And saw this view....
Here's a few other pyramids and buildings.
None of the pyramids are solid - all of them have chambers and tunnels and sarcophoguses (how do you spell that!??) inside
This is the tower in the centre of the palace complex - which was apparently used to observe the stars. The Mayans were great astromoners - and had developed a very complex calendar - more sophisticated than any other at the time.
Many of the buildings are engraved - often with pictures of their daily lives - sometimes involving sacrifices or blood letting in order to communicate with the gods.
