Sunday already!



Temple of the Jaguars on top of the ballfield wall, at the entrance











The top of El Castillo, the main temple with a depiction of a skull in the masonry












In case you thought El Castillo wasn't all that steep, check out this picture I took looking up the steps!


































The Temple of a the Warriors/Thousand Columns; the detail pic above shows some of the decor on the temple, and you can see a few of the columns in the pic below.














The Tzompantli; the word usually refers to a skull rack on which actual skulls taken in battle are displayed.
























A detailed pic of some of the skulls;
it is said that each of them is different!

  1. Those skulls look great. I guess I now have to add Mexico on my list of things to do ...
