    Very nice moody artwork:

    BIIX A BEEL MAALOB KIIN.jpg

    …was labelled "BIXX A BEEL MAALOB KIIN" but aside from the "Ki'in" which means "sun," not sure about the rest. Awesome carving though.

    Found another AMAZING video. This one is a lecture by William Saturno, the guy who has a crazy adventure at the start of this video.



    This is the guy who found this:

    Today I booted my work PC and the background of the log-in screen was Chichen Itza, a picture from this perspective, just without people:

    Found this artwork, from "tello obelisk," I believe from South America. Not Mayan, but very interesting style (and a huge amount of symbollism and detail).
