over a thousand years. Ferocious warriors, the Maya fought the Spanish
and held them in a stalemate for twenty years. Finally, in the end,
they walked away from their pyramids and temples and returned to the
fields leaving behind ruins that boggle the imagination. This collection

as Chichen Itza as well as detailed shots of some of the carvings
that covered almost every square inch of the temples. Also featured
is a haunting cave or Cenote outside Chichen Itza.
