    Although the 'pyramid' in the back looks a bit more Byzantine then Mayan.

    Image and drawing of a stela from the Mayan Capitol of Sak Tz'i' (white dog), apparently a lot of walls around this one.

    Been looking at some of the artwork from Magic: the Gathering recently, specifically for the Ixalan expansion.

    maxresdefault.jpg

    mtg_ixalan_legion_of_dusk_vs_river_heralds_2017_by_onikaizer_dcgxera-fullview.jpg

    Inca Dinosaur-riders, Vampire Conquistadors, Mayan Water-Sprites, and Pirates. What more do you need?

    5edf5621a23c37fa28aaf488c63ee006.jpg

    I specifically like the Mayan-water dudes. They are all brightly colored, and covered in small jade pendants.

    I have looked over and probably posted pictures of Hochob before

    01.jpg

    Little did I realize, there is a small stela in front of the carved entrance, as well as a backdoor!!

    02.jpg

    The stela:

    Entrance in red:

    And a scale model of the site!

    After researching that last image of the tower of Hochob, I came across this website depicting the beautiful artwork of Steve Radzi.

    Radz-Chamax.jpg

    He has a ton of beautiful depictions of Mayan sites, here are my favorites.
