Always love to know more about the pyramids and you do such a great job of writing and explaining, Emese. I had no idea Chichen Itza had 2 previous names. I did know it had a couple or few iterations, also amazing. Like being raised from the dead. And being alone on the ball park, a wonderful feeling. And being at the top, El Castillo, when it could still be climbed. Love that photo where it's like you're looking over the shoulder of ChacMool! And odd as usual, how our posts intertwine, amiga, my June 13 post is on Alice Dixon Le Plongeon and her husband -- and their trip-explorations at Uxmal and drum roll, Chichen Itza and their discovery of ChacMool! We are synchronized somehow-could be our love of Yuc, PM and pyramids.

Thank you, Jeanine! It's always nice to hear your opinion on my pieces :) And I do love how posts intertwine, can't wait to read about Alice Dixon Le Plongeon and her husband - I thought I had to mention them re the ChacMool. There is so much more to it than a footnote lol. Yes, it must be our love for Yuc, the Maya, and their history. Love it!

We really are on the same wavelength! Uncanny. I’d read a great book about them given me by a very good friend/ A Dream of Maya. Desmond and messenger/ you may know it/ thus the article.
