DVD-Download: http://hilaroad.com/video/ - A chance to take part in some amateur archaeology. This video presents theories about the meaning of a symbol on a Mayan temple at Tulum near Cancun. I believe this symbol and temple relate to Mayan observations of the stars, others have suggested the temple is an ancient lighthouse, or a sacrificial center, even that the symbol is related to Dan Brown's story the DaVinci Code!

  • The box was ...

    The box was possibly a way of viewing certain star clusters. Like projecting the image on the back wall from the hole. Similar to viewing a solar eclipse using a box with a hole in it. Then the star pattern would be opposite on the wall and upside down.

    9:02, right smack in the middle of the screen. It quite possibly could have signified a time to plant crops, or to harvest. It could have also been used as a lighthouse. Most ancient structures have more than 1 use, including the pyramids.

    what you are seeing is a Camera obscura. they tend to be built on hilltops. In the temple by the sign is a reses, which could of held a roll of thin paper over the door everybody facing south before mid day it would look dark. when the sun in line with the sign(try a bit of wood in the hole as a indicator) and when the shadow line up some guy blow a horn for dinner, or some thing. yet if he was in side it could make a shadow puppet like Punch and Judy at the sea side.
