    So true. How did they manage to build it so perfectly?

    Fantastic – another addition to my must-see list! I’ve seen worship sites the world over, but nothing like that!

    The massive pyramid is massive, but like all cultures that hoped to build monuments that reached to the heavens, the supreme being allowed them to erode over time and keep us mortals on the ground. What may be unimpressive to God is still quite impressive to us all…

    What an unexpected pyramid. So different from the many we see out of Mexico. I’d love to spend time in San Miguel Allende. Such a magical place.

    That’s a beautiful, old temple!
    The amount of work and thought that went into it, without modern tools, is awe inspiring.
    I love the shadows in your photo as well.
    Have a Beautiful Day!
    Peace 🙂
