In the XIII-XV centuries there were built two temples: the temple of the Scorpion and the temple Hands. For the first time about these artifacts mentioned in documents Dating back to the XVI century. Re-opened in 1842, the archaeological work was completed only to the middle of the last century. The walls of the temple of the Scorpion once adorned the figures of Scorpions, and the walls of the temple Arms were covered with handprints, but up to now these images are not reached. The upper part of the temple of the Scorpion was made of wood and up to our days has not been preserved. Have only floors and stone walls, deflected slightly outwards and forming a small room. To penetrate inside through the opening between the columns. On one of the ruined walls by archaeologists was found a small image of a Scorpion, this determined the name of the temple. On plastering one of the walls of the temple Arms, too, were found traces of the palm.

Scientists suggest that Yamil Luum was an important religious center of the Mayans. It is possible that the pyramid Yamil Luoma were used as beacons, because they were built on high ground. In addition, temples were notified residents about the coming of the storm. They are built in such a way that if the wind blew inside of the towers in the whole district was heard echoing whistle, warning of the approaching storm.
