The Mayan Osario pyramid Chichen Itza

The Mayan Osario pyramid Chichen Itza
Another fine pyramid in this giant archaeological site.:
The Osario itself, is a step-pyramid temple dominating its platform. Like its larger neighbour (The Castle), it has four sides with staircases on each side. There is a temple on top, but unlike El Castillo, at the center is an opening into the pyramid which leads to a natural cave 12 metres (39 ft) below. Edward H. Thompson excavated this cave in the late 19th century, and because he found several skeletons and artefacts such as jade beads, he named the structure The High Priests' Temple. Archaeologists today believe neither that the structure was a tomb nor that the personages buried in it were priests. ...............Modified Wiki

I'm familiar with the name of this site and for some reason it always brings to my mind the story of Chicken Little and the sky about to fall on his head. Don't ask me to explain .. I couldn't! Fine shot!

The place name reminds me a bit of' Chicken little' too, Andy. The right kind of place too as the historical stories about this are almost just as unbelievable as your child's story. I thought I had put up a description here but I see it never made it. Will try to remedy that now. Done! Herb

ps: Chicken Little said, "Some of it fell on my tail." Henny Penny said, "The sky is falling, Turkey Lurkey."
