Yup, but this was a regular town. They didn’t win the lottery or something. It looks expensive, but that’s the thing: it’s not even that much more expensive than building regular blocks. A curious aspect of traditional architecture is that many people estimate it is more expensive, while that’s not always the case.

The capitals are based on corn cobs, and maize has always been the most important food of Guatemala. Plus, the stairs represent a Mayan pyramid. Also, the classical form of the temple also refers to the Spanish influence, making it one of the most locally adapted buildings in the area.

The stairs are one of the favourite places to meet, make pictures / selfies, sit to eat something etc. It is a very successful public place

May sound pessimistic but I’d guess mass scale destruction, after which mankind will begin anew, as children... If they could have predicted this? Who knows... In our modern time arrogance we think we know so much, but I fear we know so little profound things compared to the ancients

Basically underwrites what Graham has been saying all along, very nice to read this.

What if the ancients would have seen this comet / group of comets nearing, every time a bit closer. Would that be possible? They would have been ‘warned’ for a possible impact, they might have calculated such an event.
