Seven .. what?

Seven .. what?

Here is the temple of the seven dolls at the site of Dzibilchaltun. This edifice lies at the end of the great Sakbe that runs through the center of Merida. This temple is named as such because when it was “discovered” seven crudely shaped doll statues were found within the rubble on the interior of the structure. On the exterior, detailed designs of the rain god, Chaac, are seen built into the upper section of the building. Located around this area are several buildings that held purification ceremonies for the participants of the ceremonies that took place within this temple. We were told that it was based on a steam bath design that would cleanse body and spirit before worship.

Hi, I am just beginning a world adventure of my very own! My name is Tristan Davis Fralick and I am a nursing and social justice student from the central New York region. I really enjoy working with people and I have made it my goal to see as much of the world's cultures as possible to best understand and relate to the people that live all around us. In my free-time I enjoy hiking, biking, swimming, playing music, cooking, writing (obviously), and learning new things in any way that I can. This is a blog consisting of my travels past and present. I hope that you enjoy!
