Book your vacation through Jaunts by Janet Morgan and Visit Ancient Mayan Culture!
Let Janet arrange your cruise vacation and your tour of the ancient Mayan City of Kohunlich in Quintana Roo on the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico.
| Kohunlich discovered in 1912, dates back to approximately A.D. 500 to 1200, when it was a ceremonial center and the home of an influential dynasty. The most important building discovered so far is know as Los Mascarones, or the Temple of the Masks, where five remaining stucco masks line the staircase to the temple. The masks represent the ancient Mayan rulers portrayed with the features of the Sun God. There are also several ruins of residential areas and of a ball court, where games were often played for keeps-that is, the winners got to keep their heads! (Or, the captain of the winning team was sacrificed to the gods, depending on the school of thought.) |
