Mexico - Nohoch-Mul Pyramid in Cobá

So many views and not one single comment? Are you going to Mexico? Have you been at this great temple too? Feel free to comment, I tend to return the favour! :-) ``Cobá - beautiful and mysterious - was one of the largest of the Maya Ceremonial Cities, surrounded by five big lagoons and covered by an impressive natural jungle (its name means "ruffled waters"). It has the Pyramid Nohoch-Mul, 45 meters high, making it the tallest pyramid in the Yucatán Peninsula. Cobá is known for its extraordinary Mayan engineering which allowed them to make the “Sak-Be” (White Roads). These roads are especially important because we now know they connect Chichen Itzá, Yaxuna, and Cobá with more than 250 kilometers of roads. Both, the tallest pyramid and the greatest concentration of "Sak-Be" suggest Cobá was a major city - yet it was not discovered until the late 19th century. Even today, only a small fraction of the many structures in this vast site have been excavated and this, together with the remoteness and jungle setting, contribute to the feeling of exploring new ground.``
