As part of our recent vacation we visited Cozumel and made a stop at a cool little museum called
Discover Mexico
These are all 1/50 Scale (or so I remember) models of various Mesoamerican monuments as they we believe they would have appeared in their glory days.
Complete with people (though no human sacrifices)
This was an interesting one a colonial church built on top of an Aztec temple (a pulp adventure just waiting to be written.
There are also many models of modern churches and other significant buildings. All and the location is well worth a look.
Cool photos Adam!
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing... put's me in mind of the old Neil Young song...
ReplyDelete"The people worked together
And they lifted many stones.
And they carried them
To the flatlands
But they died along the way
And they built up
With their bare hands
What we still can't do today".
I've been to some of the real Mayan ruins and they are truely impressive.
DeleteGreat tip ! We will spend two weeks on Cozumel in May. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteWow, $70 each for a tequila tasting? Those prices should be ridiculed.
ReplyDeleteNot sure where you got that we paid less than half that for the tour and got a tequila tasting as part of the package.
