The Tzompantli, or Wall of Skulls, at Chichén Itzá. Its carved skulls are associated with death, sacrifice and warfare in ancient Maya culture.

Each skull has slightly different features and details.

You should have seen Little’s face when I told him his history assignment today was to build a model of Cahokia, Machu Pichu, Teotihuacan or Chichenitza in Minecraft!

He aligned his temples with the sun.He built a milpa ag system!

A golden frog pendant from the Sacred Cenote at Chichén Itzá, which I saw yesterday at the Museum of Anthropology in Mérida.

I struggled to get a good photo because it’s protected behind thick cylindrical glass.

Second picture from a different angle in the thread.

Almena: a powerful symbol of warfare and political power in Maya architecture. These repeating roof elements were more than decoration—they communicated authority.

Descending (Diving) God aka Ah Muzen Cab

The Mesoamerican Descending God (also called the Diving God) is a unique deity in Maya religion, famously depicted upside down as if plunging headfirst from the sky. Carved or painted upside down with legs splayed out and hands holding offerings (such as copal incense) or with bee-like wings. Most prominently featured at the Post-Classic Maya coastal site of Tulum (on structures like the Temple of the Descending God and the Temple of the Frescoes), as well as sites like Chichen Itza and Cobá. Many archaeologists link the Descending God to Ah Muzen Cab, the Maya god of bees and honey, representing a bee coming in for a landing. Because the Maya word for honey was similar to the word for "world," this deity was tied to creation and life. The diving posture symbolizes the transition or connection between the celestial realm (the sky) and the earthly realm or the underworld.

Two photos I just took of Chichén Itzá under a blazing sun — or, as the Bible puts it, “the sun of righteousness.” ☀️🇲🇽

Playing around with AI - I bought this figurine when I was visiting Chichenitza, and I had AI re-imagine it as a human.

🌌1991 - Mexico. Behind the scenes of the Chichenitza arc.

Dee and Drake, side by side, not in character—but in quiet connection. The storyline said goodbye. This moment said “we’re still here.”

Offscreen magic, legacy warmth, and a bond that fans never stopped believing in.

Behind-the-scenes photo of Deidre Hall and Drake Hogestyn in Mexico, 1991, during the filming of the Chichenitza storyline for Days of Our Lives. Dee wears a floral dress and wide-brimmed hat, while Drake is dressed in black with a matching hat. They stand close together in front of a stone wall, relaxed and smiling. Though their characters were scripted to drift apart, this candid moment captures the offscreen ease and chemistry that fans never stopped rooting for.
