Holy crap, it's George H.W. Bush!

Mayans liked flat foreheads and crossed eyes. She’s saying that what they put on the forehead also crosses the eyes. At other sites I’ve been told they would put something between a babies eyes so they would focus on it and go cross-eyed.

 

[Saint Greg]

This is what a Mayan ruler would have looked like. A lot of jade which they did not have around here. They had it in Belize and Guatemala. You may remember from Altun Ha that was where the Jade head was found. The crown jewel of Belize. In the temple that is on the Belikin Beer bottle.

 

[Saint Greg]

This is the Mayan class structure.
 

[Saint Greg]

That’s an all spice tree. They had those at Altun ha in Belize. The leaves smell like cinnamon. That’s where we were told bodies would be covered in them to take the smell away.

I am walking between two houses.
 

[Saint Greg]

These are the front steps to the houses. This is basically like a street with houses on each side and one at the end.

 

[Saint Greg]

Look out for the ants. Putting the off on won’t keep them off

This is our last stop. It’s the front side of the first temple we saw.
 

[Saint Greg]

That’s a chewing gum tree. You can see the slashes in it from where people got the gum.

This would totally be me.

Rulers were buried at final temple but looters were here before the archaeologists so they were not found.

 

[Saint Greg]

Altar where offerings were left for the gods. They did not sacrifice people on the altar here. Here they threw people off the top of the temple.

 

[Saint Greg]

We were given 30 minutes to do whatever we want and be back on the bus.

 

[Saint Greg]

I encountered a monkey family.

Whew!  I was worried for a second.  

[Saint Greg]

I climbed as high as allowed on this temple
