Seen from slightly above a half-collapsed chamber, the stairway of the Building of Five Stories descends towards the Great Acropolis court. Just behind the stairs and slightly obscured by them is the so-called House of the Moon. To its right is the Southwestern Temple, and behind it the South Temple closes the Main Plaza to the south. To the right of this building we can see the southernmost tip of the aptly-named Nohoch Na ("Big House" in Mayan). Beyond is the jungle, still shrouding the southwestern quarter of this once-thriving city. |
