The Mayan don't believe in "Heaven & Hell", good & evil
They believe in the spirit world/underground/source of life and nature/above ground
The idea of their people being put into the earth after death is
a sign of renewal. The happy skull represents the contribution
of their spirits to the health of the rest of the community
 



This temple was on one of the 'White Roads'
Which connect parts of this site
to Chichen Itza via the jungle.
Just like the roads that connected the villages in Costa Rica
Pretty cool, eh?!
