Palenque - Chiapas
| Palenque is an amazing site located in the foothills of Chiapas, standing on stepped terraces, sloping walls, tall roof crests, and adorned with "stucco" masks. The Temple of the Inscriptions houses a funeral chamber, and other two room temples consist of the rear room being used as a shrine. Mural paintings are still evident at Palenque, with the pictures showing human beings , mainly priests & warriors, with varied costume and ornaments showing rituals & ceremonies. The colours are still vibrant from centuries of harsh climate surrounding the fertile valleys of Chiapas. The Temple of the Sun epitomises the true splendor of architecture the Maya's possessed, and inside the temple consists a carving of a Solar Panel, and the figures of two principal rulers of this historical city. |
