We just learned about the Mexican state of Tabasco where the Spanish first landed in Mexico.
Another state in Mexico is Yucatán.
This state is on north end of the bottom tail of Mexico, right on the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean.

Yucatán's coat of arms is green and yellow.
It shows a deer for the native Mayan people, jumping over an agave plant which grows in the area.
On the top and bottom are Mayan arches, and the left and right are Spanish towers, for the two different people that live there.

Another big pyramid on Yucatán is the Pyramid of the Magician in the town of Uxmal, which is over 13 stories tall.
The name of the pyramid comes from old legends that said a magician built it in one night.
