ANCIENT TEMPLES OF MEXICO YUCATAN & CHICHEN ITZA MAYAN PYRAMIDS 53824
This color film begins at Teotihuacan, the Temple of the Feathered Serpant, with its curled down snouts (:08-:19), followed by the turned up snouts at the Mayan Chichen Itza, including carvings on The Nunnery (:20:43). A serpent statue has a wide open mouth, followed by the reclining Chacmool statue (:44-:53). The Temple of the Warriors is shown (:54-1:07). Nearby is El Castillo, also known as the Temple of Kukulcan (1:08-1:25). Looking west is the House of the Tigers and the Great Ball Court, where the game of Pitz was played. The rubber ball had to be bounced through the stone hoops without the use of hands (1:26-2:11). Also at Chichen Itza is El Caracol, the observatory (2:12-2:24). A descendant makes flour and another draws water up in a bucket at a well. Several women and a baby are shown up close (2:33-3:10). A man carries sticks on his back (3:11). The house roofs are thatched (3:17-3:25). The women leave to go to the market to sell and buy items, carrying items on their heads. Many different people are shown in the marketplace (3:26-4:30). In Merida, the bakerβs delivery boys carry large metal ovens on their heads to keep the bread warm (4:31-5:00). A horse-drawn cab carries passengers to a house. A chair is used for them to step down on to reach the ground (5:01-5:38). Inside, the women join in a feast day during Lent, at which the unique Yucatan Khurana dance is performed (5:39-7:12). The women leave in the horse-drawn cab, colorful shoes climbing in on a chair (7:13-7:38).
