gets medieval.
This week, we're slipping back to per-colonisation America with three Mayan temples. The largest is the Temple of Kukulcan, also know as El Castillo or the Pyramid of Kukulcan, the central building of the Chichen Itza site. Built sometime between the 8th and 12th centuries, the structure is dedicated to the feathered serpent deity Kukulcán.
The second model is the Temple of the Masks, rather more prosaically known as Tikal Structure 5D-2. The Tikal site is in the rain forests of Guatemala and covers 16kmē. You may have spotted its massive roof comb (the sticky-up bit) in the Yavin scenes of Star Wars as the Millenium Falcon flies overhead!
The last of this week's trio is a smaller generic temple, similar to several found on the Tikal site. We could have carried on making slightly different types of temple and covered the whole of Tikal, but we've stopped at two for now.
