As we left the bus the Plaza was full of interesting
employees
Catherine wasn't exactly sure how close she
was gong to get. She actually went pretty wide
as we were heading on.
Once the walk began. It was alway and contest
with Diane and Stephen. If you look back on
most of the pictures Edie usually took the
position that they used to call "Drag" in the
cowboy days. She made sure we were all
accounted for.
The Flowers were really pretty......The one on the
right is still the prettiest Flower that I know.
Lets see.....Where is my sunglasses? Maybe
I left them at the same place I left my razor.
Good thing for an understanding Wife. Thanks
Hun!
This site is real similar to Solomon's Temple. It had the
same number of entrances. All lined up waiting our turn
to get through.
Dang.....these guy liked rocks.
Smiles that no one got stuck.
Only the High Priests were allowed to have homes
inside the walls. Only on High Priest could live in the home.
After they died that was it......They were buried under the Altar
with their Jade and other items........Kids, Wife, etc.
You can see the hole in this house where that was.
A closer look at the burial site.
A few guest that were just enjoying the landscape.
These watch towers were on each corner of the
compound.
Another example of the Myan Calendar. You would
need to stand on the steps at this exact location and
site up.
Can you see the other site? The sun would come
through on the June 21st.....If your were on the
steps.
We are looking at the Temple and Holy of Holy's.
Great view......BTW....This guy was not part of
our Book of Mormon Group.
In front of the Temple about 3 O'Clock is the alter
wee they did animal sacrifice. As they got more Pegan
they would go up the stairs to where they would do the
Human Sacrifice.
The three doors on the Top are symbolic of
the three degrees of glory. The one on the right and
the other on the left were only one room. The one in the
middle actually had two room that had the veil in it as a
divider.
This is a close up on the engraving overhead of
the room. He is upside down, with his feet at the top
and Headress on the bottom. He is the white God that came
down from Heaven.
The engraving on the right side is of a God right side
up on his right side. Now....who could that be? On his
left is a cut out without a body in it. Go Figure!!
This is the backside of what was symbolic of the Celestial Kingdom.
Notice the hole close to the corner. It had two meanings or purposes.
Because of the Coral reef. There was only one way to get in from the coast without
crashing your boat. The Spanish had a difficult time. There is another hole on the opposite
side on the wall. You had to be able to see both at the same time which would
indicate that you were in the position to enter without hitting the Coral Reef.
It was also symbolic of the two being necessary (husband and wife) to enter
the Celestial Kingdom.
A closer look so that you can see how easy it would be
to step to the side and not be able to see the hole. Especially
when you are trying to see each side.
Just can't believe how good the weather was.
Look real close and see if you can find the face on
the corner of this structure.
