This time we hired a guide. He is Mayan, he speaks Mayan at home, and he has the characteristic nose.

The temples are built in form of pyramid. Ever 52 years, the solar  and the moon calendars are synchronized. At that moment, the Mayans started to build a pyramid over the old one, like a Matroska. This way it is very easy to find how many years a temple was used, by counting its platforms or looking into the temple to see what’s inside.

They were playing Pelote. Only using the hips, two players had to make pass the ball made of rubber through the whole. Faster they succeeded, better the prevision for crops it was. It is believed that the guy who made the strike, lived the triumph of getting out his penis, to impregnate the Mother soil with his blood. His wife had to pierce her tongue. If she talked too much, maybe it was worthy.

 

 

When we were on the top of the pyramid it started to rain. We started to run on the steep stairs of the big temple. Caro is fighting at the finish line.

After 10 minutes …
