Such beautiful country! Which country is it in? Something about ruins feels strange to think someone lived there. I saw some ruins down in side of a huge valley out in the middle of nowhere in Mexico. It was a tiny village that had been abandoned. The various homes were close together. Only stone walls and floors remained. On the walls inside the rooms "plaster" came up halfway and there were remains of maybe paint on the plaster. It was reddish. In one room I saw a good sized corn grinding stone. It was concave where the corn was ground. Outside the grouping of homes was a large roundish stone with a hole carved into the top of it about 3 feet across and the front of the stone facing the valley below the stone was shaped to look like the head and front of a frog. Perhaps it had a religious purpose? The hole in it's top maybe held offerings? But the view across the valley to the distant mountains on the other side was amazing. Since there were no nearby modern cities or factories the air was so clear you could see details on the mountain slopes. I couldn't believe how clean the air was. The sky above was so clear that the blue of the sky at midday was such a rich colour of blue it made me dizzy to look up at it. It made me feel like I was going to fall up into it, it was such a deep blue. I was told the ruins were called Yagul. I believe I found the ruins of this tiny village more fascinating than the ruins of tenochtitlan where the pyramid of the Moon and the pyramid of the Sun are. And all the smaller ruins around them. The pyramid of the Sun was a huge building. At that time we were allowed to climb it. I managed to climb about a third of the way up. The altitude started getting to me and I stopped. The steps were half the width of a modern stair step and it made me worry about falling down. When I looked down people looked as tiny as ants below! And I wasn't even halfway up! But Yagul was somehow more interesting. Ordinary people had lived there , unlike Tenochtitlan which was a ceremonial place. And every day when they woke up and went outside they saw such a view of the valley way below where you could see so clearly streams and cactus and even small farmed fields with those beautiful mountains across the valley from them. And a sky overhead so blue you could fall into it. Ruins are amazing!
