The woods of Uaxactun
The woods
Grupo ruins, as with all Guatemalan mayan ruins, they are tastefully restored with trees growing between the ruins. Quite unlike the Mexican sites where it is mostly bare and exposed.
One of the major astrological study complexes where the stars are aligned with, I spend part of the evening starglazing at some of the complexes.
Shows the difference between the exposed buildings and the ones still in their mounts. This site possibility residential quarters with many tiny rooms.
As with all sites, there is always a complex at the highest point looking over at the whole area. A tall building possibilty the king's residence. The complex over looks the town of Uaxactun and beyond.
Most ruins exposed and escavated have long collasped The stones are left as it is and not restored.
