Bonampak Paints

Bonampak Paints - Pintura Bonampak

Here is a couple of pics of the famous paints in Bonampak.

Located in a special room in the main piramid there, they are located in three smaller rooms.
They represent a religious ceremony, a war ritual sacrifice, and the marking of a noble child.

They are very impressive
Lots of colors, and pretty details.
Good to see they have been preserved so far.

Bye for today

Bonampak

Bonampak

Bonampak

So this weekend, it was time to go visit a few more archeological places.

Fist stop, Bonampak, in the state of Chiapas.
It's a small archeological site, only a couple of buildings
Still the main building is very impressive. Bit of climbing.
And as with all these places, being in the middle of the jungle, one can see lots of greens , and sometimes animals.

There is also the paintings.

Kisses for today
