Mayan Ceremony Plaza

Yesterday, when we finished the class in Paxot II, I was asked to drive up to the new Mayan Ceremony area.  Cesar, Martina, Cecibel and I drove to the area. It was finished right before Christmas.  I was told that once this area was built, that the Mayan sacrifices and ceremonies that they usually have by the big Catholic Church, would stop.

It is called Oxlajuj B'ak'tun Mayan Plaza of Ceremony. This is the view from the cemetery above.  The plaza was opened on December 19, 2012.  It cost 1.5 million quetzales and was privately funded.
It represents the New Mayan Era.

There are four points of sacrificing, representing the four directions. Three areas only have one statue. The north statues, represent the New Era.

It is built in a circle to signify the Mayan belief in time.......where something ends, there is also a beginning.

This photo shows how close it is to the cemetery. You can also see how deep they cut into the land to build it.

This is the center of the circle.  I was told that the snake represents Moses, when he lifted up the serpent on the pole in Numbers.

The statues to the far left, are the ones that represent the Mayan New Era.

This is the southern sacrificial spot. 

OK, we played tourists for a minute.......Martina, Cesibel and me.

I told them to, "Strike a Pose!"  They were being too serious!  Martina, Cesibel and Cesar having a little fun.
