My very first set of ruins....if you think being in one of the Cathedrals (see past blogs with pics is a powerful experience, it does not begin to hold a candle to this...ancient and powerful, what it took to uncover these ruins from the jungle...what it took to build this city.
Shot of the Pyramid of Niches, just a guess, but they are supposed to represent the cave that are entrances to the underworld. This pyramid was bright read with the insides of the nicehes gloss black...Hard to imagine, but these and all pyramids were covered with plaster and then colored in bright pigments.
This is what the city looked like back in the 12th century, over 150 buildings found but only 20 excavated so far.
Sacrificing Greg to Tlaloc, I thought it might be a good idea to do this...Greg didn´t.
