On our cruise we stopped at Progresso, Mexico and traveled to see the Chichen Itza Mayan Temple. It took on an even more surreal feel since I had just recently read ‘The 43 Antarean Dynasties’ by Resnick.

Standing close to the base of the large temples and watching a religious sacrifice at the top must have been inspiring, it was amazing just standing at the base and imagining it all.

The ball court hoops are quite high up, at least 20′. We don’t know how the game was played, we do know the losing team was sacrificed to the gods at the end of the game.

Iguanas skitter all over the site occasionally stopping to sun themselves.

The local Mayan population spends its time now entertaining and selling crafts to tourists. Mayan is still a required subject in school so the language lives on.
