Another wonderful temple for the saints. We had no time to go through a session but the guard did open the gate and let us go on the grounds and look around.
The ciebola tree is the tree pictured on the tree of life stela. It's on the left hand side of the temple.
We went to La Venta museum. It was like walking through the jungle with huge Olmec statues located throughout.
These huge heads weigh 18 tons
The plant leaves are huge also
A burial tomb
The governor. Very detailed.
This is a typical Jaredite boy just like the Jaredite civilization that lived in the same area 2000 years ago, (broad face and head)
Next on to Palenque. This Indian in white clothing is typical of the Indians who still live in the mountains and come down to sell their goods to the public.
Palenque was an amazing civilization
"And it came to pass" is written on the stone in hieroglyphs.
A model of part of the city
