Temple of the Inscriptions - 29963 Palenque

Not possible to go inside of course, but still an amazing thing to see!

A exceptional monument and breath taking experience.Gave me goosebumps and felt truly blessed to have been in it's presence

It's amazing. Unfortunately we can no longer climb up or get down to the burial chamber (it was closed for preservation purposes)

See my instagram for more photos and story's @somewherewithsara This place had incredible history and it is really a mindblowing experiance. No temples are the same and they leave a different feel that lingers for days. This place is one of my favourites and we met alot of people trying to sell their craft and they told me so much of the history that you can't read on the signs. It really was a memory for life and I really recommend going here! 5/5! Go just go!

This is one of the few sites where you can get into the rulers burial chamber. The vault itself can be seen over in the museum.

Temple of the inscriptions In front under a tree is bench to sit in the shad. On the bench is a drawing in stone. I saw a stone carving drawing of a head. It must be part of the Tempe of the inscriptions. I put water on the drawing to bring out the photo. It need to be preserved. It will not last a year. Preservation, preservation, preservation.

The Temple of the Inscriptions (Classic Maya: Bʼolon Yej Teʼ Naah (Mayan pronunciation: [ɓolon jex teʔ naːh]) "House of the Nine Sharpened Spears") is the largest Mesoamerican stepped pyramid structure at the pre-Columbian Maya civilization site of Palenque, located in the modern-day state of Chiapas, Mexico. The structure was specifically built as the funerary monumentfor K'inich Janaab' Pakal, ajaw or ruler of Palenque in the 7th century, whose reign over the polity lasted almost 70 years. Construction of this monument commenced in the last decade of his life, and was completed by his son and successor K'inich Kan B'alam II.Within Palenque, the Temple of the Inscriptions is located in an area known as the Temple of the Inscriptions’ Court and stands at a right angle to the Southeast of the Palace.The Temple of the Inscriptions has been significant in the study of the ancient Maya, owing to the extraordinary sample of hieroglyphic text found on the Inscription Tablets, the impressive sculptural panels on the piers of the building, and the finds inside the tomb of Pakal.

We went early in the morning on a Sunday. Want busy around 8am. We got a guide along the way. It was 110 pesos to get in. 20 pesos to maintain the road and 90 for the archeological area. The was 1300 for 1.5 hours or 2 hours was 2300 pesos. Totally worth going with the guide. He knew way more than the info there. Amazing spot.
