I have finally uploaded photographs of my visit to Chacchoben to my Flickr account.
Chacchoben is a Mayan ceremonial center in the Yucatan about which very little is known. Only one scholarly work has been published, and it is written in Spanish (I've requested it through inter-library loan, and I'm gonna try to decipher it!).
Visitors are allowed to see the large Temple (Temple 24), and two others nearby which are on top of a large platform (you can see the large stairway that leads to the top of the platform in my set). There is another unexcavated group of temples a short distance away that is part of the same complex.
I'm working on a personal project to pull materials together and get a better overall picture of Chacchoben, and I'll be post it it here when I do.
