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.

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