platform counts, in the Puuc region of the Yucatán, using published archaeological data. Platforms are raised foundations that supported buildings, including residential structures. Their number provides a proxy for the scale of an ancient settlement, although not a direct measure of population. The three graphs show some intriguing results. 1. Rank-size distribution: The number of platforms follows an approximate power-law relationship with exponent 0.676 and R² = 0.912. 2. Urban scaling: The relationship between settlement area and platform count follows a scaling exponent of 0.873, with R² = 0.954. 3. Residual analysis: Some settlements deviate systematically from the fitted curve, raising interesting questions about regional urban organization and the possible existence of different settlement hierarchies. These are preliminary findings based on a small sample, not yet evidence of a universal power law. Nevertheless, the patterns are worth investigating. At the Scientific Bitcoin Institute, we intend to expand this research using larger archaeological datasets, including LiDAR surveys, to better understand ancient urban development, economic organization, and the emergence of scaling laws. Our broader interest is whether common mathematical principles underlie complex human systems, from ancient cities and economic networks to modern decentralized systems such as Bitcoin. The parallels are intriguing, but establishing whether they reflect common underlying mechanisms will require further research.
