Mexico-6149 - Ek' Balam Tomb

PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks. This is real, not a recreation. Beneath the outermost layer of the pyramid wall archaeologists discovered the amazing tomb of the ruler of Ek' Balam (Ukit Kan Le'k Tok'). With the exquisite and awesome stucco wall making up the opening of the tomb. The doorway itself is made in the shape of a jaguar's mouth with fearsome looking fangs all around it. There are full figure statues with so much detail you can see the braids in their hair and the pattern of their loincloths. Hieroglyphs of corn sit next to warriors with skulls on their belts. In some places you can see some wall paintings in excellent shape. This unique stucco wall takes the breath away from even the most seasoned ruin buff and is in itself reason enough to visit Ek Balam. Its equal cannot be found anywhere else in the Mayan World
