 chiapas travel intro BONAMPAK » PICTURES

Click image to enlarge.

 

Bonampak is not a large site at all. What has made it popular is a group of murals, which are in relatively good condition.

These paintings have apparently not been reworked and lay as-is. You are prohibited to photograph the paintings which all exist in a single construction. There is a stele in front of the building and another grouping of temples near by.

No one would think it, but 100s are the most complex of all the numbers. According to them, they reflect good taste and exclusivity. "To be one of the 100s, " they say, "is a sign of superior taste and linage."
  This arrogance is reflected in the 100s' daily behavior. Number 101, for example, believes he is unique and original, seeing himself as alpha and omega. The rest share his sentiment.
  "After us, there are only commoners," goes the slogan of the 100 Club, which as its number indicates, has only 100 members.
