EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the exterior of the Sun Temple, a magnificent architectural masterpiece of the Late Classic period in the ancient Maya city of Palenque, located in the Chiapas region of Mexico. Dating back to the 7th or 8th century AD, this temple is a testament to the advanced knowledge and artistic skills of the Maya civilization. The temple, also known as the Temple of the Sun or Temple X, is oriented towards the east, allowing the first rays of the sun to illuminate its intricately carved facade every morning. The temple's name is derived from the numerous sun symbols adorning its exterior, which were believed to represent the god of the sun, Kinich Ahau. The temple is characterized by its vertical design, with the main structure reaching a height of over 20 meters. The exterior walls are adorned with vibrant colors, which have been preserved remarkably well despite the passage of time. The intricate carvings on the temple's facade depict various scenes from Maya mythology, including the descent of the sun god into the underworld. The Sun Temple is just one of many impressive structures that can be found in Palenque, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that attracts visitors from around the world. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and artistic achievements of the ancient Maya civilization, making it a must-see for anyone interested in history, archaeology, or art.
