The ruins of Palenque are hidden in the jungle
And you can only see the bits that have been excavated through the trees.
They have a lot of intricate carvings in the sheltered areas, but those are pretty dark.
They’re also at the tops of the temples, so you have to climb all the stairs to see them.
Most of the carvings are writing, and most of the writing is dates.
Most of the buildings have these weird comb things on the roof
But most of the comb thingies are falling apart.
It’s a lot of stairs
The priests must have been in good shape.
I don’t think I can tell you what’s going on here. The girls would probably be amused, but readers with dangly bits tend not to like talking about stabbing them with sharp objects.
They didn’t even drink the water in the canals, they brought bottled spring water down from the mountains for drinking. This is just for washing.
This is the ball court.
