 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.

 
Once upon a time, there was a little seamstress who sewed mightily on his sewing machine. The other machines in his neighborhood laughed at him, and shouted: "Fairy! Only old women are streamstresses!" So the little seamstress sewed shut the mouths of everyone who made fun of him. That is why, to this day, we do not know how the story ended, because no one could tell it.
