EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the mesmerizing beauty of the Temple of the Sun, a remarkable archaeological site. Taken by an American photographer in the 19th century, this print showcases a panel on the back wall of the sanctuary, adorned with intricate inscriptions. The image was captured from a plaster cast, providing a unique perspective on this ancient Mayan structure. The photograph is part of an article on Mayan Calendar Systems by Cyrus Thomas, featured in the Nineteenth Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology to the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution in 1897-98. It offers valuable insights into native social structures and ancient civilizations. The composition transports us back in time to explore Mexico's rich history and cultural heritage. The ruins depicted here speak volumes about indigenous tribes and their way of life during that era. As we gaze upon these weathered walls and deciphered engravings, we can't help but feel connected to those who once inhabited this sacred space. This image serves as both a testament to human ingenuity and an invitation for further exploration into archaeology and anthropology. It reminds us that beneath our modern world lies layers upon layers of fascinating stories waiting to be uncovered. Through photography like this one, we are able to preserve these precious glimpses into our past for generations to come.
