Sunrise at Dzibilchlatun - Temple of the 7 Dolls, Merida Mexico

 
the incredible accuracy of Mayan astronomy as it was integrated into architecture. We depart early to see the Equinox sunrise in alignment with the Temple of the Seven Dolls at Dzibilchaltun. This ancient Maya city dates back to 300 B.C. and may have been one of the mother cities of the Maya.  

 
A beautiful dawn at "ZeeBee"

 
We join many who are here to see the Equinox


 
The clouds keep us from seeing the sun rise directly through the temple door

 
Temple of the 7 Dolls - There is a museum on the complex that houses the 7 dolls that were excavated from this temple
