Anyway, i like ancient Mayan architecture. Do you have any examples of Mayan details in contemporary architecture in Mexico? That could be very cool. You can create a new Mexican/Mayan architectural style with these details, so Mexico could distinguish itself from the rest in a very unique and positive way. |

I cluttered it with too many images, and not in Mexico, and yes i think that to myself everyday, and not just with mayan Puuc, but with others Mayan styles , and from other civilizations as well(e.g zapotec)

Amazing. I wonder what these structures must have looked like when in use.

 This place must have looked really imposing in its heydays. Great thread. I love ancient pre-columbian art & history. Please keep posting. BTW I didn't know the site of Xochicalco was so huge. How many people lived at its peak? |
